The thickness adjustment mechanism
• Maximum thickness is 10 mm
Upper plate
Tighenening
knob
• there are two tightening knobs on either side of La Mandoline,
which are to be loosened when changing the thickness of the slices (1);
there is no need to secure the tightening knobs too strongly, as it is
secure once you feel a reasonable resistance.
Once the knobs are loosened, the upper plate can freely slide up and
down and in turn increases or decreases the thickness of the cut (2).
• Once the desired thickness is obtained the knobs should then be
tightened again to produce the new thickness.

The slider and its pusher
• La Mandoline is delivered with its recep-
tacle and its pusher. they protect fingers
from the sharp blades and they must be
used at all times.
• Just slide the receptacle on the frame of la
Mandoline. it can not go off the rails.
• Food should be placed into the receptacle
(oversized vegetables or fruits should be
pre-cut in order to fit in the receptacle).
• Place the pusher in the middle of the
receptacle.
• the hand-held pusher actually pushes
the food toward the blades. the interior
pushing plate of the pusher has prongs
and pins to secure the food in place. the
pushing plate is mounted on a spring which
helps to press the food and then slowly
releases it as the vegetables or fruits dimin-
ish after each cut.
