BASIC FOOD PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
Do not overfill the feed chute before slicing.
The pusher will not activate the unit if the
chute is overfilled. A MAX level graphic
indicates the maximum fill level.
WARNING
Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp,
keep hands away from the blade.
NOTE
Placing items to the far left in the
large feed chute provides stability and
helps to make more accurate slices.
Shredding and Grating with the
Reversible Shredding Disc
NOTE
Use adjustable Slicing Disc with Disc
Spindle.
Both thick and thin grating can be achieved
by using the coarse/fine shredding disc. Use
one side of the disc for coarse shredding and
the other side for fine shredding. Carefully
turn over the disc so that the process
required is facing upwards.
Slicing and shredding
1. Place the desired cutting disc onto the
disc spindle in the processing bowl.
2. Prepare food as directed in the following
food categories or recipes.
3. Pack food into the feed chute as directed
in the following food categories. For
smaller size food leave the large pusher
in place and use the small pusher
instead. The food should fit snugly so it
is supported upright in the feed chute,
but not so tight that it prevents the food
from easily moving down the feed chute
when guided by the food pusher.
4. Process using the START/PAUSE button
while at same time, gently guiding the
food down the feed chute using the food
pusher. Never force the food down as
this will damage the discs. Apply light
pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes
and bananas; medium pressure for firmer
foods such as potatoes and apples; and
firm pressure for hard foods such as deli
meats and salami.
