Starfrit Pump 'N' Slice
Instructions for Use
Assembly
Wash the appliance before the first use. Please refer to the cleaning section in this booklet.
- Unfold the slicer's feet. Always make sure that both sides are completely open. Install the slicer on a clean and level surface for added stability.
- Remove the storage lid by pulling up the locking button.
- Install the feeder by placing its bottom edge (straight and serrated side) first, and then locking it into place by snapping in the top part.
- Unlock the spring pump by pressing down on the handle while exerting a slight rotation. The pump will deploy and the blades will move upwards.
- Place the container under the appliance and insert the pusher inside the feeder. The Pump'n'Slice is now ready to use.
Settings
The control settings are located on the back of the slicer.
- Dial: Select thickness of the slices, ranging from 0.5 mm to 8 mm, by turning the dial clockwise.
- Setting Tab: To activate the Julienne blades, lift the tab 90° from its base. Rotate the tab a full turn and snap it back on its base.
- 1. One Tab Activated: One row of Julienne blades is activated. Perfect for thicker cuts.
- 2. Two Tabs Activated: Two rows of Julienne blades are activated. Perfect for thinner cuts.
Important: To make sure the blades are activated, look over the settings located on the back of the slicer.

Usage

- Insert food inside the feeder and press down with the pusher.
- Press firmly on the spring pump while maintaining pressure on the food pusher. Repeat until you get the desired quantity.
Recommendation
For longer foods such as cucumbers, hold the end of the food and slice until the same length of the feeder. Once the food can entirely fit inside the feeder, you can finish the operation with the pusher. Always use the pusher when slicing food that fits in the feeder.
Cleaning
- Wash the appliance before the first use.
- It is important to always use the cleaning tool to remove food residue and parts stuck in the blades to avoid any contact with the blades.
- Remove the storage lid and feeder to expose the blades.
- All parts of the slicer are dishwasher safe. It is recommended to unlock the spring pump and to fold the feet and place in the top rack of the dishwasher.
