Wall Mounting (optional) Before installation: check plate for any damage. Be sure to inspect the wall-mount bracket for any damage to make sure there are no dents im- proper bends. Note: mounting screws and hard- ware are not included

• Important: do not mount the bracket on drywall or paneling without first anchoring to a wall stud!

• Since significant force is required to pull down on the cutter handle, the mounting bracket must be securely anchored on a wall by at- taching three of the vertical holes with 1/4”1ag bolts to the center of an interior vertical wall stud and the other three vertical holes to the wall using 1/4” expanding toggle bolts. (sold separately)

• Locating wall studs: anchoring the mounting plate on a wall stud assures that your fry cutter will not pry loose during operation. Wall studs are spaced either 16 or 24 inches on center running floor to ceiling as part of a wood struc- ture’s framing. It is recommended to use an electric stud finder (sold separately) to locate wood (or steel) studs more quickly and accu- rately for the location where you want to mount the cutter wall bracket. Note: be aware that items such as ducts, electrical wires and wa- ter pipes may be behind the walls in your work area. Exercise care when installing fasteners.5

• For attaching the bracket securely to other wall surfaces such as concrete or brick, see your local hardware store for recommendations on using the appropriate concrete and mason- ry fasteners and anchors for your particular structure.

• After you have mounted the cutter wall brack- et, simply slide in the French fries cutter from the top. Be sure to place a food tub or large container directly under the cutter to catch cut fries and other produce. Use Now that your French fries cutter is fully assem- bled and ready to use. 1 Wash & dry potatoes. You can peel or leave the skin on. You can also use any hard vegetables that you are planning to use to make into fries. The unit is designed to handle vegetables up to 11 cm in diameter and 15 cm long. 2 It is recommended to cut a small flat edge on the end of larger potatoes. 3 Place prepared potato (cut side down) on the blade and holder assembly. 4 Occasionally if the potato is oversized, or if it is positioned at a slight angle to the blade, the potato may not be cut entirely. It is recom- mended to slice oversize produce into smaller pieces for easier cutting. 5 Be sure to remove hands and fingers from the cutting plate area. 6 Be sure you have a tub or plate underneath to catch the cut fries. 7 Use both hands, with one quick steady motion, pull down on the Handle to cut the potato. 8 Clean the machine after all cutting is complet- ed, refers to cleaning instructions listed in this manual.

• Cutting Plate: Remove two wing nuts, slide off 3/8” cutting plate and replace with either 1/4” or 1/2” size cutting plate. Two-hole design al- lows for correct placement of Cutting Plate every time. Note: Do not remove the acorn nuts.

• Push Block (Black): Locate the two thumb screws on the back of the mounting plate. Remove thumbscrews by hand or with screw- driver. Remove Pusher block and replace with optional 1/4” or 1/2” size pusher block. NOTE: Make sure the pusher block size matches up and fits with the cutting plate blade grid.

• Replace screws and tighten.
