Slicer/Shredder
To slice or shred cheese, select firm cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. Place cheese in
freezer for 30 minutes before processing.
The reversible slicer/shredder disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other.
The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired
cutting edge facing up.
• Make sure the control switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.
• Lock the bowl onto base. (See” How to Lock the Bowl” on page 2.)
• Place removable drive sleeve on motor shaft. Put slicer/shredder disc on removable drive sleeve with
the desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Lock lid onto bowl.
• To slice/shred large foods (such as chunk of cabbage, green pepper, whole tomato) open food chute
lid by lifting latch. Depress food holder to the right. Insert food and lock lid.
• To julienne vegetables, slice then remove from bowl and restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute
with slices vertical. Slice again to make match-stick cut vegetables.
• To slice/shred long and thin foods (such as potato, pepperoni, carrots, and celery). Lock lid. Long foods
can be inserted into the chute opening and processed as long as the food chute lid is closed.
• Insert food pusher in chute. Always use the food pusher to feed food into the chute. NEVER PUSH
FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.
• Plug in unit.
• Select speed. While pressing on food pusher, select 1 or 2 for optimum slicing and shredding
performance or PULSE to process food. Reference the food processing chart for recommended
processing times and speeds.
NOTE:
The food chute lid is designed to pivot towards the right when processing food that fills the
whole food chute capacity.
• When food chute is empty, select OFF (O) or release form PULSE position. Wait until blade has
stopped rotating before removing lid. Unplug the unit.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Cause / solution
Unit does not operate on
any speed or Pulse.
• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?
• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place?
Food is not chopped, sliced
or shredded uniformly.
• Putting too much food in the food chute, or pushing too hard on the
food pusher may cause the processed food to be irregulary sliced or
shredded.
Unit stops and will not
come back on.
• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? They
may have moved slighty during processing.
• Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or
other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse
or tripped the circuit breaker.
• Turn unit OFF, allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, then turn back ON.
If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to
repair the unit
Unit smells burnt.
• There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing pro-
cess, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away.
• If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug the unit IMME-
DIATELY
The motor seems weak.
• Putting too much food in the food chute, or pushing too hard on the
food pusher may cause speed be irregular.
