Recommendations when Using the Shredding/Slicing or Chipping Discs

•For all foods, pack the feed chute

ﬁrmly to ensure even results. Although ﬁrm pressure on the food pusher is recommended for some foods, do not press hard as the disc may jam.

•The slicing disc processes

vegetables and hard cheeses into thin pieces with a large surface area.

Page 23

•The shredding disc processes vegetables and hard cheeses into a large grate.

•The chipping disc makes chips from potatoes and also pumpkin, zucchini and sweet potato.

•Always use the food pusher when using the shredding/slicing or chipping disc.
