SLICING/SHREDDING
1. Fit the spindle to the top of the motor
unit.
2. Lower the workbowl on to the motor
unit, then turn the workbowl
clockwise, to lock it in place.
3. Carefully fit slicing/shredding disc on
top of spindle with appropriate side
up (depending on work to be done).
4. Place cover on workbowl and lock into
place by rotating clockwise.
5. Place food in feed chute.
6. Turn the control dial to LOW (1). Press
lightly but firmly on food pusher to
guide food through processor.
Note:
Heavy pressure on the pusher does
not speed the work; use the pusher only as
a guide. Let the processor do the work.
7. When finished, turn the control dial
to OFF (0).
Important:
Make sure the slicing/
shredding disc has completely stopped
before removing the cover or workbowl
from the processor.
8. Twist workbowl cover counter-
clockwise to remove.
9. Carefully remove the slicing/
shredding disc. Lift the workbowl off
the motor unit.
10. Unplug appliance when not in use.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR
SLICING OR SHREDDING
• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables
through the processor 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, core and pits
before processing
• Select foods that are firm and not over
ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables,
such as cabbage.
• To minimize slender foods, such as carrots
or celery, from falling over in the feed
chute, cut food into several pieces and
pack the feed chute with the food.
• When slicing 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.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should
be well chilled before shredding. For
best results with soft cheeses such as
mozzarella, freeze 15-20 minutes before
processing. Cut to fit feed tube and process
using even pressure.
• To slice cooked meat, including salami
and pepperoni, food should be very cold.
Cut in pieces to fit feed tube and process
food using firm, even pressure.
• Do not let the processed food accumulate
too high (over 2/3 full); stop and empty the
workbowl.
• Remove the slicing/shredding disc
before removing the workbowl from the
processor.
