FAQs
Can this peeler handle different types of apples?

Is it dishwasher safe?
No, the Dexam Rotary Apple Peeler is not dishwasher safe. It should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.
How do I adjust the blades to peel or core only?
There are typically adjustment screws or mechanisms near the blades. Consult the manual or observe the device for specific adjustment points to control which function (peel, core, slice) is active.
What is the material of the peeler?
The main body of the Dexam Rotary Apple Peeler is made from durable cast iron.
How can I ensure the suction base works best?
Always use on a smooth, clean, and dry non-porous surface. For extra grip, you can slightly dampen the suction cup before pressing it down.
What are the dimensions of the package?
The package dimensions are approximately 10.5cm (Length) x 25.3cm (Height) x 14.2cm (Width).
Troubleshooting
Suction base not holding firmly
Ensure the work surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Moisten the suction cup slightly for better grip. Check the suction cup for any damage or debris.
Peeler not peeling effectively
Ensure the peeling blade is correctly positioned and adjusted close to the apple's skin. Check if the apple is too soft or misshapen. Make sure the crank is being turned at a steady pace.
Corer not removing the core completely
Verify that the coring blade is properly aligned with the apple's center. For apples with larger cores, you may need to manually remove any remaining core pieces.
Difficulty turning the crank
Check for any obstructions or apple debris caught in the mechanism. Ensure the apple is seated correctly on the prongs and aligned with the blades.
