got this and haven't figured this out yet, how do you use the nori puncher

It's for seaweed to use as a decoration on the rice once you take it out of the mold. The mold is a panda bear head. It's really cute...my grandkids love it!

What you do is insert a sheet of nori into the slot at the bottom and then press down hard on the punch. This should yield a cute panda smile if done right. I had to practice a few times but I got it. Hope this helps.

I couldn't make it work well neither and rice didn't come out from the scoop easily. It's a great idea but doesn't work well. I returned it.

You stick a sheet of nori in and push it just like a hole punch. Then you put rice in the spoon part and mash it down to mold it into a bear head.

Insert the nori all the way to the puncher, then press the black part all the way down. That's all to it. It is exactly same with paper puncher. In fact I use Martha Stewart's paper puncher ( devorative ones) too, to decorate kid's lunch time to time.

The Nori puncher is used with sheet Nori for rolling sushi. You slide the sheet of nori between the puncher top and bottom...slide it until it reaches the back. Then you push down. The steel cutters produce the face. It is easiest to do this on a cutting board. Once the face is punched out, the easiest way to apply is to take the rice panda ball and gently push down onto the nori rather than trying to pick up the nori. Good luck :-)

Use a 1/4 0r 1/8 inch punch depending on what you are punching. I use the 1/4 ch on thick paper to crochet around.

Go to youtube and look up the video, they show you exactly how it works. If yours doesn't work like in the vid, send it back immediately for a refund/exchange.

This is going to sound crazy, but, I found wetting my hands and drying them most of the way then grabbing the dirt holder in both hands and twisting works for me. The dampness of my hands grabs the holder enough to allow me to twist it to get the unlock symbol in the open position. I need 2 hands to twist, while holding the body of the machine between my legs. Its not a good answer, but, its been working. I hope Hoover is reading these comments!

I have found two methods that work for me: 1. finger pinch - usually works for the first filter, but not so well for the second and 2. (my favorite) thick end of a chopstick or a thick bar stir stick. I always have a few chopsticks sets laying around and I found that thicker end will not poke a hole in your filters. Just push it through one of the top holes and it will push both filters far enough out so that you can grab them with your hands. For the hot second of annoyance that you might feel about needing extra equipment, it is so worth it! The double filter is a life and nose saver. Trust me! On a side note: I recommend that you pick up a extra set of round filters for every square/circle replacement pack you buy. The bottom (round filter) will need to be replaced more often then the top (square) filter. If the bottom filter gets wet accidentally (usually happens when I over fill the bin), it will mold and FAST. Top filter stays pretty dry, so you will not have to change it as often. Hope this helps and happy composting!

I had the same complaint and an email to the company got only the same non-instruction sheet that came with it which was no help at all. I am using this (and loving it) the same way as I have every other steam setter: Put water in the cup to the line. Use distilled water only. Flip the switch on the steamer to the first line. Once it starts steaming move the switch to the second line. It should start making a clicking noise. Put one roller on and leave it for 15-30 seconds. Don't leave them on too long or they get soggy and will end up making your hair wet. If the roller is too wet, try shaking out the excess water. Take the roller off and roller up your hair. Put the cover over the roller. You can hold the cover over the steamer for a few seconds but I find it makes a crimp in my hair. I have fine hair that is hard to curl so I leave the rollers in for 20-30 minutes before taking them out. You'll have to see what works for your hair. Some suggestions: Don't use tap water. It will end up ruining the steamer. Don't leave the steamer in the water. Once you are done, turn it off and take the steamer out of the water. I also turn it upside and shake out any excess water. Hope this helps.

I also have this foot pedal and use it with Express Scribe daily. It will not work until you initialize it. You have to go to the pull down menu, Options, and pick Controller and run the controller wizard. It asks you to tap the left center and right pedals and then finish and it works as others say.

I found it to be a bit stiff, Take your thumb and rest it on the top of the most up right punch with your hand around the neck, push forward with your thumb till it moves and keep going till it clicks. FYI push firmly.

I tried that, but found I could cut up to 3-4 sheets of paper with the cutter it came with, making their system faster. I also found that centering the design using a punch yielded uneven results, but that could be the punch I was using. If I am not mistaken, because it's been a while, the punches don't offer any bleed, making the paper a little too short when cut to size. Meaning, the button maker needs a little paper to wrap around so it is caught when the machine fuses the two pieces together. But again, it was a while ago and I don't have the machine handy to check.

Turn the plastic top until the half circle opening lines up with the half circle solid piece then punch out. I use a butter knife to punch it out.

I don't have this particular model, however I add butter to drained potatoes, and use a hand masher for the first step. I then move to the blending attachment to break up into smaller pieces. I then the add the milk, salt & pepper and move to the whip attachment. They are amazing, smooth and light. My blender attachment finally broke after years of use and I made without the blending step. Ugh... buying a new hand blender today!!

Blade spanner that comes with Mixer will be used to pull blade. Hold the bottom black color tightly and insert blade spanner inside to twist.

There were no instructions with mine either. One side is for peeling the other side for julienne. I did get an email regarding cleaning, need a cheap toothbrush to effectively clean the julienne side.

I love these punches because you can flip them upside down to center printed words on paper or stamp art. You simply turn the punch with the opening pointing up, insert the paper, center your image or place in the right location and punch. It's that simple. I know you will love using it.
