Designed for firm produce like zucchini, carrots, and radishes up to 6cm in diameter, it features Japanese stainless steel blades that provide two distinct cutting widths. While it is highly efficient and dishwasher-safe, users should note it is primarily suited for firm vegetables and may struggle with soft or very large produce.

FAQs
What is the maximum diameter vegetable I can use?
The Spirelli 2.0 is designed for vegetables up to 6cm in diameter.
Can I use this for sweet potatoes?
Yes, but ensure the sweet potato is not wider than 6cm. Because sweet potatoes are very dense, apply consistent pressure while twisting.
How do I change the size of the spirals?
The Spirelli 2.0 features two integrated blade sizes within the cone, allowing you to produce either 2 x 3 mm or 3.5 x 5 mm spirals depending on which side of the guide you utilize.
Is the finger guard mandatory?
While you can start without it, the finger guard is highly recommended for safety and to ensure you can use as much of the vegetable as possible without risking injury.
How do I remove the blade for cleaning?
The slicer is designed with a removable blade system for thorough cleaning. Refer to the housing clips to release the insert.
Is this product BPA-free?
Yes, the high-grade plastic used in the Gefu Spirelli 2.0 is food-safe and designed for kitchen utility.
Troubleshooting
Vegetable is not catching on the blades
Ensure the vegetable is firm and centered before you begin turning. If the vegetable is too soft or irregular, try trimming the end to create a flat surface.
Spirals are breaking apart
Check that the vegetable is fresh and firm. Avoid using produce that is wilted, as it will lack the structural integrity required for clean spirals.
Blade seems dull after extended use
Thoroughly clean the blades to remove starch buildup, which can mimic the feeling of a dull blade. Ensure no debris is trapped in the cutting slots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Spirelli 2.0 arrives ready to use. Simply ensure the removable blade insert is properly seated before inserting your produce. Always attach the finger guard once the vegetable is short enough that your hands get close to the blades.
Compatibility: This slicer is compatible with most firm vegetables, including courgettes, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, potatoes, and beetroots, provided they measure 6cm or less in diameter.
Care: To clean, rinse the unit under running water immediately after use to prevent vegetable debris from drying on the blades. The entire unit is dishwasher-safe; however, placing it on the top rack is recommended to preserve the integrity of the plastic housing.
