Good Bad

15

TO CHANGE THE DISC:

1) With the motor base facing you, use your right hand to undo the aluminium fastening hook which holds the vegetable preparation head on the motor base.

5) Slide the hinge pin into the slots provided at the back of the motor base.

Then, lock the lid onto the motor base using the fastening hook.

16

Lift the vegetable preparation head, tilting it back to release the bowl.

2) Remove the disc by lifting it from underneath using the hub and if necessary, turn in an anti-clockwise direction to release…

If you have been using a dicing unit, we recommend you remove the grid and the disc at the same time.

This will be easier if you first rotate the emptying disc and pull it out by the two holes.

3) When fitting dicing equipment, we recommend that you clean the inside of the bowl with a damp cloth or sponge, particularly the part onto which the grid is to be fitted.

Always use a properly cleaned grid.

Never process soft foodstuffs after hard ones without properly cleaning the grid beforehand.

4) Fit the discharge plate, disc or dicing equipment as indicated in“assembly procedures” in points 1) and 2).

5) Close the lid of the vegetable preparation machine and lock onto the motor base using the fastening hook.

USES AND

CHOICE OF DISCS

The lid of the vegetable processor features two feed openings:

- a wide feed opening for processing vegetables such as cabbage and celery. This feeder can be fitted with a partition in order to cope with round and oval products.

- a narrow feed opening for long vegetables, guaranteeing a remarkable degree of cutting precision. Cutting quality can be optimized if the compartment is used as a cutting guide.

USING THE WIDE FEED OPENING

W A R N I N G

In order to obtain perfect results when making french fries, make sure you fit the removable partition and only use the feed opening that is opposite the outlet (see photo opposite).

- Raise the pusher to gain access to the feed opening.

- In the case of certain applications, it is a good idea to fit the removable partition. This improves the stacking of products which might otherwise be damaged by the stirrer (potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, etc.).

- Fill the feeder right up to the top with vegetables.

- Lower the pusher so that it is flush with the top of the feed opening.

- Exert a downwards pressure on the pusher. This pressure should just accompany the cutting process and will vary according to the type of cut.

Remember that too great a pressure will place unnecessary strain on the appliance.

- Cut cabbages in half and remove the core before processing, in order to avoid unnecessary strain and ensure an end-product of a higher quality.

USING THE WIDE FEED OPENING

Fill the feeder right up to the top with vegetables. Apply a downwards pressure on the pusher and maintain it until all the vegetables have been processed.

Always press the vegetables down with a pusher to improve cutting efficiency.

I M P O R T A N T

Check that your detergent is suitable for cleaning plastic parts. Some washing agents are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic soda or ammonia) and totally incompatible with certain types of plastic, causing them to deteriorate rapidly.

MAINTENANCE

• BLADES, PLATES AND GRATERS

The blades on the slicing discs, the plates on the julienne discs and the graters are all wearing parts, which have to be changed every so often to ensure high quality cutting.

CLEANING

W A R N I N G

As a precaution, always unplug your appliance before cleaning it (risk of electrocution).

• WEIGHT

After removing the head of the vegetable preparation machine, take off the disc, followed by the grid and discharge plate where necessary.

Dishwashers are best avoided in order to prevent the aluminium from becoming tarnished. Instead we recommend that you clean the machine by hand using washing-up liquid.

If you do put your machine in a dishwasher, we suggest that you use a detergent designed specially for aluminium.

Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean it with a damp cloth or sponge.
