PRODUCT USAGE

PREPARING TO PROCESS CUCUMBERS/ZUCCHINI
NOTE : For best results, food should be 3.8-8.9 cm in diameter.

Rotate lever clockwise to the locked position.
Cut Cucumber or Zucchini to a maximum length of 11.4 cm.
TIP: The first mark on the Food Skewer is 11.4 cm from the round skewer base.
Insert the Food Holder into one end, then the Zucchini/Cucumber Adapter into the other, using the markings to align both holder and adapter. Make sure the Food Holder and adapter are centred.
Place the food and Food Holder onto the main body and twist clockwise to lock into place.
Insert the Food Skewer into the skewer support on the attachment, making sure it goes all the way through the vegetable. Make sure there is no gap between the skewer knob and the skewer support on the Main Body.
PRODUCT USAGE (CONTINUED)
Once this is complete, begin on Step 1 of the “Processing Fruits & Vegetables” section.

PREPARING TO PROCESS OTHER VEGETABLES/FRUITS

NOTE: For best results, food should be 3.8-8.9 cm in diameter.
NOTE: For hard or tougher foods, such as Jicama or Yucca Root, remove the skin before processing.

Rotate lever clockwise to the locked position.
Cut the food to fit within the Attachment Main Body. Maximum food size is approximately 8.9 cm in diameter and 14 cm long.
Insert the Food Holder all the way into the centre of the food.
Place the food and Food Holder onto the main body and twist clockwise to lock into place.
Insert the Food Skewer into the skewer support on the Attachment Main Body, making sure that it is centred on the food.

NOTE: The Food Skewer may not need to be fully inserted. For hard foods, insert approximately 5 cm, or to the first mark on the Food Skewer.

PROCESSING FRUITS & VEGETABLES

NOTE: When using the Vegetable Sheet Cutter Attachment, do not wear ties, scarves, loose clothing, long necklaces, or anything that could become entagled in the attachment; gather long hair with a clasp.

Insert the desired blade into the Blade Carrier at a 45 degree angle to allow proper alignment with the Attachment Main Body. Allow the blade cover to rest on the food.
Turn the Stand Mixer on to Speed 2. For best results, start the Stand Mixer before releasing the blade into the food.
Pull towards Stand Mixer and lift up on the Blade Release Lever to unlock the Blade Carrier and rotate the Blade Carrier slowly until it comes into contact with the food before letting go.
PRODUCT USAGE (CONTINUED)
Once the food stops processing, turn off (0) the Stand Mixer.
NOTE: As the attachment cuts the vegetable into sheets, it can either be one continuous sheet or several sheets. This is normal.
Rotate lever clockwise to the locked position.
Remove the Blade.
Remove the Food Skewer, then remove the food and adapter (if necessary). To prevent breakage, do not twist the skewer during food removal. If food is difficult to remove from Food Holder or skewer, slice into the core lengthwise to help remove it.
