USING THE APPLIANCE
Cutting and grating operations involve food being inserted into the feed channel and
that the food be pushed in the direction of the blade using the pusher, keeping the
appliance rotating by holding down the start button. It is advisable to place a container
in front of the appliance below the blade to collect the chopped product. The food must
first be divided into blocks of a size compatible with the mouth of the feed channel, to
facilitate operation and avoid subjecting the motor to excessive stress.
This operation can be repeated until the food to be treated runs out, avoiding exceeding
two minutes of continuous operation. After this period, ensure a break of at least five
minutes to allow adequate cooling of the motor and mechanical parts.
At the end of this operation, disconnect the power cable, disassemble the appliance and
perform adequate cleaning as described in the following chapter, within a reasonably
short time.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS:
Seasoned cheeses must be divided into small blocks, the largest of which must
not exceed 3 cm.
More mature cheeses usually guarantee a better result, since the lower
moisture allows the creation of smaller and lighter flakes.
Cylindrical vegetables (carrots, courgettes and cucumbers) can be inserted
vertically to obtain more regularly shaped slices if treated with slicing blades.
To use the pusher effectively, cylindrical vegetables can be cut to a length no
greater than that of the feed channel.
For better results, pressure on the pusher must be moderate and constant:
excessive pressure can damage the food material and cause poor results.
A slowdown in rotation, even if it is significant, is not necessarily indicative of
incorrect appliance operation: the chopping operation is mainly based on the
torque developed by the motor rather than on its speed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The product does not require maintenance, or rather the replacement of consumable
parts or scheduled overhaul. As a rule, it is sufficient to clean the blade tips and the feed
channels at regular intervals using common dish soap applied with a sponge and
adequate rinsing. All cleaning must absolutely be carried out with the power cord
disconnected and, before reconnecting, you must ensure that all parts are completely
