SLICING, GRATING AND SHREDDING
Important: the spindle must be used
with both the adjustable slicer and
the reversible shredder/grater.
Adjustable slicer
The adjustable slicer will slice food to an even
and consistent thickness. It can be adjusted
to 24 settings, from very fine (0.3mm) to thick
(8.0mm). To adjust the slicing thickness, hold
the adjustable slicing disc by the outer edge
with one hand, and turn the adjustment
dial on the underside with the other hand.
An arrow graphic indicates the thickness of
the slice you will get.
Reversible grater and shredder
This disc has an array of small blades on
both sides of the disc. Align the disc so larger
holes face up for courser textured results,
or with the smaller holes facing up for finer
results. The discs are labelled showing which
side faces up.
CONTROLLING THE INGREDIENTS
It is important to position the food in
the chute to gain maximum control and
best results.
Smaller ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots,
cucumbers, zucchini, etc., use the small feed
chute. This will avoid the ingredient from
tipping over during slicing.
Larger ingredients
The wide feed chute is 5 inch (13cm) wide,
and can fit ingredients up to this size. The
chute can be packed to fill the width of the
chute. The food should fit snugly so it is
supported in an upright position in the chute,
but not so tight that it could prevent the food
from moving down the chute.
Medium feed chute
Use the medium feed chute for ‘in-between’
food processing. The medium feed chute is
2¾ inch (7cm) wide, and can fit ingredients
up to this size. The chute can be packed to
fill the width of the chute. The food should
fit snugly so it is supported in an upright
position in the chute, but not so tight that it
could prevent the food from moving down
the chute.
Take care not to overfill the chute, as the
pusher will not activate the interlock safety
catch if the chute is too full. Do not fill over
the MAX CHUTE FILL graphic.
Ensure the large pusher is in place before
using the medium pusher.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the discs.
Apply light pressure for soft foods such as
tomatoes and bananas.
Apply medium pressure for firmer foods such
as potatoes and apples.
Apply firm pressure for hard foods such
as parmesan cheese and deli meats such
as salami.
Round fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing and
peeling (if necessary).
Small fruit and vegetables should be trimmed
on one end so the food sits flat inside the
feed chute.
Large fruit and vegetables may need to be cut
in half to fit in the chute. Pack the chute from
left to right.
