using the cutting discs
1 Remove the medium speed outlet cover by lifting off.
2 Place the drive shaft onto the outlet.
3 Fit the bowl over the drive shaft with the handle above
the on/off and speed switch and turn clockwise until it
locks into position.
4 Place the cutting disc onto the drive shaft. Your
chosen cutting side must be uppermost. Handle
the cutting discs with care - they are
extremely sharp. Hold the discs by the
centre grip.
5 Fit the lid, feed tube above the speed switch and turn
clockwise ensuring that the tab on the lid slots into
the groove in the bowl handle. When correctly fitted
the markings should align
.
l
The attachment will not operate if it is
incorrectly assembled or incorrectly fitted
to the kitchen machine or if the high speed
outlet cover is not fitted.
6 Choose which 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
l
First put the large pusher inside the feed tube.
to use the large feed tube
l
Use both pushers together.
7 Put the food into the feed tube.
8 Switch on and push down evenly with the pusher -
never put your fingers in the feed tube. We
recommend a medium speed for processing soft
foods such as cucumber and a medium/high speed
for processing firmer foods such as carrots and hard
cheese.
l
When slicing/shredding or rasping don’t let
the bowl fill up as far as the cutting disc:
empty it regularly.
l
Do not exceed the ‘MAX’ capacity level on
the bowl.
9 Switch off and unplug.
10 Remove the attachment.
11 Refit the medium speed outlet cover after use.
hints
l
Use fresh ingredients.
l
Don’t cut food up 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.
l
When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes
out shorter than food placed horizontally.
l
After using a cutting disc there will always be a small
amount of waste on the disc or in the food.
care and cleaning
l
Always switch off and unplug before removing the
attachment from the kitchen machine.
l
Dismantle the attachment fully before cleaning.
bowl, lid and attachments
l
Wash by hand then dry. Take care as the blades and
cutting discs are sharp.
