4. Operating Instructions

Preparation of Ingredients:

For best results, ensure that ingredients are thoroughly cooked and soft. For potatoes, boil them until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. Peeling is optional but recommended for the smoothest results.

Using the Ricer:

1. Once assembled with the desired disc, place the ricer over a bowl or pot. The notched design allows it to rest securely on the rim of most tableware.
2. Place cooked ingredients (e.g., potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, pumpkin) into the ricer's basket. Do not overfill.
3. Firmly press the handles together. The plunger will push the food through the chosen disc, creating a fine, consistent texture.
4. Repeat the process until all ingredients are processed.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: The KASTWAVE Potato Ricer is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. For optimal longevity and to maintain its pristine condition, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended.
• Disassembly: For thorough cleaning, detach the discs and inner ring.
• Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Storage: Store in a dry place. Its compact design allows for easy storage in kitchen drawers or cabinets.

6. Troubleshooting

Issue: Difficulty pressing or food not ricing smoothly.

Solution: Ensure that the ingredients (especially potatoes) are cooked thoroughly until very soft. Hard or undercooked ingredients will be difficult to press and may not yield the desired smooth texture. If using potatoes, they should be easily pierced with a fork before ricing.
