Peeler not cutting effectively
Ensure the blade is clean and free from debris. Check that the swivel mechanism is moving freely. If performance has degraded significantly over time, consider replacement as blades can dull with extensive use.
Difficulty removing potato eyes
Ensure you are using the dedicated potato-eye remover feature correctly. Apply gentle pressure to hook and remove the eye.
Residue build-up around the blade
Rinse thoroughly after each use. If residue persists, use a small brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently clean around the swivel mechanism and blade area before or after dishwashing.
Peeler feels loose or wobbly
