Cuisinart FP8SV User Manual

•  The slicing discs make whole slices. They slice  
  fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and semi- 
  frozen raw meat. The shredding discs shred    
  most firm and hard cheeses. They also shred  
  vegetables like potatoes, carrots and zucchini.

•  Always pack food in the feed tube evenly 

for slicing and shredding. The food will dictate 
the amount of pressure: Use light pressure for 
soft foods, medium pressure for medium foods, 
and firm pressure for harder foods. Always 
process with even pressure. 

•  For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick 

slice on the bottom of the food so that it sits 
upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the 
feed tube, cut in half or quarter to fit. Process 
with even pressure. 

•  For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes 

or strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits 
upright in the feed tube.

•  When slicing or shredding cheese, be sure that 

the cheese is well chilled.

•  To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: 

Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed 
tube. Process with even pressure.
