FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
A. Curly Q Spiralizer Base: The Curly Q Spiralizer Base houses the spiralizer motor
and holds the EasyGrip Work Bowl, Wide Mouth Auto Feeder and Food Pusher. When
inserted, it also holds a Q Cut Cone for fast operation.
The Curly Q Spiralizer Base also houses the One-Touch Button for easy O/On
operation.
B. EasyGrip Work Bowl: With a clever built-in hand hold, the 4-cup plastic Work Bowl
collects a generous amount of spiralized foods. Toss the Work Bowl in the dishwasher
for easy clean-up when done.
C. Wide Mouth Auto Feeder: The Auto Feeder easily turns and locks into place over
the Q Cut Cone for complete safety and control. The clear plastic allows you to observe
the action as the Curly Q Spiralizer works for you.
D. Food Pusher: The Food Pusher assists the food in moving down and into the Q
Cut Cone for optimal operation. Note the custom Plastic X Blade on the bottom of the
Food Pusher, which is used to secure and center foods as they move toward the blades
in the Q Cut Cone.
E. Q Cut Cones: Your unique Curly Q Spiralizer comes with three Q Cut Cones. Three
sizes – Noodles, Thick Noodles and Ribbons – give you perfect control over the size of
spirals you create. These Cutting Blades are manufactured for precision cutting. Use
extreme caution when handling them.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Using a soft, damp cloth, clean the Curly Q Spiralizer Base, EasyGrip Work
Bowl, Wide-Mouth Auto Feeder and Food Pusher. Do not immerse the
Base, cord or plug in water. Dry thoroughly.

the Cone.
3. Place the Curly Q Spiralizer Base on a at counter surface.

ASSEMBLY
1. With the power unplugged, select the Q Cut Cone of your choice. Lift the
Cone by holding the upper lip of the Cone.
2. Insert the Cone, small cone end rst, into the top of the Base. (g 1) When
installed, the Cone will be level with the housing. (g 2)

gear of the Curly Q Spiralizer Base. (g 3)
4. Place the Wide-Mouth Auto Feeder on top of the Curly Q Spiralizer Base
and Q Cut Cone. Rotate slightly until it engages with the grooves in the
upper lip of the Base. Turn clockwise until it locks into place. (g 4, 5 and 6)

to create a straight edge on the top and bottom of the vegetable. Cut
squarely across the small root end. Note the X Blade on the bottom of the
Food Pusher. (g 7)
6. Place the Food Pusher upright on a clean surface and press one end of the
vegetable down rmly and evenly into the X Blade end of the Food Pusher
(g 8). When done, you will have connected the Food Pusher squarely
onto the end of the vegetable. (g 9)

STEP BY STEP SPIRALIZING
STEP BY STEP SPIRALIZING
Congratulations on your purchase of this fun and innovative Curly Q Spiralizer.
Before you begin to create spirals, check out the following hints and tips to get the
best spirals ever!
Please note your Curly Q Spiralizer is a NOT food processor even though it has a
variety of blade choices. Foods should be left whole, or cut only to t the top of the
Cone. Chopped foods or food cut in chunks will not spiralize.
• Ensure the Base O/On Control is turned OFF, then plug the Base into the outlet.
• Select vegetables or fruit to be spiralized.
• Food should be left whole when spiralizing. Do not cut into chunks and do not
chop foods. The Curly Q Spiralizer is unique and does not operate like a food
processor, therefore it is important that food moves through the Q Cut Cone as a
single large piece.
• Trim ends or sides thinly as needed to ensure that the food ts into the top of the
Q Cut Cone.
• Food must t into the top of the Q Cut Cone in order to move down through the
Cutting Blade.
• The Plastic X Blade on the end of the Food Pusher is important for operating the
Curly Q Spiralizer. Secure your food onto the X Blade of the Food Pusher correctly,
following the directions on p. 11 carefully.
• Note: Always secure the food to the Food Pusher and align the food in the Q Cut
Cone BEFORE turning the Control ON. If the Curly Q Spiralizer is turned OFF while
using, repeat the process of securing the food to the Food Pusher and placing it in
the Q Cut Cone before again turning the Control ON.
• When done, turn the O/On Button to OFF. Remove the plug from the outlet and
remove the Work Bowl. Empty the bowl and enjoy!
• Using one nger, press UP underneath the Cone until the Cone is free of the Base.
Do not press up on the blade, as it is extremely sharp.
• Remove the Cone and set aside for cleaning.

FOOD PREP HINTS & TIPS
FOOD PREP HINTS & TIPS
Firm vegetables and fruit should be used in the Curly Q Spiralizer for best results.
When looking for ideas, consider any of these:
Zucchini squash – peeled or unpeeled, whole
Summer squash – peeled
Jicama – peeled, cut to t
Cucumbers – peeled or unpeeled, whole
Sweet potatoes – trimmed to t, peeled
Pumpkin – peeled, trimmed to t
Beets – peeled, trimmed to t, whole
Turnips – peeled, trimmed to t, whole
Onions – peeled, trimmed to t, whole
Broccoli – stems only, whole
Celery root – peeled, trimmed to t
Apples – peeled, whole
Pears (rm only) – peeled or unpeeled, whole
• Foods such as beets or other highly-colored foods may stain other foods as they
combine in salads or stir fries; to minimize staining, spiralize these foods separately
or after all others.
• Broccoli crowns are the favorites of most diners, but the crowns will not spiralize.
The stems, however, are perfect for the Curly Q Spiralizer. Cut o any protruding
parts and secure the end of the stem with the Plastic X Blade, as directed on p. 11.
Make Noodles or Thick Noodles for an immediate nutritional boost to any
salad or side dish.
• To prepare foods for spiralizing, wash, peel and dry them thoroughly. Ensure that the
food you’ve selected will t in the upper part of the Q Cut Cone. If not, make a thin
slice on one side of the vegetable or piece of fruit until the food ts.
