Fill hopper with radishes
and feed carefully with finger tips. For carrot
curls, lay carrot flat across cutting cone and
press firmly.

sandwiches where very thin slices are
desired. Best results are obtained if onion is
peeled, cut in half, and outside is placed next

Cleaning
Before first use and after each subsequent use, thoroughly clean the unit with
a damp, soapy cloth and rinse with warm water. To retain the mirror-like finish,
dry with a soft cloth. Similar to any high quality cutlery, dishwasher use is not
recommended as the harsh detergents can dull the cutting cones and the
overall finish of the unit.
To remove the hopper section for cleaning, hold the base securely and
lift hopper section up and to the left. It should slide off of the base. It is not
advisable to immerse the hopper portion of your Saladmaster® Machine in
water. Clean as directed above.
To clean food guide and suction cups simply wipe a damp, soapy cloth and
rinse with warm water.
Cutting cones are easily cleaned by holding them under warm running water
immediately after use. Do not leave cutting cones in water or stack them together
when wet. Leave them to drip-dry separately or dry them with a soft cloth.
CAUTION:
As with any precision cutting instrument, the edges of the
cutting cones are very sharp. Use extreme care when handling.

•
To vary the cut, you may place the food
f irmly against the back edge of the food
guide, rather than placing it inside the
hopper. Place the food upright for short
cuts or at an angle for elongated cuts. To
ensure even cuts, apply constant, gentle,
downward pressure to the food while
turning the food cutter handle.

•
To remove the food guide, f irst remove
the cutting cone from the food cutter.
Next, gently lift the front edge of the
guide frame and slide the food guide off
of the hopper. Be sure to slide it parallel
to the top edge of the hopper until it is
completely removed. DO NOT twist or
pull the food guide off of the food cutter.
•
Thoroughly clean after each use.
CAUTION:
When using the food cutter, be sure to keep fingers away from
the cutting edge. As with any precision cutting instrument, the edges of the
cutting cones are very sharp. Use extreme care while handling.
