USING THE SLICER/SHREDDER
1. Follow the directions on pages 17-19 to assemble the slicer/shredder.

4. Fill feed chute with food; position food pusher over food and use it to guide the
food through the feed chute
(Q)
.
Note:
For narrow foods like celery and carrots, the small food pusher can be
removed from the large pusher; then you can simply feed the smaller items
through a smaller feed chute.
5. Select Low or High speed; 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 Juiceman® Express do the work.
6. When finished, press the Off button and allow disc to stop revolving before
removing the lid. Unplug the appliance. Remove the lid by turning clockwise
and invert it on countertop.
7. To remove the slicer/shredder disc, use one hand
to hold the continuous flow disc while turning the
slicing/shredding disc counterclockwise

. Place
the disc on top of the inverted slicer/shredder lid.
8. Unplug the appliance when not in use.
HINTS AND TIPS FOR YOUR SLICER/SHREDDER
• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the slicer/shredder, cut
a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable. Place food cut side
down in feed chute.
• Always remove seeds, core and pits before slicing/shredding.
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the
feed chute; this will allow the pusher to engage the interlock mechanism
on the processor. Stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly
packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled (not frozen) before
shredding.
• After food has been sliced or shredded, remove the lid and invert on
countertop.
• To take advantage of the speed of your Juiceman® Express, drop foods
through the feed chute with the appliance running.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (like tomatoes) and
slightly more pressure for hard foods (such as onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot
be inserted into the food.
• Do not use the slicer/shredder to slice warm meat and hard cooked eggs;
chill them first.
