BASIC FOOd PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
4. Process using the START/PAUSE button
whilst at same time, gently guiding the
food down the feed chute using the food
pusher. Never force the food down as
this will damage the discs.
Apply light pressure for soft foods such
as tomatoes and bananas; medium
pressure for firmer foods such as
potatoes and apples; and firm pressure
for hard foods such deli meats
and salami.
5. Repeat this process until all food has
been sliced, shredded or grated.
Round fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or
peeling, and coring or seeding (if necessary).
For small fruit and vegetables (e.g. kiwi fruit,
roma tomatoes), trim one end so the food
sits flat in the feed chute.
For large fruit and vegetables (e.g. apples),
cut in half (if required) to fit in the feed
chute. Pack into the feed chute with the
adjustable slicing disc at the slot number
required for the thickness.
Tomatoes in chute Sliced tomatoes
Apples in chute Sliced apples
Long fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or
peeling. First cut the food to fit the length
of the feed chute (no more than 9cm high
if loading vertically, 14cm long if loading
horizontally). If food fits without the need
to cut, trim one end so that it sits flat in feed
chute or the food should be able to lie on
the side if you require a long thin slice of
vegetable or fruit.
Pack food vertically or horizontally, into the
feed chute with cut side facing disc.
The small feed chute can be used for long
vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.
