MANDOLINE COMPONENTS

SLICING BLADE
This Blade features a straight side for straight slices and a wavy side for crinkle cuts and waffle cuts. A soft grip area lets you safely remove and insert this blade.

JULIENNE & THICKNESS CYLINDER
This rotating Cylinder has two sets of julienne blades. The row of blades set close together makes 1/8” square julienne strips. The row of blades set farther apart makes 3/8” square julienne strips. The Cylinder is also used for adjusting the thickness of straight, crinkle or waffle cuts, with Thickness Measurements indicated on its soft knob. The soft knob makes handling safe and easy.

RUNWAY
This is the surface along which you slide your vegetable during slicing. The top part of the Runway flips up for the removal of the Julienne & Thickness Cylinder. Both parts of the Runway flip up for cleaning.

HANDLE
The soft Handle is below the Runway to keep the Mandoline steady and your hand out of the way while slicing.

LEGS
Legs with non-slip feet fold up beneath the body for storage.

FOOD HOLDER
The Food Holder holds the food crosswise or lengthwise while you slide it along the blades and protects your hands from the blades. It snaps beneath the body for storage.

TO AVOID INJURY, PLEASE USE THE FOOD HOLDER FOR ALL TASKS. DO NOT USE THE MANDOLINE WITH PIECES OF FRUITS OR VEGETABLES  THAT ARE TOO LARGE FOR USE IN THE FOOD HOLDER.
