hints
l
Use fresh ingredients.
l
Don't cut food up too small. Fill the width of the large
feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from
slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively, use
the small feed tube.
l
When slicing or shredding: food placed upright comes
out shorter than food placed horizontally.
l
After using a cutting disc there will always be a small
amount of waste on the disc or in the food.
