AUTO-SPIRALIZER
WHEN SPIRALIZING
Having trouble getting long strands? Is it
just shredding or creating semicircles?
Make sure the food is centered on the
Blade Disc pin.
Is ingredient not fully processing and just
spinning on the pusher?
Remove remaining ingredient from Blade Disc pin and retrim ends to be even. Make sure you center your ingredient
on the Blade Disc pin.
Can I spiralize continuously?
No, make sure you remove the ingredients from the bowl
and the small amount of leftover ingredient from your
Blade Disc before spiralizing another ingredient.
PREPPING/COOKING
Why are my noodles broken and not long noodles?
If the Collecting Bowl is overfilled, causing the Blade Disc
to lift up after Spiralizing, your ingredient may have been
too large. Make sure to trim and prepare your ingredients
properly before Spiralizing by following the instructions in
the Food Prep section.
Why are my noodles watery?
To avoid watery noodles, pat them dry with a paper
towel after spiralizing. You can also release excess water
from the noodles by salting them and letting sit for 2 to 3
minutes.
CHOOSING YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Cannot find a wide enough carrot?
Look at carrots that are sold individually rather than in a
bag.
Results will vary.
No 2 fruits/vegetables are the same. For best results, be
sure to select fresh, firm, and symmetrical ingredients.
FOR BEST RESULTS, PREPARE YOUR
INGREDIENTS BEFORE SPIRALIZING
