The straight v-blade and crinkle v-blade is stored in the under deck storage of the bottom runway, whereas the julienne and french fries blades are stored in the under deck bottom of the top runway.
Changing Straight with Crinkle V-Blades

close the bottom runway - First, slide the tips of the blade into side ramps and then press it down, and the blade will be successfully changed.
- Repeat a similar procedure to exchange the crinkle v-blade with a straight v-blade.
Changing Julienne blades
- The first step is to unlock the dial button and flip down the bottom runway.
- Then hold the tip of the slicing insert and pull it up.
- After that, press the tab at the top of the top runway and flip open it.
- Pull the tab of either julienne or French fries blade, whichever you want to insert, and release it from the under-deck storage of the top runway.
- Close down the top runway, and insert the blade you have released from the under-deck storage, for instance, julienne blade.
- Just slide the ends of the julienne blade in the place where you pull out the slicing insert, then press it down until it holds the position.
- In the last, flip down the bottom runway. You are ready to go for julienne slices.
- If you want to change the French fries blade, just repeat the same procedure.
