POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Do not let

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
•Remove all packaging and transport materials from the inside and
outside of the appliance.
•Before using the appliance for the first time (or after prolonged
storage without use), wash any parts that will come into contact
with food. See “Cleaning and Maintenance”section for reference.
•It is recommended to use a little vegetable oil on the accessories to
avoid staining from vegetables such as carrots and beetroot.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY
•Place the base unit (8) on a flat surface.
•Push the collection tray (5) into the base unit and ensure that the
handle faces outwards.
•Install the chosen attachment into the holder, depending on what
you are going to use the appliance for (see “Attachments” section
below). Turn the holder so that the pin on the small handle faces

5
B422784 - 190918
upwards. Place the attachment in the holder so that the small
round hole fits over the pin on the left side of the holder.
•Place the holder with the installed attachment onto the base unit so
that the rollers rest on the inside edge. The end with the small
handle should be placed in the furthermost end of the base unit.
•Place the lid (6) onto the base unit while ensuring that the slit in the
lid fits over the pin on the holder’s small handle. Press the lid until it
clicks into place. Using a finger, check whether the holder can be
moved freely back and forth.
•Install the motor unit (9) above the lid, so that it fits down over the
pin in the slit and the two pins at the top of the lid.
•Decide whether to use the large (7), medium (3) or small (2) feeder
tube, depending on the size of the vegetables you are going to
chop/slice. Select the corresponding pusher that matches the size
of the feeder tube opening. See explanation in the table below.
•The locking ring (4) fixed around the medium-sized feeder tube is
equipped with a tab that acts as an on/off button. The tab should
be fitted into the recess around the activation pin (10) on the motor
unit before the appliance can be started. The appliance is
designed so that this part is always used, either as a feeder tube or
as a part of the large pusher.
•The appliance is now ready for use.
