Placing Slicer/Shredder into Operation
Make sure the power unit is on a smooth,
clean, suitable work surface and switched
to the Off position, “O/Off.” Unwind the
electrical cord to the necessary length and
plug into a convenient outlet. The slicer/
shredder is now ready for use.
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.
• 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 slicer/shredder be sure to
watch the level in the bowl and stop the
slicing, shredding or grating before the level
of the material being sliced, shredded or
grated reaches the level of the disc holder.
Slicer/shredder 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.
