Pampered Chef Rapid Prep Mandoline

UPRIGHT MANDOLINE

Our Rapid-Prep Mandoline lets you safely slice, dice, julienne, and french-fry cut fruits and veggies in seconds. Simply select your cut, adjust its thickness from 8 thickness settings, and get prepping. Our mandoline’s stainless-steel blade cuts through tough veggies, so you can transform a variety of ingredients into beautiful slices.

And, you can cut ingredients with confidence—our mandoline is designed to safely keep hands clear of blades. When you’ve finished prepping, you can store the food chute and food pusher in the food catch tray and fold it flat, though you’ll use it so often, you may want to leave it on your counter!

CLEANING

• • • Wash before using for the first time; dishwasher-safe on the top rack away from the heating element. To wash, fully disassemble, place the blade-side down so it’s flat on the dishwasher rack. Over continued time and use, potential squeaking may occur during use.
  • • To clean the blade, use the included cleaning brush to dislodge any food. Use extreme caution when handling the cleaning brush. Always use the cleaning brush when cleaning this product. Make sure your hands are dry when using the cleaning brush and never put your fingers near the blade.
  • • Make sure the product is dry before storing.
    • • For the best slicing results, food should be firm.
    • • Trim the rounded ends of foods for better contact with the blades.
    • • For long foods, cut in equal lengths and fill the hopper almost full to get even slices (i.e., celery, carrots). Otherwise, food may fall on the blade and cut lengthwise when pushed with the food pusher.
    • • Slice 3–4 small foods at a time (i.e. radishes, brussel sprouts).

USE AND CARE

To Assemble

1. Open the kickstand until it locks into place. (See Illustration 1) 2. Remove the food chute and the food pusher from the food bin. 3. Place the food bin with the notched end positioned against the back of the board. The tunnel underneath the food bin should rest on top of the kickstand bar and snap into place. (See Illustration 2) 4. Slide the cover downward to expose the cutting area. 5. To attach the food chute, slide the green food chute button up while sliding the chute into position; let go of the button once the chute is in place. Pull back on food chute to ensure it’s securely attached. (See Illustration 3) 6. To unlock the plunger, push and twist the knob counterclockwise and slowly let the plunger spring upwards. Use caution to not let go of the plunger after unlocking as this may cause the product to become unstable.

To Use

1. Once assembled, ensure the plunger is unlocked, turn the top dial on the back of the board to the desired cut style. Full slices Thick julienne slices Thin julienne slices 2. Turn the bottom dial on back of the board to the desired thickness. Each number represents the millimeter thickness. 1–8 mm = range of slice options 8 = perfect fry cut 4 = perfect julienne

3. Fill the hopper with food. Here are some tips when filling:

• 4. Use the food pusher to help guide the food through the blade while quickly pressing down on the pusher. Harder foods may require a little more pressure; do not force any food that won’t cut with minimal pressure.

5. Food will collect in the food bin. We do not recommend storing food in the food bin.

To Store 1. Ensure the unit is clean and fully dry. 2. Ensure the plunger is in the locked position. 3. Close the cover over the cutting blades on the board. 4. Place the food pusher and the food chute on one side nested in the food bin. 5. Align the green plunger over the same side where the food pusher and the food chute are. Place the board over the food bin aligning the green knob on the same side as the food pusher and the food chute. Slide the board onto the food bin. (See Illustration 4)
