Mine didn't come with instructions, I'm looking at the pictures on Amazon. How are the slices removed?

You detach the handle by the two push-buttons near the top, then turn upside down to let them slide off.

What my husband did to get ours to work-- you cut off the top of the pineapple, a good portion of it- so that it's flat and smooth. Then you put the corer down the middle and twist, while you're twisting the pineapple wraps around the corer.

Mine didn't come with instructions either. I watched a video on youtube. The way I remove the slices is to use a knife to cut down the side in two places, then you can pull the pieces off. Also, if you want the pineapple to remain intact, you can remove the handle (the black plastic part) by pushing in those buttons on each side... but personally, I'm going to cut up the pineapple anyway, and that handle was kind of hard to put on there in the first place, so I don't really want to have to do it again.

take off the handle on the top and upside down the pineapples will come down

I watched a u-tube video and found out that I was also doing it wrong. Cut off the top only, before you get to the bottom of the pineapple, pull out the corer and you will have rings that will slide off easily.

1 - Adjust the guide for the thickness you want 2 - Put the item to be sliced on the movable carrier 3 - Turn the slicer on 4 - push carrier with item to be sliced past the blade 5 - pull carrier with item to be sliced back to starting position 6 - Slide item to be sliced back against the guide repeat steps 4 thru 6 as needed to slice as much as you require Turn slicer off and unplug slicer. Be very cautious of the spinning blade. It will do just as good of a job slicing fingers or hands as any other item you may wish to slice. When you are finished slicing you can disassemble the slicer to clean it.

It's not ver difficult to clear at all. But just like any slicer it does take a bit of time. After the first couple of times it now takes me about 10 min to disassemble the slicer, clean the various parts and reassemble.

The slicer doesn't clean as easy as they would lead you to think. You have to take the slicer apart to really clean it. I bought a steam cleaner to help clean it on a regular basis. I take it apart every 2-3 times I us it. Just take your time and becareful.

The S blade, right? It should pull straight up/off just like slicing disc. If you grab the black plastic and just pull it straight up, it should come off without much trouble.

What kind of veggies?? Did you take the protective tape off blade and are the blades in correctly?? There are 3 different blades to how you want the veggies. The veggies should be firm so they cut better. I have not had problem with mine and I am not sure what or how you are doing this just guessing!! I hope this helps I do enjoy my slicer and have not had problems..

Hi Bonnie, if you look at the cutter with the blade and screw side towards you you can see a clear tab above the screw. Make sure your blade is closed, remove the screw turning counter clockwise and then the clear tab can be seen right underneath the screw hole. You push the tab towards the area where the blade opens. I wanted to send you a picture of the instructions but I can't attach it. If you want to you can email me at terryr915@yahoo.com. Terry

It really doesn't need to be removed; I do remove it most of the time just so it does not get caught in my teeth when I bite into it. The easiest way is to make a shallow cut the length on the piece you are going to use and then just pull it back; it pulls very easily. The chorizo by the way is great, it is the same you find in the supermarkets in Spain.

No, the actual slicing part is not remove able. Only the black plastic handle comes off.

Just slices, but you can make such paper thin slices that they can be used in place of shredded in a lot of recipes. It really is a great tool to have.

You have to take the blade off first, carefully. Then by using a screwdriver from the back take out a few screws that are holding pieces that need to be cleaned. Remember what goes where, and how you got it apart. I had to figure it out by trial and error. Probably will be easy if I do it often enough, but I only use mine once in a while. It is a nice slicer. My first attempt was chicken breasts - unfrozen. I made a mess, so I had to learn how to take it apart and clean it!

Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth. Once you've cut the ends off the potato, slice the potato from end to end with a knife, approximately 1/3 the width of the potato - you don't need to go 1/2 way, 1/3 is fine - then, as you push and turn the handle each slice will come out with a hole out of the center and a cut from the center to the outside edge. Otherwise...For plain ol' sliced potatoes you'll need to use a sharp knife. I usually slice off a lil' bit of the side of the potato so I have a nice flat surface on the cutting board to help me hold it securely as I cut the slices Use the plain blade, the one without any shredding teeth.

I got thin slices also, my husband got thicker ones. He says you need to put more pressure pushing down as you are turning it. Good luck! Sabrina

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left &#128556;

I pried them apart with a dull paring knife. It's tricky, but it can be done.

I have not seen a video, however I just lock in the slicer I want (ripple, slice, shred,etc) and press the fruit or vegetable against the cone I have selected and start turning the wheel. The finished, sliced or shredded material will gather in the inside of the cone, falling out onto your plate or bowl. Very simple.
