Important Cord and Plug Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali-
fied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Getting Acquainted
Before using your Presto
®
Professional Sal-
adShooter
®
electric slicer/shredder, study the
diagram (Fig. A) to become familiar with the
various parts of the unit and read the instruc-
tions carefully.
Before initial use, and after each subsequent
use, wash all parts except the motorized base
in warm, soapy water. Wipe the motorized base
with a damp cloth to clean.
Never immerse the
motorized base in water or any other liquid.
NOTE:
For your convenience, each cone
is identified with its name on top. The thick
slices will be approximately
3/16
inch thick, the
medium shreds approximately ⅛ inch wide,
and the super (thick) shreds approximately
¼ inch wide.
How to Use
1. Attach the food chamber to the motorized
base. Insert the two tabs on the back of the
food chamber into the two tab pockets on
the motorized base (Fig. B). Rotate the food
chamber clockwise until it is upright and
you hear it snap in place.
NOTE:
If the food
chamber will not rotate to the upright position, make sure the switch is in the OFF position.
2. Insert one of the slicing or shredding cones into the slicing/shredding chute. Adjust the
cone until you feel the end fit into the socket. Then attach the twist-lock ring by turning it
clockwise until it locks into place.
CAUTION!
The metal portions on the exterior of the slicing and shredding cones are sharp.
Handle with care.
3. The adjustable food guide can be separated to adapt to small or large loads.
To use the food guide for large loads, fill the clear food chamber with the food that will be
processed. Slowly push the food down the chamber and through the chute using the guide.
To use the food guide for small loads that you want to process upright, e.g. carrots, you will need to
separate it into two pieces. Grasp the top rim of the guide and, while pressing the release tab with your
index finger (Fig C), pull back on the guide slightly and lift the top of the guide out of the bottom
piece. Do not push forward on the guide while trying to separate it. Another way to disengage the two
pieces is to press the release tab with your thumb and then lift up the on the edge underneath the tab.
Notice the bottom piece has an open compartment which will hold the
smaller food load (Fig D).
Place the bottom piece of the guide into the food chamber and put the food
you would like processed into the open compartment (Fig E). Use the top
piece of the guide to push the food through the chamber during processing.
Make sure the bottom piece of the food guide remains in the food cham-
ber when processing small loads.
