4. For best slicing and shredding results, it is important that the food be prepared properly and placed in
the food chamber as follows:
• Cut food so that it does not extend above the top of the food chamber and will fit loosely in the
chamber. Food that does not fit loosely in the food chamber may become wedged in the chamber
and will not discharge properly. If it is too large to fit loosely in the chamber, cut food into smaller
pieces. For small loads, use the adjustable food guide as instructed in step 3.
• Stack food into the food chamber upright for short slices or horizontally for longer slices (Fig. F).
• Push food through the food chamber using an even pressure on the food guide.
5. The Professional SaladShooter
®
is designed to be hand-held, providing you with the flexibility to point
and shoot wherever you want. It can also, however, be used on the counter. Simply place a small bowl
under the opening of the slicing/shredding chute.
If you are going to slice or shred into a small bowl or onto a small area, you may want to use the fun-
nel guide. It directs foods right where you want them. Position the funnel guide so the embossed line
on the outer rim is centered with the clear food chamber (Fig. G). Then snap the funnel guide onto the
twist- lock ring.
When using the slicer/shredder with the funnel guide attached, hold the unit so that the open end of the
funnel is over the spot on which you wish to shoot the ingredients.
If moist ingredients, such as lettuce and carrots, do not readily come out of the funnel during process-
ing, shake the unit slightly.
When using the funnel guide with the slicing cones, be sure the diameter of the sliced food is less than
the diameter of the small end of the funnel.
6. Plug the cord into a 120VAC electrical outlet only. Begin slicing or shredding. Use the power switch to
turn the unit on and off.
CAUTION!
To avoid personal injury, never use your hands to push food through the food chamber. Al-
ways use the food guide and always keep your hands away from the slicing/shredding chute when the unit
is running.
Use Guide for the Slicing and Shredding Cones
Insert the desired slicing or shredding cone in the slicing/shredding chute, following Step 2, page 4 of the “How to Use” instructions.
NOTE:
The funnel guide may be used for the functions below for directing foods right where you want them. Follow the instructions
in Step 5 on page 5.
CAUTION!
The metal portions of the slicing and shredding cones are sharp. Handle with care. 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.
