FAQs
Is this mandoline safe to use?
Yes, but because the blades are extremely sharp, it is recommended to use the provided food guard or a cut-resistant glove while operating.
Can I put the unit in the dishwasher?
While top-rack dishwasher cleaning is possible for some parts, hand-washing is recommended to prevent the blades from dulling.
What is the best way to slice soft tomatoes?
Use a light, swift motion without applying excessive downward pressure to maintain the integrity of the tomato flesh.
Are replacement blades available?
The Vivo 9-in-1 mandoline is designed as a complete set; ensure you store all attachments in a dry, organized space to prevent loss.
Does it work for onions?
Yes, the slicer is excellent for onions, producing thin, uniform rings perfect for sandwiches or salads.
Troubleshooting
Vegetables are getting stuck or dragging
Ensure the blade is inserted fully into the tracks and check that the produce is not too fibrous or oversized for the hopper.
Cuts are uneven
Apply consistent, downward pressure throughout the entire stroke of the vegetable across the blade.
Staining on the plastic housing
Wipe the affected area with a small amount of cooking oil or a paste of baking soda and water to lift stubborn pigment from ingredients like carrots or beets.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Blades are extremely sharp, requiring caution

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your slicer, select the desired blade insert, lock it securely into the base frame, and ensure the food hopper is properly aligned. Always place the unit on a flat, non-slip surface before beginning. For compatibility, this tool is designed for standard-sized vegetables; extremely large items should be sectioned to fit the hopper safely. Regarding care, immediate rinsing after use is recommended to prevent food acids from staining the plastic. Although some components may be dishwasher safe, hand-washing with a non-abrasive brush is strongly advised to maintain the longevity and sharpness of the stainless steel edges.
