2 Holding by the centre grip , place the disc onto the

drive shaft with the appropriate side uppermost .

3 Fit the lid.
4 Choose which size feed tube you want to use. The

pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing
individual items or thin ingredients.
To use the small feed tube - first put the large
pusher inside the feed tube.
To use the large feed tube - use both pushers
together.

5 Put the food in the feed tube.
6 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher -

never put your fingers in the feed tube.

hints

●

Use fresh ingredients

●

Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This
prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively use
the small feed tube.

●

When using the chipper disc, place ingredients horizontally.

●

When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes out shorter than food
placed horizontally .

●

There will always be a small amount of waste on the plate or in the bowl after
processing.
