CUTTING POTATOES
CAUTION
Cut Hazard. The cutting plates
w
are sharp. Do not hold items to be cut while
pushing down on the handle.
1. Raise the handle of the French fry cutter
so that the push plate is away from the
cutting plate.
2. Insert a potato into the cutter length-wise
(standing on end) and slowly lower the
handle until the potato is held securely
between the push plate and cutting plate.
3. Push down on the handle and the potato
will be forced out through the bottom of
the cutting plate (FIGURE 5).
NOTE: For large potatoes, it is necessary
to cut a small, flat edge on the end of
the potato. Place the sliced flat end of
the potato against the blade and cut.
Microwave sweet potatoes or other firm
fruits or vegetables for 30 seconds to
soften slightly, if necessary.
