how do you adjust it? mine comes only w 8 slices...is there another piece for the 16 slices?

No it is all 1 piece, it is all together. Just grab the upper half and bottom half with the other hand, pull down and twist. It should open to 16 slices. Then push up to lock.

Easiest way that I've found to do it is: hold upside-down with a hand on each handle -- keeping your thumbs free. Push the tabs up with your thumbs and rotate the ring counter-clockwise until it stops and the 16 blades appear. Then push tabs down to lock in place. Hope this helps.

Of course it is all one piece. The tabs under the handles are push down to release lock, then turn bottom part left or right for 8 or 16 slices. Then push tabs up to lock. Mine works great!

Push down on tabs under both sides of handles, then turn bottem disk a little until you have sixteen slices. Then push the same tabs up, to lock in place. Then put apple in place and press straight down. You will love this apple corer. I sure do. The apple comes out beautiful. Best ever! CDL

I just started making Pizza's in the oven. I have made 12''. It looks like you can make 2 at the same time.I really like the oven.

Hey Charlie - They have a FAQ for the slicers here: http://chefschoice.com/faqslicers.html No manuals online though - what did you need to know about it?

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.

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

No you can NOT adjust the slicer thickness. However I love my Kitchen King as it grates cheese, hardboiled eggs, onions, green peppers, even small amounts of chicken or roast. I use it all the time. It is more of a chopper than a Food Processor, I think. But, I have 2. Just in case one should break. I have not had one break yet, but I love mine.

The only reason I did not like this particular product is that the blade is not adjustable. I have ised the green plastic Japanese ones in the past and you were able to adjust the thickness of the item you were slicing, not just the shape of the blade. I am a chef and sometimes one size does not fut all in a professional kitchen.

I've found the wires (ordered 5 spares) but, not the feet. If you do find them, please PM me. I'm getting this slicer and I'd *love* to know where to get spare parts.

Hello, no the slice thickness is determined by the depth the cutting blade is set at - and as this is a basic, plastic product, its pre-moulded therefore not adjustable.I trust this helps.

I don't remember if there was an English instruction but it is very easy to use. You just need to adjust the bread thickness by putting the right side panel to your desierable position. "6" means 6 slices bread in one loaf, "8" means 8 slicesd bread in one loaf----.

I adjusted the blade as Sonya suggested and also moved the corer blade by loosening the screw. Once you have the adjustments made, it will be set to use. Made my first apple pie for the fall!

Sorry, I have the same problem. My friend says the only fix is to get a slicer that is serrated.

The slice thickness is about 1/4" or 5mm. It is dependent on the thread pitch on the feed screw and therefore not adjustable.

We put the plastic divider at the point where the size changes and use that as the stop for the bread. Pull the sliced bread out and move the loaf forward against the stop to complete slicing. It is true that you can slice only half a loaf at a time, but we slice 10 to 12 loaves (to make 80 to 100 sandwiches) and find the amount of time "wasted" is minimal. Three of the volunteers who work with us have since purchased this slicer to use at home. I talked to a carpenter friend of mine and he said it would be possible to set up the rods for uniform slice size, but it would involve removing the unwanted rods, reaming out new slots, and gluing the rods back in. He said (I think jokingly) that it would be easier and more cost effective to get 2 or 3 slicers and glue the ends together if moving the loaf was so annoying. We found the best way to get efficient with the slicer was for 2 or 3 people to work together, critiquing each others techniques. For example, I was cutting cross-handed, and simply turning the slicer around so my dominant (right) hand held the knife and my subordinate (left) hand pushed the bread against the backstop more than doubled my speed and cut way down on my frustration, uneven slices, etc.

Best way to eat is slicing it paper thin and serve it wrapped around a slice of cantaloupe- also great for sandwiches. I have a commercial slicer.

Sorry, I can't give you a thumbs up on this one since I never tried to slice ginger. You can try small pieces at a time to see how it works for you. To be perfectly honest with you, I like the Zyliss slicer product, but I wish it were a little bigger. Let me know how you make out!
