Operation

its coupling. For dicing or chopping onions, first place a suitable dicing grid edge in the groove (2C) in the
machine. For dicing, choose a suitable standard slicer or fine cut slicer, and fit the slicer to the shaft and then
turn it so that the slicer drops into its coupling. For slicing, shredding and grating, fit only the selected cutting
tool to the shaft and turn the cutting tool so that it drops into its coupling. When cutting with the flexi-feeder
(8F), secure the locking sleeve (2A) turning it counterclockwise on the centre shaft of the cutting tool. To
remove, unscrew the locking sleeve (2A) by turning it clockwise, using the groove in the fork lifter (6B) and
remove the cutting tool (3) and the ejector plate (2B). The dicing grid (3G) is removed by inserting the narrow
end of the grid (6A) and then lifting the grid.
CHOOSING THE FEEDER
The flexi-feeder (8F) is used for cutting all types of foods. Two of the internal partitions can be moved or
removed. The feed hopper (1D) is used for continuous cutting of large quantities of potatoes, onions, etc.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE FLEXI-FEEDER
To fix the flexi-feeder (8F), place it and snap the lock at 150° (4A) when looking from the machine outlet. Then
turn the flexi-feeder clockwise to the locked position at 180° (4B). To remove, bend the snap lock (4B) up
slightly, at the same time turning the flex-feeder counterclockwise.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE FEED HOPPER
To fit the feed hopper (1D), place it with the snap lock at 150° (5A), viewed from the machine outlet. Then turn
the feed hopper clockwise to the locked position at 180° (5B). Place the pusher plate (1A) on the centre shaft
of the cutting tool, with the bracket (1B) fitting into the hole (1C) on the inside of the feed hopper, and turn the
pusher plate counterclockwise to secure it. To remove, unscrew the pusher plate (1A) by turning it clockwise
and remove it, and then bend the snap lock (5B) up slightly, at the same time turning the feed hopper
counterclockwise.

CLEANING
Switch the machine off and unplug the unit from the socket. Carefully clean the machine immediately after
use. If you have used a dicing grid (3G), leave it in the machine and use the optional brush (7B) to push it out
and remove the product remaining in the grid. Remove the loose parts of the machine, wash them and dry
thoroughly. Wipe the machine with a damp cloth. Always dry the knives of the cutting tools after use. Always
store the cutting tools (3) on the optional hangers (7A) on the wall. Never clean the cutting tools or other light
alloy objects with an alkaline detergent (often used in dishwashers). Never use sharp objects or a pressurized
jets for cleaning. Never spray water on the sides of the machine.
