PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Disc is upside down or tabs are not aligned. Make sure you can read "This side up" and the type of
disc—"Spiral," "Ribbon," or "Grate"—is visible. Using finger holes in disc, align the double notches in
disc with the two tabs on the cutter base.
• The cutter grip has lost its grip on the food. Stop the motor. Remove the food, recut a flat edge on
each side, and try again.
• The unprocessed remainder from the last piece spiralized may still be attached to the cutter grip. Stop
the motor. Check to see if piece of food is attached. Remove the food and try again.
• Periodically stop and check discs. If food has collected on blade, clean and restart.
• Some foods may not be suitable for spiral, ribbon, or grate discs.
• Not pressing hard enough or pressing too hard. Apply light, constant pressure to cutter adapter while
processing food. Allow the cutter adapter and motor to work at their own pace. NOTE: Pressing
harder will not speed up the process or make the Spiralizer cut better. The cutter adapter is the
mechanism that turns, not the disc. Pushing down with too much force actually slows the rotation of
the cutter adapter.
• Food is not centered in the food chamber. Stop the motor. Recut a flat edge on each side. Be sure
piece of food is centered on the center spike of the disc and try again.
• Food may not be flat. Cut food so both ends are flat.
• Food is too small in diameter or too tall. For best results food should be 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm)
in diameter and no longer than 2 1/2 inches (6.4 cm). A general rule is that the food should be stable
enough to stand by itself. A small-diameter food may work better when cut shorter than 2 1/2 inches
(6.4 cm).
