LOADING FRUIT 
With the shaft pulled all the way to the right, you are ready to load fruit.  Note:  For 
best results use only fresh, firm fruit.  Soft fruit will not work as well. 
 
Simply center the top, stem end of an apple or end of a potato, on the fork and firmly 
press it all the way to the base of the fork. 
 
When loading large fruit, you may want to lock back the peeling arm while loading 
the fruit, and then release it before peeling.  To lock back the blade, pull the peeling 
arm back and drop the lock lever down so that it holds the peeling arm away from 
the shaft. 
 
A very large potato may need to be cut in half before loading.  Load the cut end onto 
the fork. 
 
 
PROCESSING FRUIT 
With the desired blades in place and the fruit loaded, crank the handle in a forward 
(clockwise) motion to process the apple or potato. 
 
Continue turning the handle until finished.  Slide the apple spiral from the core.  To 
remove the core, push in the shaft lever and pull the handle to the right.  The core 
will be ejected by the coring slicing blade. 
 
To make the spiral into individual rings, use a knife to slice through one side of the 
apple spiral. 
 
 
THICKER OR THINNER PEEL 
 
To get a thicker peel, loosen the thumb screw on the peeling blade and move the 
blade closer to the shaft to increase the gap between the blade and the head of the 
peeling arm. 
 
To get a thinner peel, loosen the thumb screw on the peeling blade and move the 
blade away from the shaft to decrease the gap between the blade and the head of 
the peeling arm.  Note:  The blade may not peel at all if this gap is much less than ⅛ 
inch.
