WARNING

The blades on the discs are very sharp. Handle with care. Use center plastic holder when handling discs.

4.Next place the mixing bowl cover on the bowl. Make sure arrows on cover and bowl are aligned, so that tabs on bowl fit into channels in cover and then turn cover clockwise until tab on cover enters cover interlock and turn until tab clicks into place,

The cover should be in place whenever the power unit is in operation. The cover serves to prevent accidental contact with the moving disc. Also, the power unit will not operate unless the tab on the cover is in place and has engaged the safety cover interlock.

Placing into Operation with Slicing or Grating Disc

Make sure that the power unit is on a smooth, clean, suitable work surface and switched to the Off position, “O/Off.” Pull the electrical cord out to the necessary length and plug into a convenient outlet. The mixing bowl with the slicing or grating disc is now ready for operation.

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 slicing or grating discs be sure to watch the level in the bowl and stop the slicing or grating before the level of the material being sliced, or grated reaches the level of the disc holder.

Slicing and grating 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 slicing/grating disc do not turn (even after trying the highest speed) and it is humming the disc has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:

1.Switched to the Off position, “O/Off,” and unplugged.

2.The top cover should be removed and the items causing the blockage removed.
