Helpful Hints

All food slices and shreds better when it is fresh and firm.

Semi-soft cheeses should be refrigerated overnight or placed in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes before shredding. Hard cheeses should be at room temperature. All unprocessed cheeses can be shredded successfully with this unit. It is not recommended that you use soft or processed cheese as it may clog the unit.

Use light pressure on the food guide for thinner slices and shreds, and firm pressure for thicker slices and shreds.

Certain soft fruits such as strawberries and kiwi should be firm, not over ripe to slice. These types of fruits can also be placed in a freezer for a few minutes before slicing. Certain fruits with tough skins such as apples should be peeled before slicing or shredding.

Some foods can be double processed, for instance you can shred carrots and run them through again for grated carrots. Cheese can be shredded twice for grated cheese.

Place the food upright in the food chamber until it is full and apply pressure evenly with the food guide. Failure to properly load the food chamber or to apply even pressure, may result in the food falling over in the food chamber which will result in uneven slices and shreds.

Do not be concerned if bits of food remain on top of the slicing-shredding cone after you have completed slicing or shredding. This is normal.

The unit is not designed to shred onions, slice cheese or chocolate, or process meats and tomatoes.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, do not attempt to slice foods that are too hard to be cut with an ordinary knife. This slicer-shredder was not designed to chop ice or grind coffee beans. You may damage the unit.
