Knife Blade Attachment
The knife blade attachment is the most versatile of all the attachments. The food
texture achieved is determined by the processing duration. For coarser textures, use
the PULSE function and regularly check the consistency to avoid over-processing foods.
The knife blade attachment can be used to process various foods, including:
•
Raw meat: Make 'mince' by trimming raw meat of any excess fat and cutting
into cubes up to ¾-inch in size. Place the pieces into the bowl and operate for
approximately 10 seconds or until the desired texture is achieved. The longer the
food processor runs, the smoother the texture will be.
•
Cooked meat: Follow the instructions for raw meat, but use a shorter time to
process the meat.
•
Vegetables: Cut the vegetables into smaller pieces up to ¾-inch cubes. Process
foods with similar texture together (e.g., harder vegetables like carrots and
potatoes or softer vegetables like mushrooms, tomatoes or cooked vegetables).

Reversible Plate Attachment
•
Slicing Plate: Use the slicing plate for foods like cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage,
cucumber and onions.
•
Shredding Plate: Use the shredding plate to grate cheese, carrots, potatoes and
foods of similar texture.
Helpful Tip: Shred hard cheese (e.g., parmesan) at room temperature. If you are shredding
softer cheeses (e.g., mozzarella) place the cheese in the freezer for approximately 10
to 15 minutes before shredding. Ensure the shredding plate is secured onto the plate
carrier and the power base is running before inserting the food to be shredded into the
feeder tube.

Feed Tube with Food Pusher
The food pusher is used together with the reversible plate attachment to shred or
slice food via the feed tube. ALWAYS use the food pusher to gently guide food down
the feed tube to safely facilitate the processing of food. Press firmly and evenly on the
food pusher, but DO NOT force it down the feed tube. NEvER use your fingers or other
utensils to push food down through the feed tube.
Helpful Tip: Use fresh ingredients and cut the food into smaller pieces to comfortably
