Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Wash Before First Use: Before initial use, wash all components (main grater unit, collection container, food holder, and inserts) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. All parts are dishwasher safe.
3. Assemble Container: Place the main grater unit securely onto the clear collection container. Ensure it sits firmly to prevent movement during use.
4. Insert Grating Blade: Select the desired grating or slicing insert. Slide the chosen insert into the slot on the main grater unit until it clicks into place. Ensure it is fully seated and stable.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective use of your Emsa Multi-Grater:

1. Prepare Food: Wash and peel the fruit or vegetable you intend to grate or slice. Cut it into pieces that fit comfortably into the food holder.
2. Secure Grater: Place the assembled grater on a stable, flat surface. The non-slip base of the collection container helps keep it steady.
3. Use Food Holder: Place the food item into the food holder. Position the food holder over the chosen grating insert.
4. Grating/Slicing: Apply gentle, even pressure to the food holder and move it back and forth over the grating insert. The sharp blades will quickly process the food, and the grated or sliced pieces will fall directly into the collection container below. Always use the food holder to protect your fingers.
5. Empty Container: Once you have grated the desired amount or the container is full, carefully lift the main grater unit off the collection container and empty the contents.

Safety Precautions:

• Always use the food holder to protect your fingers from the sharp blades.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Handle inserts with care as blades are very sharp.
• Do not attempt to grate extremely hard foods that may damage the blades.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your Emsa Multi-Grater.

• Disassembly: After each use, disassemble the grater by removing the food holder, the grating insert, and separating the main grater unit from the collection container.
• Washing: All components are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a brush to remove any food particles from the blades. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
• Storage: Store all components together in a safe place to prevent loss and protect the blades.
