USING YOUR POTATO RUMBLER AND USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Unpack the Potato Rumbler, remove all the packaging materials.

• Wash the lid, bowl and blades in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The blade is sharp, when washing by hand, hold by the plastic spindle and clean with a brush.
• Make sure that all parts are clean and dry before assembling the product.

WARNING: Do not insert the plug into a socket or turn on the Potato Rumbler before you have fully assembled it.

1. Place the base unit on a level, sturdy and dry surface near a socket, with the power button facing you. The appliance should be stable on its suction feet.
2. Wind any excess cord around the cord storage area underneath the power base. Guide the cord length you require through the gap in the base.
3. Place the bowl on top of the base unit lining up with the groove at the back. Gently push down, until it clicks into place. If the bowl is not correctly seated on the base unit the appliance will not work, this is a safety feature.
4. Hold the blade by the spindle and slot it onto the pin inside the bowl.
5. Put the lid on top of the bowl, lining up the tab on the lid, with the groove at the back of the bowl. If not correctly positioned the appliance will not work, this is a safety feature. Secure the lid with the two black catches.
6. The Potato Rumbler is now ready to use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Firstly, check that the power button is switched off before you plug in the appliance.

• Remove the lid.

• Fill the bowl with cold water no higher than the FILL mark. We recommend adding a half cup of cold water.
  DO NOT fill beyond the FILL mark otherwise the appliance will not work correctly and water may escape.

• Remove any excess soil from your potatoes.

• Add enough potatoes to the bowl to cover the blade, NEVER more than 1kg at a time.

• Put the lid on top of the bowl, with the tab on the lid at the back lining up, with the groove in the bowl. Close the two black catches.

• Plug in and switch on at the socket.

• The appliance has suction feet to keep it steady on your worktop during rumbling. Please note that it will vibrate but the suction feet will keep it in place during use.

• Switch on the power button and the Potato Rumbler will start rumbling.

• You can check the progress through the lid. The appliance will take about 1 minute to peel potatoes. Potatoes irregular in shape may take up more space and need a bit longer to peel, but do not allow the potato peeler to run for more than 4 minutes.

NEVER open the appliance when it is in operation.

• Once you are happy with your peeled potatoes, switch off the power button and switch off and unplug the appliance at the socket.

WARNING: Always wait for the blade to stop rotating completely before removing the lid.

• Remove the bowl by lifting from the front and gently move it backwards away from you and it will release off the safety catch.
• Rinse the potatoes, then carefully remove from the bowl and remove any excess peeling or eyelets on the potatoes with a small knife.
• Carefully take the blade out of the bowl holding the spindle.
• DO NOT put more than 1kg of potatoes into the peeler.
• DO NOT let the appliance work continuously for more than 4 minutes. Allow the motor to cool for 5 minutes before rumbling again.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Always insert the blade before adding potatoes to the bowl.
• Wash the potatoes first to remove any excess soil and debris before rumbling.
• The appliance has suction feet to help keep it steady on your worktop. For safety, keep a hand on the bowl whenever the appliance is running.
• Check the progress regularly, do not over rumble or your potatoes will become smaller and you will have lots of potato pulp.
• New potatoes take little time to peel, as they do not have hard skins.
