The straight v-blade and crinkle v-blade is stored in the under deck storage of the bottom runway, whereas the julienne and french fries blades are stored in the under deck bottom of the top runway.

Changing Straight with Crinkle V-Blades

  • If you want to change it to the straight v-blade with a crinkle v-blade, the first thing you have to do is to remove straight v-blade by pinching it on the side tabs and then pulling it out from the mandoline body.
  • After that, flip the dial button to unlock the position and open the bottom runway. There you will find the crinkle v-blade. Its side tabs will pinch it to release it from under-deck storage.

  • Just slide the ends of the julienne blade in the place where you pull out the slicing insert, then press it down until it holds the position.
  • In the last, flip down the bottom runway. You are ready to go for julienne slices.
  • If you want to change the French fries blade, just repeat the same procedure.
