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.
