USING THE FEED HOPPER
After the pusher plate is raised, prepared products such as potatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce, cabbage, etc., can
be placed in the large feed hopper.
The feed hopper has one fixed and one detachable partition wall. For highest capacity and best cutting results,
the detachable partition wall should be removed only when necessary because of product size. To remove the
detachable partition wall, unscrew the two black knobs on the outside of the feed hopper. The fixed partition wall
is used as support for round products such as lemons and tomatoes, when producing slices for a cross cut, or
when you want best possible cutting results cutting potato chips (one stack only). For best results, it is advisable
to remove tops and tails from products like lemons, limes or onions and place them in the hopper perpendicular
to the desired cut.
When cutting French fries with the Julienne cutter, position the potatoes at the lower right corner of the large feed
hopper. The potatoes may be stacked to cut several at one time. For consistent results, stack product in the
lower right corner of the feed hopper, one pile only.
USING THE FEED TUBE
Twist the knob to release the catch on the feed tube pusher and pull out to expose the feed tube opening.
The feed tube is used for slicing long, thin-shaped products such as cucumbers or carrots, or to contain small
items like radishes. The machine does not stop when the feed tube pusher is removed; this allows product to
be processed continuously. Always use the feed tube pusher.
CLEANING
WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean the machine immediately after each use. Dismantle all removable parts from the machine and wash them
in warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
Allowing food juices to dry on the machine may cause discoloration. NEVER clean feed hopper, cutting tools
or other aluminum parts in highly alkaline dishwashing solutions or in excessively hot water as this can cause
formation of aluminum oxide (black). DO NOT use steel wool or sharp objects for cleaning machine surfaces
if they become discolored; scratched surfaces become hard to keep clean.
1. Remove feed tube pusher and rinse in lukewarm water. Raise the pusher plate and turn it to the left.
2. Remove the feed hopper and rinse it in lukewarm water.
