Using The Food Spiralizer
1 . Begin by cutting your fresh, raw food (vegetable/fruit) at least 1”
(2 .5cm) in diameter and 1” to 3 .5” (2 .5-8 .9cm) in length . Make sure
the top and bottom ends of your food pieces are cut straight and
flat so that they can be held firmly in place by the teeth on the
holder and the center pin on the cutting surface .
2 . Move the Julienne blade dial from “Safe” position to the desired
thick or thin julienne (refer to Cutting Options on page 5) . Turn the
Ribbon blade dial marked “Cut” out of safe mode, into the cut
mode, where the blade will be visible .
3 . Position one of the flat ends of the food on the center pin of the
cutting surface . Apply enough pressure to stabilize the food item
on the center pin .
4 . The center pin keeps your food in place while you adjust the shaft
and position the Cuisinart Food Spiralizer’s food holder so it is
centered over the food item . As you turn the protective cover
clockwise, the teeth of the holder will grip the food, holding it
securely . Turn clockwise until protective cover locks into place .
5 . Your food is now securely held in place between the teeth of the
holder and the center pin on the cutting surface .
6 . To start your Cuisinart Food Spiralizer, rotate the handle clockwise
while applying downward pressure with the palm of your hand .
WARNING
Please remember to set all blades to the SAFE position (no blades or
teeth will be visible on the cutting surface) before unlocking the
collection bowl to retrieve food or before cleaning the unit .
The Cuisinart Food Spiralizer is not recommended for harder foods,
e .g ., butternut squash . Keep food spiralizer blades away from
children .
