Cheese

Caution should always be taken when processing cheese in a food processor. For soft cheese such as Mozzarella, place into freezer for 20–25 minutes or until well chilled otherwise it will jam in the blades. For hard cheese such as Parmesan, check first that it is not too hard otherwise it will damage the blades - the cheese should slice easily with a sharp knife. For round cheese such as Mozzarella, slice one end and pack into the feed chute so the flat end is facing the disc. For wedge-shaped cheese, pack

2 pieces side by side into chute to form a rectangular shape (one piece with tip facing down, other piece with tip facing up). Shred as desired using a gentle pushing action

Slicing, with adjustable slicing disc

The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit and vegetables to a consistent thickness required. From fine 0.5mm to think 8.0mm via 24 adjustable settings.

For many large processing tasks, the adjustable slicing disc will cut the processing time needed to achieve the desired results. The result depends on the type of food and how the food is positioned into the feed chute.

For smaller foods, the small feed chute provides greater control for adjustable slicing.

To adjust slicing height, hold the adjustable slicing disc outer edge with one hand, turn the adjustment dial on the underside of the disc to set the height.

An arrow graphic indicates the height to which the blade is set.

NOTE

There may be slight variation in slice thickness depending on the food being processed and force applied with the feed chute pusher.

Do not overfill the feed chute before slicing. The pusher will not activate the unit if the chute is overfilled. A MAX level graphic indicates the maximum fill level.

WARNING

Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp, keep hands away from the blade.

Adjustable slicer

1.Place the adjustable slicer onto the disc spindle in the processing bowl.

2.Prepare food as directed in the following food categories or recipes.

3.Pack food into the feed chute as directed in the following food categories. For smaller size food leave the large pusher in place and use the small pusher instead. The food should fit snugly so it is supported upright in the feed chute, but not so tight that it prevents the food from easily moving down the feed chute when guided by the food pusher.
