Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water and dry completely.
- Place the unit on a flat, stable, and non-slip surface before you begin.
- Unfold the legs until they lock securely into position.
- Use the BRON height adjustment lever to Select your desired slice thickness. Always do a test slice on a spare piece of vegetable first.
Keeping It Going
- Always, always use the included safety pusher. The blade is exceptionally sharp.
- Clean the mandoline immediately after use to prevent food from drying on it.
- Hand wash only. Dishwashers can damage the blade's sharp edge and are not recommended.
- When cleaning, use a brush and be mindful of the blade. Never wipe towards the cutting edge.
- Store it in its folded position to protect the blade and save space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of a Japanese-style mandoline?
A: Japanese mandolines are typically known for their incredibly sharp, single straight blade, which provides an exceptionally clean and precise cut, ideal for presentation-focused dishes and delicate vegetables.
Q: Can this slice soft foods like ripe tomatoes?
A: Yes, the ultra-sharp blade is designed to slice through soft-skinned items like tomatoes and bell peppers cleanly without squashing them.
Q: How do I adjust the slice thickness?
A: This model uses the BRON height adjustment system, which typically involves a simple lever or dial on the side of the unit to raise or lower the platform, setting the thickness precisely.
Q: Is the blade replaceable?
A: On high-quality professional models like this, blades are often designed for longevity but can be replaced or professionally sharpened. Please check the user manual for specific details.
Q: Is the stainless steel vegetable slicer dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend hand washing only. The high temperatures and harsh detergents in a commercial dishwasher can dull the fine edge of the blade over time.
Q: What does the 'honeycombed' blade do?
A: The honeycombed texture creates small air pockets, reducing surface friction and preventing wet or starchy foods like potatoes and cucumbers from sticking to the blade during slicing.
Q: How stable is it during use?
A: It's very stable. The combination of the non-slip pad and the sturdy, foldable non-slip legs ensures it stays securely in place on your work surface.
Q: Does it come with any other blades or attachments?
A: This model is a dedicated slicer, focused on providing the best possible straight slice. It does not come with julienne or crinkle-cut blades.
The Tellier Difference: An Investment in Consistency
When you choose Louis Tellier, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a legacy of French culinary engineering that dates back to 1947. This isn't a flimsy gadget destined for the back of a cupboard. The HS500 is a professional tool, built with the understanding that in a commercial kitchen, consistency is currency. Every identical slice produced by this machine means better portion control, reduced food waste, and a more professional-looking final dish. This long-term reliability translates directly to your bottom line. It's designed to withstand the rigours of a busy service, day in and day out, delivering the same precise results that chefs have trusted the Tellier name to provide for decades.
Explore more from TellierHow the Honeycombed Blade Prevents Sticking
Ever tried to quickly slice a cucumber or a juicy tomato, only for it to cling to the blade and tear? The honeycombed pattern on the Louis Tellier HS500 blade is designed to solve exactly that. It’s not just for looks; the small indentations create tiny air pockets between the blade and the surface of the food.
Think of it like trying to slide two wet panes of glass apart – they stick together because of surface tension. The honeycombed texture breaks that tension, allowing the food to release cleanly from the blade with every pass. This means you get a faster, smoother slicing motion and a perfect, clean-cut slice, rather than a ragged, sticky mess. It's a small detail that makes a huge difference to your speed and the quality of your finish.
