The slider and its pusher

• La Mandoline REVOLUTION is delivered with its slider and its pusher. They protect fingers from the sharp blades and they must be used at all times. Just slide the slider on the frame of la Mandoline. It can not go off the rails.
• Food should be placed into the slider (oversized vegetables or fruits) should be pre-cut in order to fit in the slider).
• Place the pusher in the middle of the slider.
• The hand-held pusher actually pushes the food toward the blades. The interior pushing plate of the pusher has prongs and pins to secure the food in place. The pushing plate is mounted on a spring which helps to press the food and then slowly releases it as the vegetables or fruits diminish after each cut.

ROTATING CONTROL SYSTEM

• The slider and its pusher are equipped with a rotating control system to cut casier and more regularly.

Notch 90^ to control rotation for dicing and waffle cuts.

Notch 45^ to control rotation for Diamond and waffle cuts.

Stop of the slider

• The stop of the slider blocks the rotating movement. This enables to cut regularly.

• The stop is also used as a rest to stay always in line when Julienne are cut.

The thickness adjustment mechanism

• The upper plate allows for adjusting the thickness of the cuts.
• The thickness can be set up to a maximum of around 10mm (3/8").

Thickness Adjustment Markers

• There are two tightening knobs on either side of La Mandoline, which are to be loosened when changing the thickness of the slices (1); there is no need to secure the tightening knobs too strongly, as it is secure once you feel a reasonable resistance.

Once the knobs are loosened, the upper plate can freely slide up and down and in turn increases or decreases the thickness of the cut (2).

• Once the desired thickness is obtained the knobs should then be tightened again to produce the new thickness.
