Apples in chute Sliced apples
Long fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetable by washing or peeling.
Cut the food to fit the length of the food chute (no
more than 10cm). If food fits without needing to cut
it, trim one end so that it sits flat in food chute.
Pack food vertically into the food chute with cut
side facing disc.
For more controlled slicing of long thinner vege
-
tables insert the large food pusher into the food
chute, remove the small food pusher and use to
guide food down narrower opening of the large
food chute.
Zucchini in chute Sliced zucchini
Leafy vegetables
For cabbage, wash and shake off excess water. Cut
into wedges to fit food chute. For lettuce, separate
leaves, wash and dry thoroughly, then roll up and
pack vertically into food chute. Slice or shred.
Note
Slicing or shredding is not recommended
for spinach. To process spinach, wash and
dry thoroughly, tear into pieces and use
chopping blade.
Lettuce in chute Sliced lettuce
Cheese
For soft cheese such as Mozzarella and Bocconcini,
partially freeze until firm otherwise it will jam in the
blades. For hard cheese such as Parmesan, check
first that it is not too hard otherwise it will damage
the blades - the cheese should slice easily with a
sharp knife.
For round cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, slice one end and pack into the food
chute so the flat end is facing the disc.
For wedge-shaped cheese, pack 2 pieces side by
side into chute to form a rectangular shape (one
piece with tip facing down, other piece with tip
facing up). Slice or shred.
Deli meats
Cut the meat to fit the length of the food chute
(no more than 10cm).
