SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING
Important: The spindle must be used
with both the adjustable slicer and
the reversible shredder/grater.
Carefully remove the S-blade after pureeing
food and use a spatula to scrape food
adhering to the blade and bowl.
Adjustable slicer
The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even
and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted
to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick
(8.0mm). To adjust the slicing thickness, hold
the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge
with one hand, and turn the adjustment dial
on the underside with the other hand. An
arrow graphic indicates the thickness of the
slice you will get.
Reversible grater and shredder
This disc has an array of small blades on
both sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger
holes face up for courser textured results,
or with the smaller holes facing up for finer
results. The discs are labelled showing which
side faces up.
CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
It is important to position the food in
the chute to gain maximum control and
best results.
Smaller ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots,
cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small feed
chute. This will avoid the ingredient from
tipping over during slicing.
Larger ingredients
The wide feed chute is 5in (13cm) wide, and
can fit ingredients up to this size. The chute
can be packed to fill the width of the chute.
The food should fit snugly so it is supported
in an upright position in the chute, but not
so tight that it could prevent the food from
moving down the chute.
Medium feed chute
Use the medium feed chute for 'in-between'
food processing. The medium feed chute is
2¾ in (7cm) wide, and can fit ingredients up
to this size. The chute can be packed to fill the
width of the chute. The food should fit snugly
so it is supported in an upright position in the
chute, but not so tight that it could prevent
the food from moving down the chute.
Take care not to overfill the chute, as the
pusher will not activate the interlock safety
catch if the chute is too full. Do not fill over
the MAX CHUTE FILL graphic.
Ensure the large pusher is in place before
using the medium pusher.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the discs.
Apply light pressure for soft foods such as
tomatoes and bananas.
Apply medium pressure for firmer foods such
as potatoes and apples.
Apply firm pressure for hard foods such
as parmesan cheese and deli meats
such as salami.
Round fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and
peeling (if necessary).
Small fruit and vegetables should be trimmed
on one end so the food sits flat inside the
feed chute.
Large fruit and vegetables may need to be cut
in half to fit in the chute. Pack the chute from
left to right.
