Care and Cleaning
Before using for the first time and after each use, your slicer-shredder should be cleaned thoroughly. All parts, except the motor-
ized base, are completely immersible and dishwasher safe. Wash these parts in warm, sudsy 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 positioned so they will not
fall through the rack. The motorized base may be cleaned with a damp cloth. When removing the food chamber from the motorized
base, be sure the power switch is off and the unit is unplugged (the food chamber cannot be removed with the switch in the ON
position).
Never immerse the motorized base in water or any other liquid.
Note:
Plastic parts may become stained after processing certain foods such as carrots. Should the unit become stained, pour a small
amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe the stained area. For best results, do this as soon as a stain is noticed.

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 recommended 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.
Certain soft fruits such as strawberries and kiwi should be firm not overripe to slice. These types of fruits can also
be placed in a freezer for a few minutes before slicing.
Some foods can be double processed; for instance, you can shred carrots and run them through again for grated
carrots. Cheese can be shredded twice for grated cheese.
Place the food upright in the food chamber until it is full and apply pressure evenly with the food guide. Failure to
properly load the food chamber or to apply even pressure may result in the food falling over in the food chamber.
This will result in uneven slices.
It is normal for bits of food to remain on top of the slicing/shredding cone after you have completed slicing or
shredding.
The unit is not designed to shred onions or oranges, slice cheese or chocolate, or process meats and tomatoes.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, do not attempt to slice foods that are too hard to be cut with an
ordinary knife. This slicer/shredder was not designed to chop ice or grind coffee beans. You may damage the unit.
Plastic parts may become stained after processing certain foods such as carrots. Should the unit become stained,
pour a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe the stained area. For best results, do this as soon as
a stain is noticed.
