USEFUL TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
In order to obtain the best results, we recommend that you leave the ingredients in
the refrigerator before processing them. Overcooked ingredients will give you poor
results, as they may jam the appliance. Before using the mandoline, cut the food so
that it is easier to insert it in the feeding tube on the lid.
