Uncooked meat and poultry
Cut the food into pieces to fit the feed tube. Boned, skinned chicken breasts will usually fit when cut in
half crosswise. Wrap the pieces in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. They are ready to slice
when they pass this "knife test": they are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife although semi-
frozen and hard to the touch. Stand them in the feed tube, cut side down, and slice them against the
grain, using firm pressure on the pusher. Or lay them flat in the feed tube, as many as will fit, and slice
with the grain, using firm pressure.
Frankfurters, salami and other sausages
If the sausage is soft, freeze it until hard to the touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
Hard sausages need not be frozen. If the sausage is thin enough to fit in the small feed tube, use that
tube. Otherwise, cut the sausage into pieces to fit the large feed tube completely. Stand the pieces
vertically, packing them in tightly so they cannot tilt sideways.
SLICING CHEESE
Firm cheese like Swiss and Cheddar
Cut the cheese into pieces to fit the feed tube. Put it in the freezer until it is semi-frozen – hard to the
touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Stand the pieces in the feed tube and apply light
pressure to the pusher.
IMPORTANT: Never try to slice soft cheese. Slice only hard cheese such as Parmesan. Do not use
block sizes larger than 3.5" x .750" x 4.0" (89 mm x 19 mm x 101 mm). Always use well-chilled cheese
when slicing. It is recommended to place cheese in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing. Do
not slice mozzarella in this unit. Damage to the unit may occur.
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones,
and large seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.
• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of foods such as carrots and zucchini will result
in a longer shredded product. Using the smaller chute and small pusher with food inserted vertically
will yield a shorter shredded product.
• Never try to shred soft cheese. Use only hard cheese. Mozzarella may be shredded only when well
chilled. Pre-cut mozzarella must be 1" thick by 3.5" wide and 4" high (25.4 mm x 89 mm x 101 mm).
Place mozzarella in a freezer for 1 hour prior to shredding. Use pulse lever only when shredding
cheese.
• When shredded food reaches nearly full capacity of the bowl, remove all shredded food from
the bowl.
