Detailed Instructions… A Recipe, Instruction Booklet is included with purchase, and all of our cookbooks have specific instructions with each recipe relating to the use of your Food Cutter. Cleaning Your Food Cutter… Before First Use; although your new Kitchen Machine food cutter is bright and shiny, there still may be some residual polishing compounds and machine oils from manufacturing. To clean before first use, prepare a basin of warm soapy water with 1 cup of white distilled vinegar added. Submerge Food Cutter and Cutting Cones for 5 to 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and dry. Ordinary dishwashing is sufficient for your food cutter. It will not pit, peel, rust, stain or chip. Wash with soup and water, rinse and dry with soft cloth to keep the mirror-like shine. Keep bottom suction-cup area clean and free of grease. It’s dishwasher safe, but should be placed on the top rack of your dishwasher, as the high heat of some new style dishwashers may damage the suction-cup. Usually rinsing under running water immediately after use is all that’s necessary. Your Food Cutter has a sealed bearing and does not require oiling. |

To Use Your Food Cutter… The food cutter can be attached firmly to any clean non-porous surface, such as Formica, Granite, etc... To lock base, turn suction cup lever from right to left. This will create a suction which locks base on to the flat surface. To release the base, pull lever up. If necessary, lift suction pad with finger to help release any remaining suction pressure. Slide Food Guide onto hopper. The Food Guide helps to position the food perpendicular to the cutting cone blades to ensure best cutting results. |
||
To Loosen the Food Cutter from countertop… To loosen from work surface, turn the bottom lever from front to back (or right to left), and the suction cup will release. To Attach Cutting Cones… Hold the open end of the cone in your left hand; place the center hole of the cone blade on the center pin of the clutch disk. Turn the handle clockwise to engage clutch lugs in six holes of cone blade. Place bowl directly under the slicing cone to catch food. To Remove Cone Blades… Hold open end of cone blade firmly in left hand being careful to avoid sharp cutting edges, and turn handle counterclockwise. CAUTION: Cutting Cone Blades are very sharp. Handle carefully when washing and using. Always use Protective Food Guide when cutting. |

Food Guide… The Food Guide has been designed to make cutting easier, enabling you to make perfect cuts of fruits and vegetables while eliminating waste. It can be used with all cones, but is especially recommended to be used when slicing with the #4 Slicer and the #5 Waffle cutting cones. Attach the Food Guide to the Kitchen Machine by sliding it onto the hopper until is securely fastened (see video). To remove, slide the guide toward you. Do not twist or pull Food Guide upward. To ensure even cuts, guide the food directly into the cutting cone, holding it upright and perpendicular to the cutting cone, resting the food on the front edge of the Food Guide. Exert a slight downward pressure as you turn the handle at a consistent speed. Larger vegetables and fruits can be cut effective without using the food guide, as follows. |
