HOW TO USE YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR (cont.)
Slicing/Shredding:
CAUTION: To avoid a cutting hazard, always use extreme care when handling the
slicing/shredding disc at it is sharp.
1.
Correctly position the bowl onto the base (see steps 1
and 2 in the “Chopping” section above). Do not insert the
chopping tower blade into the bowl.
2.
Place the disc shaft onto the motor shaft inside the
bowl, round side down. (Figure 4)
3.
Place the slicing/shredding disc onto the disc shaft.
For slicing, place the disc onto the disc shaft with the
slicing blade face up. The lip of the disc will also be
facing up. For shredding, place the disc onto the disc
shaft with the slicing blade facing down and the
shredding teeth facing up. (Figure 4)
4.
Attach the cover as described in step 4 of the
“Chopping” section ensuring that the small metal
peg on the underside of the cover aligns with the
hole in the center of the slicing/shredding disc.
WARNING: The locking cover is a safety feature that allows the product to operate
only when the cover is properly locked into place. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the locking cover.
5.
Cut vegetables (e.g., zucchini, potatoes, carrots) small enough to fit into the feeding
chute.
NOTE: If the food pieces are too large, never force them into the feeding chute; cut
into smaller pieces until they fit.
6.
Rotate the control knob to the PULSE/LOW/HIGH position to begin. Rotate the
control knob back to the OFF position to stop.
7.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the slicing and shredding disc has completely stopped
spinning before removing cover from processing bowl.
IMPORTANT: Unlock lid first before removing bowl.
8.
Unplug appliance when not in use.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING AND SHREDDING
•
Before slicing fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom
of the food to make it flat.
•
Place the food cut side down in feed chute.
•
Remove seeds and pits before processing.
•
Select foods that are firm and not overripe.
•
Remove the core from hard vegetables such as cabbage.
•
When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute
and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn
or tilt.
•
Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
•
Chill soft and semi-hard cheeses before shredding.
•
After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove
the slicing and shredding disc before removing the bowl from the processor. Place
the disc on top of the inverted bowl cover.
