4. You may be slicing or shredding a hard vegetable, such as a sweet potato, or shredding cheese. Hard vegetables and cheese may re-
quire more pressure on the food guide. Sometimes when slicing or shredding hard vegetables or when shredding cheese, the motor
may sound as if it is laboring. This is normal.
Care and Cleaning
Before using for the first time and after each subsequent use, your slicer/shredder should be cleaned thoroughly.
Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the unit is unplugged before removing the food chamber from the motorized base;
the food chamber cannot be removed with the power switch in the ON position.
All parts, except the motorized base, are completely immersible and dishwasher safe. Wash these parts in warm, soapy water; rinse
and dry. If washing in the dishwasher, use the top rack or the rack farthest away from the heating element. Be sure the parts are posi-
tioned so they will not fall through the rack.
The motorized base may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Never immerse the motorized base in water or any other liquid.
NOTE:
The slicing/shredding chute and cones may become stained after processing certain foods such as carrots. Should the parts
become stained, wipe them with a paper towel containing a small amount of vegetable oil. Wash, rinse, and dry.
For convenient storage, tightly wrap the cord around the top and bottom of the base handle. The unit can be placed in a small space,
such as a drawer.
