• place the cut zucchini or carrots in
the feeding tube on end until the
feeding tube is packed.
To slice a single narrow item, a carrot for
example:
• place the carrot in the feeding funnel
opposite the cutting edge of the disc.
The wall of the feeding funnel will then serve
to hold the piece vertical.
When using the slicing or grating discs be
sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop
the slicing or grating before the level of the
material being sliced, or grated reaches the
level of the disc holder.
Slicing and grating tips:
1. Shopping for fruits and vegetables that
will fit into the feeding funnel will simplify
food preparation.
2. Foods that are to be used together may
be sliced together. This can be used to
your advantage. For example, green
onions and celery are often used
together, but feeding the green onions
into the feeding funnel alone is difficult.
Try slicing the green onions at the same
time as the celery by interspersing
them in the feeding funnel with the
celery.
3. Use the slicing disc to shred lettuce.
4. Do not overcook potatoes that are to
be sliced. Also it is recommended that
you let them cool first. Potatoes must
be cool and firm to obtain the regular
slices.
If the slicing/grating disc do not turn (even
after trying the highest speed) and it is
humming the disc has become blocked by
the contents. The power unit should be:
1. Switched to the Off position, “O/Off,”
and unplugged.
2. The top cover should be removed and
the items causing the blockage
removed.
WARNING
The blades on the discs are very sharp.
Handle with care. Use center plastic holder
when handling discs.
4. Next place the mixing bowl cover on
the bowl. Make sure arrows on cover
and bowl are aligned, so that tabs on
bowl fit into channels in cover and then
turn cover clockwise until tab on cover
enters cover interlock and turn until tab
clicks into place,
The cover should be in place whenever
the power unit is in operation. The cover
serves to prevent accidental contact
with the moving disc. Also, the power
unit will not operate unless the tab on
the cover is in place and has engaged
the safety cover interlock.
Placing into Operation with Slicing or
Grating Disc
Make sure that the power unit is on a
smooth, clean, suitable work surface and
switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull
the electrical cord out to the necessary
length and plug into a convenient outlet.
The mixing bowl with the slicing or grating
disc is now ready for operation.
Place items to be sliced, shredded or
grated in feeding funnel and be sure to use
the pusher to feed items into the discs when
in operation.
Learning how to feed food properly into the
feed funnel is the most important factor for
proper slicing and grating:
1. For long slices or long shreds, place
food into the feeding funnel lengthwise.
2. For short or circular slices, place food
in the feeding tube on end. For
example, if you wish to have circular
slices of zucchini or carrots:
• cut to length not to extend above the
top of the feeding tube.
