USING ATTACHMENTS
CHOPPING BLADE:
The chopping blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. Use for cake and pastry
making, chopping meat, vegetables, nuts, dips, pureeing soups and to also make crumbs
from biscuits and bread.
The length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved. For coarser textures
use the pulse control for short periods.
Hints:
• Cut food such as meat, bread, vegetables into cubes approximately 3/4” (2 cm).
• Before processing, foods should be broken into pieces and added down the feed tube
while the machine is running.
• Take care not to over-process, foods are chopped quickly at any speed.
REVERSIBLE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC:
Use the slicing side for cheese, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber and onions. Use the
shredding side for cheese, carrots, potatoes and foods of similar texture. Use to cut potatoes
for julienne style fries; mix ingredients for salads, garnishes, casseroles and stir fries.
WARNINGS: Never remove the lid until the cutting disc has completely stopped. Handle the
cutting discs with care - they are extremely sharp .
To use the cutting discs:
1. Fit the drive shaft and bowl onto the base unit.
2. Holding by the center grip, place the disc onto the drive shaft with the desired cutting
side facing up.
3. Fit the lid onto bowl and turn to lock.
4. Choose which size feed tube you want to use and put the food into the desired feed
tube. The pushrod contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin
ingredients. To use the small feed tube - first put the large pushrod inside the feed tube.
To use the large feed tube - use both pushrods together.
5. Select desired speed and push down evenly with the pushrod- NEVER PUT YOUR
FINGERS IN THE FEED CHUTE.
