Before Your First Use
Carefully hand wash the mandoline slicer in warm water using a mild dishwashing
soap and a soft sponge or nylon pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Use extreme caution
as the blades are extremely sharp.
Selecting Your Blade
Your Robert Irvine Mandoline Slicer includes three built-in interchangeable blades:
straight blade for cutting slices and two Julienne blades for cutting small strips. The
mandoline also features a special setting to dice square and diamond shaped cubes.
Straight Blade:
Ideal for cutting a variety of fruits and
vegetables including carrots, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers, apples, lemons
and even hard cheese. Slice length or
widthwise. Blade width can be adjusted
to cut 1/4" thick to paper thin slices.
Julienne Blades:
The Julienne blades are used for cutting
fine to medium strips of fruits and
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots,
zucchini, etc. Ideal for everything from
French fries, to slaws, to vegetable sticks.
Choose from two blade sizes: 1/4" and
1/2" (please note sizes are approximate).
Thickness of the strips can be adjusted to
create shoestring like strands.
Dicing Function:
The hand guard/pusher (H) features a
special rotating mechanism. When used
in conjunction with the julienne blades
it produces uniform square or diamond
cubes. Perfect for chopping vegetables
for soups, casseroles, salads and more.
Best of all dicing vegetables speeds
up cooking times and gives food a
professional appearance.
