Both thick and thin slicing can be achieved by using either the Coarse or Fine Slicing/ Shredding Discs. Use one side of the Coarse disc for thick slicing and the other side for coarse shredding. Use one side of the Fine Disc for thin slicing and the other side for fine shredding. Carefully turn the required disc so that the process required is facing upwards. When fine grating, is required use the Fine Grating Disc.
