Cheese
Caution should always be taken when
processing cheese in a food processor.
For soft cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, partially freeze, until fi rm
otherwise it will jam in the blades. For hard
cheese such as Parmesan, check fi rst that
it is not too hard otherwise it will damage
the blades - the cheese should slice easily
with a sharp knife. For round cheese such
as Mozzarella and Bocconcini, slice one end
and pack into the feed chute so the fl at end
is facing the disc. For wedge-shaped cheese,
pack 2 pieces side by side into chute to form
a rectangular shape (one piece with tip
facing down, other piece with tip facing up).
Slice or shred.
SLICING, WITH ADJUSTABLE
SLICING DISC
The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit
and vegetables to a consistent thickness
required. From fi ne 0.5mm to think 8.0mm
via 24 adjustable settings. For many large
processing tasks, the adjustable slicing
disc will cut the processing time needed
to achieve the desired results. The result
depends on the type of food and how the
food is positioned into the feed chute.
For smaller foods, the small feed chute
provides greater control for adjustable
slicing. To adjust slicing height, hold the
adjustable slicing disc outer edge with
one hand, turn the adjustment dial on the
underside of the disc to set the height. An
arrow graphic indicates the height to which
the blade is set.
NOTE:
There may be slight variation in slice
thickness depending on the food
being processed and force applied
with the feed chute pusher.
Do not overfi ll the feed chute before slicing.
The pusher will not activate the unit if the
chute is overfi lled. A Max level graphic
indicates the maximum fi ll level.
Adjustable slicer
1. Place the adjustable slicer onto the disc
spindle in the processing bowl.
2. Prepare food as directed in the following
food categories or recipes.
3. Pack food into the feed chute as directed
in the following food categories. For
smaller size food leave the large pusher
in place and use the small pusher
instead. The food should fi t snugly so it is
supported upright in the feed chute, but
not so tight that it prevents the food from
easily moving down the feed chute when
guided by the food pusher.
4. Process using the START/PAUSE button
whilst at same time, gently guiding the
food down the feed chute using the food
pusher. Never force the food down as
this will damage the discs. Apply light
pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes
and bananas; medium pressure for fi rmer
foods such as potatoes and apples; and
fi rm pressure for hard foods such as
Parmesan cheese and deli meats such
as salami.
5. Repeat this process until all food has
been sliced, shredded or grated.
