Helpful Hints
♦ All food slices and shreds better when it is fresh and firm.
♦ Semi-soft cheeses should be refrigerated overnight or placed in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes before shredding. Hard
cheeses should be at room temperature. All unprocessed cheeses can be shredded successfully with this unit.
It is not recommend-
ed that you use soft or processed cheese as it may clog the unit.
♦ Use light pressure on the food guide for thinner slices and shreds, and firm pressure for thicker slices and shreds.
♦ Soft fruits, such as strawberries and kiwi, should be firm, not overripe, to slice. They can also be placed in the freezer for a few
minutes before slicing.
♦ Some foods can be double processed. For instance, using the medium shred cone, you can shred carrots and run them through again
for grated carrots. Cheese can be shredded twice for grated cheese.
♦ Place food upright in the food chamber until it is full. Remember that food should fit easily and loosely into the food chamber and
should not extend above the top of the food chamber. Apply pressure evenly with the food guide.
Failure to properly load the food chamber or to apply even pressure may result in food falling over in the food chamber. If food
falls over in the chamber, slices and shreds may be uneven.
♦ It is normal for bits of food to remain on the top of the slicing or shredding cone after you have completed processing.
♦ The unit is not designed to shred onions, slice cheese or chocolate, or process meats and tomatoes.

NOTICE:
The slicer/shredder should not be used to chop ice or grind coffee beans. Doing this may damage the unit.
Questions and Answers
Sometimes I have trouble disengaging the food chamber from the motorized base. What am I doing wrong?
You probably forgot to turn the unit off. The unit is designed with a safety feature which prevents the food chamber from being re-
moved when the fingertip power switch is in the ON position.
How come I sometimes have to use a lot of pressure to get food out of the slicing/shredding chute or no food comes out at all?
Any of the following may be occurring:
1. You have packed the food chamber too tightly. Foods should be cut to fit loosely in the food chamber.
2. The food is not fresh and firm. All food slices and shreds better when it is fresh and firm.
3. Pieces of the food being processed may have wrapped around the slicing or shredding cone during processing or may have become
wedged in the cone. This would prevent food from coming out. If this occurs, simply disconnect the unit from the outlet, remove
the slicing or shredding cone, and clean out the buildup of food.
