Operating Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash and peel vegetables (e.g., potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, sweet potatoes). For optimal results, cut larger vegetables to a size that fits comfortably into the cutting chamber without forcing. For tougher vegetables like sweet potatoes, it is recommended to heat them for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly, easing the cutting process.
- Position Vegetable: Place a prepared vegetable piece vertically into the cutting chamber, ensuring it is centered against the blade.
- Operate Lever: With one hand holding the base for extra stability if needed, firmly and steadily push the ergonomic lever handle downwards. The push plate will press the vegetable through the sharp blades.
- Collect Cut Pieces: The cut vegetable pieces will emerge from the bottom of the blade assembly. Place a bowl or container underneath to collect them.
- Repeat: Lift the lever handle back to its original position and repeat the process for the next vegetable piece.

Troubleshooting

| Cutter slides on countertop during use. | Suction cups not properly engaged or surface is wet/dirty. | Ensure countertop is clean and dry. Press down firmly on the cutter to activate suction cups. |
| Unevenly cut pieces. | Vegetable not centered or pushed unevenly. | Ensure vegetable is centered in the chamber. Apply even pressure on the lever. |
