• Before shredding or grating round fruits and vegetables with the
appliance, cut a thin slice from the bottom so food will be more stable .
Place food cut side down in the feed chute .
• Always remove seeds, cores and pits before processing .
• Select foods that are firm and not over ripe .
• Remove the core from hard vegetables, such as cabbage .
• When shredding thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of
the feed chute; stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly
packed and cannot turn or tilt .
• A few large pieces of food may remain on top of the disc after shredding
or grating . If desired, cut these by hand and add to mixture .
• Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding . For
best results with soft cheeses such as mozzarella, freeze 10–15 minutes
before processing to firm the cheese . Cut to fit feed tube and process
using even pressure .
