C. DOUGH BLADE
Dough Blade Operation
For use with the Large Work Bowl only. To fit the Dough Blade, carefully lower it onto the
shaft and push into place.
Kneading (using Dough Blade or Large Chopping/Mixing Blade) (Fig.5)
• The Chopping/Mixing Blade is ideal for pastry doughs, while the Dough Blade is specifically
designed for kneading yeast doughs.
• The Large Pusher Lock (located on the Work Bowl Cover and marked each side with 'Lock' and
an arrow) is recommended to be in the locked position when kneading dough to avoid it from
moving around — some vibration is still normal. To lock, simply pull the Pusher Lock towards
you, which will prevent the removal of the large feed tube.
D. SLICING/SHREDDING DISCS
Assembly
NOTE: The Slicing and Shredding/Grating Discs can only be used in the Large Work Bowl.
Fit the large work bowl to the base, then lower the Stem Adapter onto the shaft. If using the
Adjustable Slicing Disc, use the rotating hub and indicator markings to select slicing thickness
from 1 to 7 (1, thin slice; 7, thick slice). Using the plastic hub, align and insert the disc over the Stem
Adapter. Ensure the disc is the correct side up with the text visible. The plastic hub may be used
for removal of the disc.
If using the Reversible Shredding Disc, determine whether the fine or coarse side will be used,
and use the plastic hub to twist into position on the Stem Adapter. Ensure the chosen side is
facing upwards with the text visible. The plastic hub may be used for removal of this disc.
Operation (Fig.6)
• The Slicing Disc makes whole slices. It slices fruits, vegetables and cooked meat.
• The Shredding/Grating Disc shreds most firm and hard cheeses. It also shreds vegetables like
potatoes, carrots and courgettes.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing and shredding. The food will dictate the
amount of pressure: Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pressure for medium foods and
firm pressure for harder foods. Always process with even pressure.
• For round fruits or vegetables, slice a thick piece off the base so it sits upright in the feed tube.
Slice to fit tube if necessary.
• For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits
upright in the feed tube.
• When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that it is well chilled.
• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves together and stand them up in the
feed tube. Process with even pressure.
NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing or shredding. Never put your fingers in the feed tube
while unit is running.
