Tip:
After emptying cake batter or puréed soup
from the work bowl, replace the bowl on the
motor base and PULSE once. Centrifugal
force will spin the batter off the blade onto
the sides of the work bowl.
Remove the blade, and use the spatula to
scrape any remaining batter from the bowl.
PREPARING FOOD FOR
SLICING AND SHREDDING
For disc assembly instructions, refer to
Assembly Instructions.
Round fruits and vegetables:
Before processing onions, apples and other
large, round fruits and vegetables, cut the
bottom ends flat to make the food lie stable
on the disc.
Place the food in the feed tube, flat side
down, as far left as possible, to prevent it
from tilting when being processed.
Choose fruits that are firm and not too ripe.
Remove large, hard pits and seeds from
fruits before processing. Seeds from citrus
fruits need not be removed. Remove the rind
before slicing or shredding, if desired.
Whole peppers are an exception:
Remove the stem and cut the stem end flat.
Remove the core and scoop out the seeds. Leave
the end opposite the stem whole, to keep the
structure stiff. This ensures round, even slices.
Large fruits like pineapple:
Cut the ends flat, cut in half, and either core
or remove the seeds. If necessary, cut the
halves into smaller pieces to fit the feed tube.
Cabbage and iceberg lettuce:
Turn the head on its side and slice off the top
and bottom, leaving a center section about
3 inches (8cm) deep. Remove the core, then
cut in wedges to fit the feed tube.
The optional 2mm and 1mm Slicing Discs are
excellent for slicing cabbage for coleslaw.
If the fruit or vegetable doesn't fit, try
inserting it from the bottom of the feed tube,
where the opening is slightly larger.
Pack the feed tube for desired results:
For long slices or shreds, cut the food in feed
tube widths and pack the pieces horizontally.
For small, round slices or short shreds from
carrots, zucchini and other long vegetables,
cut in feed tube heights and pack tightly
upright.
Food should fit snugly, but not so tightly that it
prevents the pusher from moving.
When slicing or shredding, always use the
pusher.
Never put your fingers or a spatula
into the feed tube.
Never push down hard on the pusher. Use
light pressure for soft fruits and vegetables
like bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and
tomatoes, and for all cheeses. Use medium
pressure for most food: apples, celery,
citrus fruit, potatoes and zucchini. Use firm
pressure for hard vegetables like carrots
and yams.
PRACTICING
SLICING AND SHREDDING
1. Insert a slicing or shredding disc, put
the cover on the work bowl and insert
the food in the feed tube.
2. Slide the pusher into place, and apply
pressure to the pusher while pressing down
the PULSE button. Release the button as
soon as the food is sliced or shredded.
3. You can load the feed tube repeatedly
without removing work bowl cover. Simply
grasp the pusher and lift up. The pusher
assembly will come off easily, leaving the
cover and feed tube in place. Your other
hand is free to reload the feed tube, and
you do not need to re-press the ON button
if it was previously selected.
