SLICE BLADE
Fromthe“0”position,wheretheupper
plateisslightlyabovethesliceblade
(Image 6),pressinthecontroldial’s
outerringtounlockthedial.
Thenproceedtoselectthethickness
youdesire.
Youwillbeabletofeeltheclickof
eachlevelofthicknesswhenyouturn
thedial.
Whenholdingthemandolineand
lookingdownthetopofthegliding

avarietyoffoods,suchascarrots,

makepaperthinslices.
