BASIC FOOd PROCESSING TECHNIQUES
SLICING, WITH AdjUSTABLE
SLICING dISC
The adjustable slicer disc slices raw fruit
and vegetables to a consistent thickness
required. From fine 0.5mm to think 8.0mm
via 24 adjustable settings.
For many large processing tasks, the
adjustable slicing disc will cut the
processing time needed to achieve the
desired results. The result depends on the
type of food and how the food is positioned
into the feed chute.
For smaller foods, the small feed chute
provides greater control for adjustable slicing.
To adjust slicing height, hold the adjustable
slicing disc outer edge with one hand, turn
the adjustment dial on the underside of the
disc to set the height. An arrow graphic
indicates the height to which the blade is set.
NOTE
There may be slight variation in slice
thickness depending on the food
being processed and force applied
with the feed chute pusher.
Do not overfill the feed chute before slicing.
The pusher will not activate the unit if the
chute is overfilled. A Max level graphic
indicates the maximum fill level.
WARNING
Adjustable Slicing Disc blade is sharp,
keep hands away from the blade.
Adjustable slicer
1. Place the adjustable slicer onto the disc
spindle in the processing bowl.
2. Prepare food as directed in the following
food categories or recipes.
3. Pack food into the feed chute as directed
in the following food categories. For
smaller size food leave the large pusher
in place and use the small pusher
instead. The food should fit snugly so it
is supported upright in the feed chute,
but not so tight that it prevents the food
from easily moving down the feed chute
when guided by the food pusher.
4. Process using the START/PAUSE button
whilst at same time, gently guiding the
food down the feed chute using the food
pusher. Never force the food down as this
will damage the discs. Apply light pressure
for soft foods such as tomatoes and
bananas; medium pressure for firmer foods
such as potatoes and apples; and firm
pressure for hard foods such as Parmesan
cheese and deli meats such as salami.
5. Repeat this process until all food has
been sliced, shredded or grated.
