PUTTING 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.

• 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 line
when Julienne are cut.
• The stop of the slider blocks the rotating movement.
This enables to cut regurlarly.
ROTATING CONTROL SYSTEM
Stop of the slider
• 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.
