D Slicing
n
Use the slicing discs for perfect 2mm or 4mm slices.
n
Set up your chosen slicing disc with the large work bowl and fit the work bowl cover.
n
Turn the machine onto ‘HIGH’.
n
Ensure the pusher accessory is removed, then place the food into the feed tube. For best
results, always pack food evenly into the tube. Ingredients should fit snugly, but not so
tightly that it prevents the pusher accessory from moving.
n
Using the pusher accessory, slowly push the food down the feed tube until it makes
contact with the disc and is sliced.
N.B
The position of the food in the feed tube will determine the shape and size of the
slices. For example, if you insert a whole carrot vertically you will get round slices. To
change the shape and size of the slices change the position of the food in the feed tube.
The type/texture of the food will dictate the amount of pressure required. Use light
pressure for soft foods, medium pressure for medium foods, and firm pressure for harder
foods. Always process with even pressure.
WARNING: Never put fingers into the feed tube; always use the pusher accessory
provided. If food becomes stuck, turn the machine off, unplug from the main electric
supply and dismantle the processor. Do not attempt to remove food whilst the disc
is in operation.

Use the grating/shredding discs for fine or medium shredding/grating.

bowl cover.
