Using the Adjustable Slicing and

Reversible Shredding Discs

• The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices

fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and semi-

frozen raw meat. The shredding disc shreds

most firm and hard cheeses. It also shreds

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.

NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing

or shredding. Never put your hands in the

feed tube while unit is running.
