5. Operating Instructions

This accessory is designed for slicing and grating vegetables. Always ensure the Thermomix is set to the appropriate speed for cutting, typically a low to medium speed, and refer to your Thermomix manual for specific speed recommendations for accessories.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and peel vegetables as needed. Cut larger vegetables into pieces that fit comfortably into the feeder chute.
2. Start Thermomix: Turn on your Thermomix and select the desired speed setting for cutting.
3. Feed Vegetables: Carefully place the prepared vegetables into the feeder chute. Use the food pusher to gently guide them towards the rotating blade. Never use your fingers or other utensils.
4. Monitor Progress: Observe the cutting process through the transparent lid. The cut vegetables will collect in the bowl below the blade.
5. Finish: Once all vegetables are processed or the desired quantity is reached, turn off the Thermomix. Wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the lid.
