To use the spiralizer attachment, first secure it onto the base. Insert your desired vegetable, and slowly turn the handle to create spirals. Make sure to use the appropriate blade for the type of spiral you want.
Ensure that the blades are clean and sharp. Adjust the pressure on the vegetable being spiralized, and make sure it is centered properly. If problems persist, check the manual for maintenance tips.
Yes, the detachable parts of the spiralizer are dishwasher safe. However, it is recommended to place them on the top rack to avoid damage. Always refer to the user manual for specific cleaning instructions.
Regularly clean the blades with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly to prevent rust. Sharpen the blades as needed, and store them in a dry place to maintain their longevity.
The spiralizer works best with firm vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, potatoes, and cucumbers. Softer vegetables may not hold up well during the spiralizing process.
A loose handle might be due to improper assembly. Check the connection points and ensure all parts are tightly secured. Refer to the manual for assembly instructions if needed.
Make sure the vegetable is firmly attached to the spikes on the holder. Apply steady pressure while turning the handle to maintain contact with the blade.
Turn off the spiralizer and unplug it if it's electric. Carefully remove any vegetable pieces blocking the blades. Avoid forcing the handle, as this can damage the mechanism.
For uniform spirals, ensure even pressure is applied throughout the process. Practice makes perfect, so adjust your technique based on the type of vegetable used.
Disassemble the spiralizer and store the blades safely in their designated holder. Keep the unit in a cool, dry place to prevent any moisture damage.
