Important Cord and Plug Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
WARNING!
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Getting Acquainted
Before using your Presto
slicer/shredder, study the diagram to the right to be-
come familiar with the various parts of the unit and
read the instructions carefully.
Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash
all parts except the motorized base in warm, sudsy
water. Wipe the motorized base with a damp cloth to
clean. Never immerse the motorized base in water
or any other liquid.
How To Use
1. Select either the slicing or the shredding cone and
insert it narrow end first (Fig. A) into the slicing/
shredding chute.
Then attach the twist-lock ring to the slicing/
shredding chute by turning it clockwise until it
locks into place (Fig. B).
CAUTION! The metal portions of the slicing and
shredding cones are sharp. Handle with care.
2. Attach the food chamber assembly to the motor-
ized base by inserting the portion containing the
driving end of the slicing or shredding cone
into the socket of the motorized base (Fig. C).
Then rotate the food chamber assembly clock-
wise until it is upright and centered with the
handle. To be sure the food chamber assembly
is attached properly, check to see that the
interlock bracket (Fig. D) is positioned in the
bracket slot (Fig. E).
Proper assembly is important. This unit is
designed with safety in mind. The food chamber assembly cannot be removed
from the base unless the power switch is in the OFF position.
Likewise, the motor will not turn on unless the assembly is attached to the
unit. The motor stops automatically if an incorrectly attached assembly slips
off the base during operation.
Should the motor stop in the middle of operation, turn the switch to the OFF
position. Reassemble, making sure the interlock bracket on the bottom of
the slicing/shredding chute is positioned in the bracket slot on the motorized
base before using the unit again.
3. For best slicing and shredding results, it is important that the food be prepared properly and placed in the food chamber as follows:
• Cut food so that it will fit easily and loosely into the food chamber. Food that does not fit loosely in the food chamber may become
wedged in the food chamber and therefore will not discharge properly. If food is too large to fit loosely in the food chamber, cut
it into smaller pieces.
