CAUTION: THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES. To avoid injury when unpacking the parts, please follow these instructions: 1. Place the box on a low table or on the floor next to the kitchen counter or table where you intend to keep the food processor. [. . . ] When it does, unplug the unit, then hold the work bowl handle and turn it clockwise. Then lift; the work bowl and cover will come off together. Turn cover clockwise to unlock from work bowl. Lift, remove, invert and place on counter space. Remove the slicing or shredding disc: Place two fingers under each side of the disc and lift it straight up. Place the disc on top of the inverted work bowl cover to minimize drips and spills. Never put your fingers or a spatula into the feed tube. Never push down hard on the pusher. Use light pressure for soft fruits and vegetables like bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and tomatoes, and for all cheeses. Use medium pressure for most food: apples, celery, citrus fruit, potatoes and zucchini. Use firm pressure for hard vegetables like carrots and yams. PRACTICING SLICING AND SHREDDING 1. Insert a slicing or shredding disc, put the cover on the work bowl and insert the food in the feed tube. Slide the pusher into place, and apply pressure to the pusher while pressing down the PULSE button. Release the button as soon as the food is sliced or shredded. TECHNIQUES FOR SLICING AND SHREDDING Small, round fruits and vegetables: For large berries, radishes and mushrooms, trim the bottom ends flat with a knife. Insert the food through the feed tube, standing each piece on a flat end. You can fill the tube to about 1 inch (2. 5cm) from the top. The bottom layer gives you perfect slices Matchsticks or julienne strips: Process the food twice ­ `double slice' it. Insert large fruits or vegetables (potatoes, turnips, zucchini, apples) in the feed tube. Cut pieces to fit the feed tube horizontally from end to end. Apply pressure to the pusher while pressing the PULSE button until the food is sliced. Remove the slices from the work bowl and reassemble. The slices should be assembled horizontally, with the cut edges facing front and back. Reinsert them in the feed tube, wedging them in tightly. With the optional Square Julienne Disc, you can make square julienne strips in one operation. Wrap the pieces in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer.
