• La Mandoline has folding feet and can be easily stored.

• A non-skid coating covers the feet base to ensure a secure and steady use.

• La Mandoline can be used either directly on the working surface or above a container . Inserting of blades The blades are very sharp so please always handle the blades by holding it by their handle. Never make any adjustment by direct hand contact with the sharp edge or by using a metal object. This is not only for safety reasons, but it also might damage the blade. HORIZONTALE DOUBLE-BLADE

• La Mandoline REVOLUTION has one double horizontale blade - one micro serrated side and one serrated side - to produce slices or crinkles.

• La Mandoline REVOLUTION has dif- ferent Julienne horizontale blades (with spacings 2-4-10 mm) to produce sticks and French fries.

• To pick out them easily: each Julienne blade has its own colour and is marked to indicated the spacing.

• Julienne blades are stored in a plastic box to fit under the body of the Man- doline.

• Choose the cut - slice or crinkle – with the chosen side facing up the Mandoline handle. The horizontal blade is to be inserted in La Mandoline on the left side. This blade should be pushed all the way in. A soft snap will confirm a complete insertion.

• Turn over the Mandoline; the dicing «cube system» must be set up. Open the bolts.

• Insert the blade; the markers on the Ju- lienne blade and those on the Mandoline must t.

• When the blade is its place, lock the bolts. boltPUTTING INTO SERVICE 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 mount- ed on a spring which helps to press the food and then slowly releases it as the vegetables or fruits diminish after each cut. Notch 90° to control rotation for dicing and wafe cuts.Notch 45° to control rotation for Diamond and wafe cuts.• The slider and its pusher are equipped with a rotating control system to cut easier and more regularly.• The stop is also used as a rest to stay always in linewhen Julienne are cut.• The stop of the slider blocks the rotating movement.This enables to cut regurlarly.

ROTATING CONTROL SYSTEM

• The upper plate allows for adjusting the thickness of the cuts.

• The thickness can be set up to a maximum of around 10 mm (3/8”).

• 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. UpperplateTighteningknobs

• For all the cuts in general, place the oblong food product in the slider along its length and slightly inclined on one side.

• Remove the storage box for Julienne blades during use and replace it for storage. Slices Crinkle cuts To cut slices, choose the side of the horizontale blade: micro serrated side or serrated side according the required cut. No Ju- lienne blade is placed. Insert the horizontale blade. Adjust the thickness. Cut the product with up- and-down movement. FOR HORIZONTALE CUTS with the horizontale blade used by itself, REMOVE THE DICING CUBE SYSTEM: move back the slider to place it on the dicing Cube System (1) and lock both bolts on the frame of the Mandoline (2).

• For easier cutting of hard products, press on the central shaft of the pusher during the with up-and-down movement.

• Place the product in the slider, place the pusher. Then push the slider down with the pusher (2) and push it then back to the top. Once the slider is com- pletely above the blade, rotate the pusher on quarter turn , until the stop of the slider (3). Maintaining the rotated position push the slider down over the blade and again back to the top (4). Rotate the pusher in the opposite direc- tion. Repeat the movements until the product is completely cut.

• Use the serrated side of the horizontale blade. Adjust the thickness to a very thin thickness between 0 and 2 (see the thic- kness markers from 0 to 10 on the frame); this thickness can be adjusted according to the product consistency. Push up the upper plate(1) : place your other hand be- low the lower portion of the top plate and raise it as much as possible. Then tighten the knobs. Insert the horizontale blade and remove the dicing Cube System.

2THE CUTS CRINKLE STICKS It is also possible to cut CRINKLE STICKS: insert the horizontale blade using its SERRATED side. Choose the required Julienne blade in its sto-rage box under the Mandoline : for such cuts, it is possible to use Julienne blades from spacement 4 mm. To realize oversized French fries with the 10-mm Julienne blade, push down theupper plate to the lowest level when youadjust the thickness (press on the plate). e upper plate and the Julienne blade go down.

STICKS AND FRENCH FRIES

Insert the horizontale blade using its straight micro serrated side. Choose the required Julienne blade in its storage box under the Mandoline Adjust the thickness (see the markers from 0 to 10 on the frame). Cut the product with up-and-down movement. Be careful : stay always in line when cutting to avoid cutting dices/losanges. Use the stop of the slider as a rest when Julienne are cut.stop of the slider 2 mm 4 mm 10 mm storage box 3 Julienne bladesExamples of Julienne cutsTHE CUTS

• Insert the horizontale blade using its straight micro serrated side.
• Place the choosen Julienne blade - Be sure that the upper plate is loosenedand can free move.• Adjust the thickness according the vertical DICES markers engraved onthe Mandoline frame.

The stop of the slider controls the rota-tion. Maintaining the rotated position push the slider down over the blade(4) and again back to the top. Repeat the movements until the product iscompletely cut. DICES DIAMONDS

• The cutting method is the same as for dices.Just make a smaller rotation than 1/4 turn.ADVICES : - For an easy cut, move the slider fast when cutting.- Be careful: if the upper plate is too low (if the thickness is too large), the dices don’t come off. Then adjust the thickness. LONG CUTS OPTIONAL: EXTRA-LONG PUSHER (réf.2012.55) The Mandoline REVOLUTION MASTER is sup-plied with an EXTRA-LONG PUSHER + its slider:- to cut long vegetables in sticks (zucchini, carott,horse radish, ...) - to cut tagliatelles of potatoes, cucumbers, zuc-chini,...- to cut extra-large French fries, etc.
