hints
●
Use the shredding side for carrots, potatoes and foods
of a similar texture.
●
Use the slicing side for food items such as carrots,
potatoes, cabbage, cucumber, courgette and onions.
●
Use fresh ingredients.
●
Don’t cut food too small. Fill the width of the feed tube
fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways
during processing. Alternatively use the small feed tube.
●
Food placed upright comes out shorter than food
placed horizontally.
●
There will always be a small amount of waste left on the
disc or in the bowl after processing.
To use the large feed tube - use both pushers together.

mixing to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
●
For best results, all liquid ingredients should be as cold
as possible.

Milk drinks will taste better if the milk is ice cold. The
colder the milk, the thicker and more frothy the drink.
Skimmed milk will produce a frothier drink than semiskimmed or full fat milk.

Never try to mix frozen fruit or crush ice.
●
Break up large lumps of ice cream before frothing.
