CAUTION Cut Hazard. The cutting plates are sharp. Use care when handling. The use of cut-resistant gloves is recommended when handling the cutting plates.

1. Remove French fry cutter from packaging and verify that you have received all of the parts.

2. Remove protective poly bag covering shield.

3. Insert the shield into the French fry cutter body. NOTE: Be certain that the shield is positioned in the notches and pushed all the way down so that it sits on top of the cutting plate.

4. Locate the handle, handle bolt, handle washers, and handle nuts.

5. Line up the holes in the handle with the corresponding holes in the handle base of the French fry cutter.

6. Insert the handle bolt through the handle base and handle, then secure using the handle nuts and handle washers.

7. To attach the push rods to the handle, position the push rods on each side of the handle and line up the corresponding holes.

8. Insert the push rod bolt through the push rod and the handle, then secure together using a push rod nut.

9. Make sure the push rod and bolt have a loose fit. If tightened too tightly, the push rod will bind on the handle, making it difficult to move.

CAUTION Cut Hazard. The cutting plates are sharp. Use care when handling. The use of cut-resistant gloves is recommended when handling the cutting plates.

1. Remove the 3 thumb nuts and washers from the cutting plate. NOTE: When removing the last thumb nut, hold onto the cutting plate. Failure to do so may result in the cutting plate falling, causing damage.

2. To remove the push plate, put the handle in the down position and remove the 2 push plate screws from the top of the push plate.

3. Once the push plate screws are removed, raise the handle and remove the push plate.

4. Replace the push plate and secure with 2 push plate screws.

5. Replace the cutting plate and secure with the 3 thumb nuts and washers. NOTE: The cutting plate needs to be facing inward. The dull portion of the blades should be facing outward.

Make sure the French fry cutter is mounted to a solid surface. DO NOT mount to drywall that has no structural support behind it. The WESTON 36-3550-W French fry cutter needs to be mounted to the studs of the wall or any solid surface.

When mounting the French fry cutter, position it at a distance from the floor that is a comfortable height and will provide the best leverage for cutting a potato.

Mount the French fry cutter through the mounting holes on the 4 feet using appropriately sized bolts (not included).

To mount your WESTON 36-3550-W French fry cutter on a tabletop or stand, simply set the French fry cutter down on its legs and secure to the work surface using appropriately sized screws (not included).

NOTE: Even though horizontal mounting is an option, it is recommended to mount the French fry cutter vertically on a structurally supported wall. More leverage can be applied when mounted vertically than can be applied when mounted horizontally.

To install the suction cup feet to your WESTON 36-3550-W French fry cutter, place the bolt of each suction cup through the holes in the feet of the French fry cutter. Thread the nut onto each bolt tightly. Press firmly down on the French fry cutter to create suction between the work surface and the suction cup feet. Suction cups work best on a smooth, clean horizontal surface. To create more of a suction, a damp cloth can be swiped across the suction cup prior to adhering. Be certain to check the stability of the French fry cutter to the work surface prior to use.

NOTE: The suction cups are not meant to be used for vertical mounting. Use the suction cups for horizontal mounting only.

CAUTION Cut Hazard. The cutting plates are sharp. Do not hold items to be cut while pushing down on the handle.

1. Raise the handle of the French fry cutter so that the push plate is away from the cutting plate.

2. Insert a potato into the cutter length-wise (standing on end) and slowly lower the handle until the potato is held securely between the push plate and cutting plate.

3. Push down on the handle and the potato will be forced out through the bottom of the cutting plate.

NOTE: For large potatoes, it is necessary to cut a small, flat edge on the end of the potato. Place the sliced flat end of the potato against the blade and cut. Microwave sweet potatoes or other firm fruits or vegetables for 30 seconds to soften slightly, if necessary.

CAUTION Cut Hazard. The cutting plates are sharp. Use care when handling. The use of cut-resistant gloves is recommended when handling the cutting plates.

It is recommended to thoroughly clean your French fry cutter before and after each use. Clean with hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

1. Remove the 3 thumb nuts and washers from the cutting plate. NOTE: When removing the last thumb nut, hold onto the cutting plate. Failure to do so may result in the cutting plate falling, causing damage.

2. To clean between the blades of the cutting plate, use a long bristle brush to remove debris. DO NOT use your fingers!

3. To remove the push plate, put the handle in the down position and remove the 2 push plate screws from the top of the push plate.

4. Once the push plate screws are removed, raise the handle and remove the push plate.

5. To clean the push plate, remove any remaining debris with a blunt object, such as a butter knife, then thoroughly clean with a long bristle brush.
