5. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Inspect: Check the machine and core remover for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not use the product and contact customer support.
- Clean: Before first use, wash all parts that will come into contact with food using warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
- Placement: Place the flattening machine on a clean, stable, and flat surface.
6. Operation
6.1 Using the Core Remover
- Select a hawthorn or similar fruit.
- Position the tip of the core remover at the stem end of the fruit.
- Gently push and twist the core remover through the fruit to extract the core.
- Discard the core and prepare the fruit for flattening.
6.2 Flattening Hawthorns
- After coring, thread the hawthorns onto a skewer, leaving a small space between each fruit.
- Carefully place the skewer with the fruits into the designated groove on the flattening machine's base. Ensure the fruits are aligned under the pressing plate.
- Gently lower the pressing plate handle. Apply appropriate, even force to flatten the hawthorns. Avoid excessive force to prevent crushing.
- Once flattened to your desired thickness, lift the pressing plate handle to release the pressure.
- Remove the skewer with the flattened hawthorns.
- Repeat the process for additional fruits.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
- After each use, immediately clean the machine to prevent fruit residue from drying and sticking.
- Wash all parts with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Dry all components completely with a clean cloth to prevent water spots and rust.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
7.2 Storage
- Store the clean and dry flattening machine and core remover in a cool, dry place.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fruits are not flattening evenly. | Uneven pressure applied; fruits not centered. | Ensure fruits are centered and apply even, consistent pressure across the pressing plate. |
| Difficulty lifting the pressing plate after flattening. | Fruit residue stuck to the plate; plate mechanism is stiff. | Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. If stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. |
| Core remover is not effective. | Incorrect technique; fruit is too hard or too soft. | Ensure proper pushing and twisting motion. Use fruits that are ripe but firm. |
