different in that it is equipped with a sloping tube
especially designed for slanted cutting.
No special tool is required to attach these hoppers
onto the disc.
• AUTOMATIC FEED-HEAD
This hopper is intended for
continuous cutting tasks.
It is ideal for slicing
delicate vegetables such as
mushrooms and tomatoes,
grating carrots, slicing
potatoes and cutting french
fries, to mention but a few of its uses.
This hopper is not suitable for certain specific tasks,
such as :
- slicing long vegetables (use the hole feed-heads).
- preparing bulky vegetables which are too big
to be fed into this hopper (use the pusher feed-
head).
Make sure that the agitator is in place, in order to
avoid blockages and variations in cutting quality.
It is vital that this tool be fitted each time the
automatic hopper is used.
Two types of tool are designed for the lever-type
hopper: :
1) The agitator, which guides the
vegetables (except for cabbage)
towards the blades.
2) The hollowing cutter used only
to prepare cabbage
A special tool for unlocking
the cabbage corer.

Grating discs deteriorate over time. We recommend
you replace them from time to time, in order to
maintain consistently high cutting quality
CLEANING
After removing the head of the vegetable
preparation machine, take off the disc, followed by
the grid and discharge plate where necessary.
Dishwashers are best avoided in order to prevent
the aluminium from becoming tarnished. Instead we
recommend that you clean the machine by hand using
washing-up liquid.
If you do put your machine in a dishwasher, we sug-
gest that you use a detergent designed specially for
