How can I change the drums?
Turn the front ring of the plastic vegetable grater clockwise until it stops. You can then remove the front ring and take the drum out of the housing. Installing the drum is done in reverse order. The outlet of the front ring must point downwards.
How can I clean my vegetable cutter?
Basically, all parts of the vegetable grater are dishwasher safe. However, we recommend washing the drums by hand to preserve the cutting edges’ function and sharpness.
My plastic vegetable cutter has turned orange after processing carrots – what can I do?
If your vegetable cutter has stained after grating carrots or tomatoes, first rinse it under water. Then apply some cooking oil (e.g., rapeseed or sunflower oil) to a cloth and rub the plastic part with it. The oil binds the pigments and your vegetable cutter will look like new.
