- The knob is located at the right side of the mandoline slicer. The knob is also used to adjust the desired thickness.
Adjust the desired thickness - Now hold the food in the food holder and run it over a blade to slice your food.
Run food over a blade - Remove the straight blade and insert the crinkle/ruffle blade into the mandoline for waffle cutting.
Remove the straight blade and insert the crinkle/ruffle blade - If you want to have crinkle waffle cuts, just make sure that the crinkle side of the blade is visible, and if you desire to make ruffle waffle cuts, the ruffle side should be visible.

Run the food onto the blade through the food holder, and each time you run food over the blade, just turn the food holder 90 degrees.
