-
To use one of these slicing/shredding discs, slide the side of the disc marked with an arrow into the grooves on the disc holder (refer to Fig. 8). It should click securely into place.
CAUTION: The blades are sharp! Handle with care. -
With the disc installed, hold the disc holder by the cutouts and place it on top of the dri,·e shaft and push down gently (refer to Fig. 9).
Attaching the lid
- Place the lid on top of the bowl, making sure that the rectangular marking on the lid is aligned with the ‘open lock’ symbol at the top of the processing bowl (refer to Fig. 10).

- Open the chute safety lid and place larger ingredients into the chute, then lock the chute safety lid again.
- Use the large plunger to gently press the food pieces into the rotating blade (Fig. 14).
- The small (round) plunger is recommended for processing smaller ingredients. To use it, unlock it from the large (double) plunger by rotating it anticlockwise, then remove it from the large plunger.
- Insert the large (double) plunger into the chute (Fig 14.), place smaller wood pieces into the round opening of the large plunger, then use the small plunger to gently press the food pieces into the rotating blade (Fig. 15).
- IMPORTANT! Do not force ingredients into the feed chute. If the food pieces are too large, cut them to size before processing.
Chopping blade (13)
Standai-d processing time is 30 seconds to 1 minute. Please refer to the
following table for the max. volume per batch:
Mixing blade (12)
The standard processing time is 20 to 30 seconds. Please refer to the
following table for the max. volume per batch:
Tips and warnings:
The ratio of flour to ·water to make the dough is 1: 0.6, meaning 100g flour
needs 60g water to make the best effect. The standard of processing time
should be within 30 sec., as the flour will become sticky and will stick to
the driving shaft if the time la. is too long. It will make the machine shake,
and work abnormally.
Disc for fine slicing/coarse slicing/ coarse shredding/ fine shredding
Choose the blade disc according to the ingredient.-; and the size you w, mt.
Put the blade disc you choose into the plastic disc holder (5), then seat it
in the driving shaft (4). Close the processing bowl cover, and lock the feed
chute cover using the safety lock (7) on the lid. You can start to process the
food when the machine operates. If the food size is small, but the big pusher
(9) onto the fo~d chute cover, and use the small pusher (IO) for convenient
operation. DO NOT put a lot of force when pushing the ingredients into the
feed chute using the pusher. It is better to chop large-size I ingredients
into smaller ones to fit the feed chute size. Lower speed is recommended
·while slicing soft ingredients to prevent them from becoming pasty. for
processing large amounts of ingredients, divide them into several batches for
processing. The standard processing time is l minute.
French Fry cutting disc
Set the French fry cutting disc (17) similar to the way of setting the
shredding blade. Start the appliance to ensure it is working normally. Then
tum the switch off, top the machine and prepare for food processing. The
French fry culling disc is only for course cutting. It can only process soft
vegetables, such as potatoes. For French fry cutting, open the feed chute
over, put the food in, close the cover, and then use the big pusher with the
small pusher locked on it for operation.
WARNING
- Be extremely careful when handling blades and inserts, especially while assembling and disassembling, and cleaning after use. The blades are very sharp.
- Clean the chopper and keep it m the blade cover. Make sure that the blade is not exposed, in order to avoid cutting yourself for use next time.
- The spatula is for scraping and cleaning the processing bowl after the machine stops operating. Do not put the spatula into the feeding chute to stir the food while the machine is operating, as it could be dangerous.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING
- Disconnect from mains power before cleaning.
- Empty the processing bowl and remove the disk holder from the bowl. Then remove the.
shredding/cutting/slicing blade from the disk holder, the pusher from the lid, and the lid from the bowl. Immerse the lid, pusher, and process. ilg bowl, disk hold.er, and the shredding/cutting /slicing blade in warm water and clean them with a soft brush. Do not use any of the parts in a dishwasher.
CAUTION: The blade is extremely sharp. Handle with care.
Wipe the outside of the motor base with a cloth. Never immerse it in water
as an electric shock is possible to occur. Then dry thoroughly. Ensure the
interlock area is free of food particles Note: Some food may discolor the
processing bowl. This is normal and will not harm the plastic or affect the
flavor of food. Rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to remove
discoloration.
