WARNING: Do not insert the plug into a socket or turn on the Potato Rumbler before you have fully assembled it.

  1. Place the base unit on a level, sturdy and dry surface near a socket, with the power button facing you. The appliance should be stable on its suction feet.

  • Switch on the power button and the Potato Rumbler will start rumbling.
  • You can check the progress through the lid. The appliance will take about 1 minute to peel potatoes. Potatoes irregular in shape may take up more space and need a bit longer to peel, but do not allow the potato peeler to run for more than 4 minutes.

NEVER open the appliance when it is in operation.

  • Once you are happy with your peeled potatoes, switch off the power button and switch off and unplug the appliance at the socket.

WARNING: Always wait for the blade to stop rotating completely before removing the lid.

  • Rinse the potatoes, then carefully remove from the bowl and remove any excess peeling or eyelets on the potatoes with a small knife.

HINTS AND TIPS
