To fit it, just place it directly on the disc with the blades to the top. A click indicates that it is
locked in position (fig.3)
- To remove the food guide, the disc and the bowl, just pull the food guide outwards (fig. 4) and
with the motor switched off rotate the toothed wheel 1/4 turn clockwise using the spatula (13)
as shown in fig. 5, then pull out the bowl and then the disc (fig. 6)
- N.B. If dismantling proves difficult because the disc is jammed, restart the appliance for a few
seconds and proceed with dismantling again.
- Handle the disc carefully, as it is very sharp and could cause injury.
- Plug the appliance into the power supply and press the switch (5) to start the appliance.
- When the appliance is in use, it is recommended that the spatula (13) provided is used to
remove the chopped food more easily. (fig. 7)
- Always use the press (4) to push food into the bowl.
- N.B. To avoid slowing the motor and/or clogging the discs, do not use excessive pressure on
the food press.
N.B. Do not use the hands or any object other than the press supplied (4).
The discs are marked on the back with a letter to indicate use:
A) Disc for thin slices
B) Disc for thick slices

USEFUL HINTS
Cut the food up so it can be placed in the bowl more easily.
- To obtain small pieces, insert the food vertically (not more than one piece at a time).
- To obtain longer, thinner pieces or slices, insert the food horizontally.
The best results are obtained with food which is not too soft.
If the food is not quite hard enough, place it in the freezer until it reaches the necessary con-
sistency. Do not use the appliance to cut very hard foods (for example, ice cubes).
The motor may be stopped and/or the disc clogged by using food which is too soft and/or too
much pressure on the food or intensive continuous use.
In this case, stop the appliance immediately by pressing switch (5), unplug it from the
mains, remove the food guide and disc and clean thoroughly.
