HELPFUL TIPS WHEN SLICING, SHREDDING OR GRATING
• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the food processor, cut a thin slice from
the bottom so food will be more stable. Place the food cut side down into the feed chute.
• Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute; place
them vertically in the feed chute so that they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• A few large pieces of food may remain on top of the disc after slicing or shredding. If
desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture.
• Soft and semi hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding. For best results with
soft cheeses such as mozzarella, freeze 15-20 minutes before processing. Cut to fit feed
chute and process using even pressure.
• To slice uncooked meat, cut or roll food to fit the feed chute. Remove all visible fat. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the touch but not solidly frozen, 30 minutes to 2 hours
depending on the thickness of the food. Check that you can still pierce the food with the
tip of a sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly and process using even pressure.
• To slice cooked meat, including salami and pepperoni, food should be very cold. Cut in
pieces to fit the feed chute and process food using firm, even pressure.
• Remove the disc before removing the workbowl from the food processor.
USING THE S BLADE IN THE LARGE WORKBOWL
1. Lock the large workbowl into place on base.
2. Carefully attach the S blade to the blade shaft. When the S blade
gets to the bottom of the blade shaft, turn clockwise to lock (J).
You will feel it lock into place.
Note: If the blade does not fit all the way to the bottom of the blade shaft, it is upside down.
Remove the blade and turn it bottom side up to fit correctly.
3. Place the S blade and the blade shaft onto the centre post in the workbowl.
Note: The blade attachments are very sharp. Use caution when handling and storing.
4. Place the food in the workbowl.
5. Place the lid onto workbowl and lock into place by rotating the lid counterclockwise.
6. Make sure the large and small food pushers are securely in place in the feed chute. Never
use your fingers to direct foods through the feed chute.
7. Press the desired speed button to process.
8. To add food or liquid while the unit is running, remove small food pusher and insert through
the feed chute. Then place the small food pusher in the feed chute.
9. When finished, press the OFF|PULSE button and allow the blades to stop revolving before
removing the lid. Twist lid clockwise to remove from the workbowl.
