Resolució de problemes

• Food Sticking to Runway: The mandoline features a textured runway designed to prevent food from sticking. If food still sticks, ensure the food item is clean and dry before slicing. A very slight amount of cooking spray can sometimes help with particularly starchy vegetables, but ensure it does not affect the grip of the food holder.
• Food Holder Not Gripping: Ensure the food item is properly impaled on the prongs of the food holder. For smaller or irregularly shaped items, it may be challenging to get a secure grip. Consider cutting larger items into more manageable, flatter pieces.
• Difficulty Slicing the End of the Vegetable: The spring-loaded food holder is designed to push food towards the blade. However, for the very last portion of a vegetable, the food holder may not provide sufficient downward pressure or grip. For safety, do not attempt to slice the very last piece without the food holder. It is safer to discard the small end piece or finish cutting it with a knife if necessary.
• Seccions desiguals: Ensure consistent, even pressure is applied when sliding the food holder over the blade. The parallel surfaces are designed for even slices, but inconsistent pressure can lead to wedging or uneven results.
• Blade Appears Dull: The Japanese stainless steel blade is designed for long-lasting sharpness. If the blade seems dull, ensure it is clean and free of any dried food residue. Avoid cutting extremely hard items that could dull the blade. The blade is not user-sharpenable; if it becomes significantly dull, contact OXO customer support.
• Preocupacions de seguretat: Always use the food holder. Consider wearing cut-resistant gloves for added protection, especially when handling the blade or cleaning the unit. Never attempt to slice food directly with your hand.
