Using the Saladmaster Machine
This precision engineered, superbly constructed kitchen utensil is a handy,
simple-to-use machine allowing you to slice and grate all types of foods
including vegetables, fruits, nuts, crackers, cheese, hard sausage, shrimp and
various meats.
Easy to turn, this manually operated food cutter allows you to have complete
control over the speed of the device and the size of the processed pieces of
food. It features a heavily chrome plated base and hopper, guaranteed not to
chip, peel or pit under normal conditions. The five cutting cones are constructed
of stainless steel for everlasting beauty and protection. Under normal use, your
Saladmaster Machine should provide a lifetime of superb service.
Get started by following these simple steps:
•
Before first use, thoroughly wash unit. See “Cleaning” on page 7.
•
Attach suction cups to feet, pushing cups up on feet as far as possible.
•
Position base onto work surface and press down to secure suction cups
firmly. Surface being used should be a non-porous type such as formica.
To loosen suction cups from work surface, simply lift edges of suction cups
with your finger. Do not forcibly pull suction cups loose.
•
Place hopper onto the base. Slide food guide onto top of hopper. The food
guide helps to position foods properly against the cone to ensure the best
cutting results.
CAUTION:
As with any precision cutting instrument, the edges of the
cutting cones are very sharp. Use extreme care when handling.
•
To attach cutting cones, place center hole in cone on center pin of clutch
plate. Turn handle clockwise to engage disk lugs into six holes of cone.
Check to make sure handle turns easily and cone is secure. To remove cone,
reverse procedure.
•
Place a bowl directly under the slicing cone to catch food.
•
Feed foods with fingertips, anchoring thumb and little finger on the sides of
the hopper. Do not feed with thumbs or palm of hand. Push food through
cone using constant pressure while turning the handle to activate the
cutting mechanism. Always use fresh, crisp foods.
•
Thoroughly clean after each use. See "Cleaning" on page 7.
