the disc with the desired side up (small holes
for fine grating and large holes for coarse
shredding) and place disc onto blade shaft in
processing basin. (O) You may need to rotate
disc slightly until it fits onto shaft.
4. Place lid on processing basin and lock into place
by rotating counterclockwise.
5. Place food in feed chute and use food pusher to
guide foods towards shredding/grating disc.
6. Turn appliance on; press firmly, but do not force, food pusher to guide
food through the shredding/grating disc.
Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher
only as a guide. Let the appliance do the work.
7. When finished, turn the appliance off and allow the disc to stop revolving
completely. Unplug the appliance and remove the lid.

• Before shredding or grating round fruits and vegetables with the
appliance, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable.
Place food cut side down in the feed chute.
• Always remove seeds, cores and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When shredding thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of
the feed chute; stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly
packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• A few large pieces of food may remain on top of the disc after shredding
or grating. If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.
• Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding. For
best results with soft cheeses such as mozzarella, freeze 10–15 minutes
before processing to firm the cheese. Cut to fit feed tube and process
using even pressure.
