OPERATION
Shredding cheese
• The times recommended for chilling cheese are based on a freezer temperature of 23F.
If your freezer is colder or warmer, you may need to adjust the time to chill the
cheese.
• Never try to shred or slice soft cheese like Brie or hard cheese like Romano. Slicing
disc or food processor may get damaged.
• Most cheese can be successfully shredded except soft cheese.
• Mozzarella, is the exception, which shreds well if thoroughly chilled. Hard cheese
can only be shredded if stored at room temperature.
* It is not recommended to use the slicing blade for cheese.
