Breville BFP800 XL G16 Instruction Book page 19

For large fruit and vegetables (e.g. apples),
cut in half (if required) to fit in the feed chute.
Pack into the feed chute from left to right with
the adjustable slicing disc at the slot number
required for the desired thickness.
Long Fruit and Vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or
peeling. First cut the food to fit the length of the
feed chute (no more than 5 ½ inches (14cm).
If food fits without the need to cut, trim one
end so that it sits flat in feed chute or the food
should be able to lie on the side if you require a
long thin slice of vegetable or fruit.
Pack food vertically or horizontally, into the
feed chute with cut side facing disc.
The small feed chute can be used for long
vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.
WARNING
When slicing and shredding, always use the
food pusher to guide food down the feed
chute. Never put your fingers or spatula into
the feed chute. Always wait for the disc to stop
spinning before removing the lid.
Leafy Vegetables
For cabbage, wash and shake off excess water.
Cut into wedges to fit feed chute. For lettuce,
separate leaves, wash and dry thoroughly, then
roll up and pack vertically into feed 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 mini
chopping blade or S Blade™.
Cheese
Caution should always be taken when
processing cheese in a food processor.
For soft cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, partially freeze, until firm otherwise
it will jam in the disc.
For hard cheese such as Parmesan, check first
that it is not too hard otherwise it will damage
the disc - the cheese should slice easily with a
sharp knife.
For round cheese such as Mozzarella and
Bocconcini, slice one end and pack into the
feed 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 feed chute
(no more than 5 ½ inches (14cm)).
Pack into the feed chute with the cut side
facing disc.
Chocolate
Break block of chocolate into small pieces.
Chill until firm. Pack into the small feed chute.
Shred.
JULIENNE DISC
The Julienne disc is positioned on the disc
spindle in the main processing bowl and cuts
food into long thin strips. Common items to
be julienned include carrots, zucchini, potato
and celery. For longer strips, use the large feed
chute and lie the foods down horizontally.
For shorter match stick size strips use the
small feed chute and pusher.
NOTE
Use Julienne Disc with Disc Spindle.
MINI-BOWL FUNCTION
The mini processing bowl can be positioned
inside the main processing bowl and is used
for processing small food quantities. A mini
processing blade is provided which fits inside
the mini bowl and can be used for chopping,
mixing, whipping and blending a variety
of foods.
