Before Your First Use
Using Your Robert Irvine Mandoline Slicer
About Robert Irvine
Selecting Your Blade
Carefully hand wash the mandoline slicer in warm water using a mild dishwashing
soap and a soft sponge or nylon pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Use extreme caution
as the blades are extremely sharp.
Straight and Julienne Blades:
Unfold the stand (A) so that it is in the
upright position. Figure 1.
Select your desired blade by pulling and
rotating the blade adjustment knob (D).
You will hear a click indicating the blade is
in the locked position. Turn the thickness
adjustment knob (C) to achieve your
desired thickness. Figure 2.
Turn the guide plate (E) to the OFF
position by aligning the notch on the
guide plate lock (F) with the OFF setting.
Figure 3A.
For added convenience, there is a knob on
the reverse side of the mandoline which
indicates the setting. Please note that this
knob is only for identification purposes
and is not operational. Figure 3B.

Straight Blade:
Ideal for cutting a variety of fruits and
vegetables including carrots, cucumbers,
potatoes, peppers, apples, lemons
and even hard cheese. Slice length or
widthwise. Blade width can be adjusted
to cut 1/4" thick to paper thin slices.
Julienne Blades:
The Julienne blades are used for cutting
fine to medium strips of fruits and
vegetables such as potatoes, carrots,
zucchini, etc. Ideal for everything from
French fries, to slaws, to vegetable sticks.
Choose from two blade sizes: 1/4" and
1/2" (please note sizes are approximate).
Thickness of the strips can be adjusted to
create shoestring like strands.
Dicing Function:
The hand guard/pusher (H) features a
special rotating mechanism. When used
in conjunction with the julienne blades
it produces uniform square or diamond
cubes. Perfect for chopping vegetables
for soups, casseroles, salads and more.
Best of all dicing vegetables speeds
up cooking times and gives food a
professional appearance.
Adjusting the Thickness
The cutting platform (B) moves up and down allowing you to adjust the thickness
of your slices/strips from paper thin to 1/4" thick. This is done by turning the
thickness adjustment knob (C). Turn the knob clockwise for thicker slices and
counterclockwise for thinner slices.
