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 continuous 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 blocks the discharge tube.
Slicing and shredding 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 slicer/shredder does not start (even after trying the highest speed) the disc has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:
1.Switched to Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged.
2.The continuous shredder should be removed from the power unit, the cover removed and the items causing the blockage removed.
Removing Contents
Before beginning to remove the contents from the bowl, make sure that the power unit has been turned to the Off position, “O/Off.” The continuous shredder may be removed from the power unit by turning the shredder clockwise while lifting. With the continuous shredder removed from the power unit, depress the release button and move the arm upward until the bowl can be removed. The contents of the bowl may now be poured into a suitable container or bowl, as desired.
