NOTE: The salad chef should not run for more than 30 seconds continuously.
After 30 seconds, allow 1-2 minutes to cool down. If it overheats it will cut out
automatically and reset when sufficiently cool.
CAUTION: If the salad chef stops during continuous shredding or slicing, an
ingredient may be stuck or overloaded within mechanism or cone. Unplug the
appliance, take the cone and the feed chute off the motor base and free the food
from each piece. Return the feed chute and then cone to the motor unit and
continue.
Helpful hints
•
All food slices and shreds better when it is fresh and firm. If ingredients are too
soft, they will clump together and accumulate in and around the cone. If the
ingredients are too hard, the salad chef and cones may be damaged.
•
Semi-soft cheeses should be refrigerated overnight or put in the freezer for at
least 30 minutes before shredding. Hard cheeses should be at room temperature.
All unprocessed cheeses can be shredded successfully with this unit. It is not
recommended that you use soft or processed cheese as it may clog the salad chef.
•
Use lighter pressure on the food pusher for thinner slices and shreds, and firmer
pressure for thicker slices and shreds.
•
Fruits such as strawberries and kiwi should be firm, not overripe to slice. These
fruits can also be put in the freezer for a few minutes before slicing.
•
Certain fruits with a tougher skin, such as apples, should be peeled before slicing
or shredding.
•
Remove skin from thick skinned fruits, such as melon and pineapple.
•
Remove pits from cherries, stones from peaches and nectarines, and seeds from
apples, etc.
•
Some foods can be double processed, for example you can shred carrots and run
them through again for grated carrots. Cheese can be shredded twice to get
grated cheese.
•
Do not be concerned if pieces of food remain on top of the slicing/shredding cone
after you have completed slicing or shredding. This is normal.
•
