Els fitxers adjunts i els seus usos

• S-Blade (Micro-Serrated): Ideal for chopping, mincing, and blending ingredients. To use, lock it onto the spindle by holding the spindle and turning clockwise until firm, then place it into the bowl. Be careful not to over-process ingredients due to its efficiency.
• Fulla de massa: Designed for kneading dough. Its plastic edges create a softer action, encouraging dough to stretch rather than cut, perfect for bread and pastry. Lock it onto the spindle similar to the S-blade.
• Disc de trituració reversible: Features two sizes for shredding. The larger pattern is suitable for grating fruits, vegetables, or soft cheeses like mozzarella. The finer pattern is ideal for hard cheeses such as Parmesan. To use, insert the spindle into the bowl, then place the shredding disc on top. Flip the disc over to switch between fine and coarse shredding.
• Disc de tall ajustable: Allows for precise slicing from 1mm to 5mm thickness. Adjust the slice thickness by twisting the mechanism on the disc. Insert the spindle, then place the slicing disc on top. This disc can quickly slice delicate fruits and vegetables.
• French Fry Disc: Specifically designed to create uniform French fry cuts.
• Mini Blade & Bowl: For processing smaller quantities of ingredients without needing to use the full-sized bowl.

Extra Large 3-in-1 Feed Chute

The food processor features an extra-large 5.5-inch feed chute designed to accommodate various shapes and sizes of ingredients, reducing the need for pre-prepping. It includes options ranging from 1.7 inches to 5.5 inches. Always use the chute size that best fits your ingredients for optimal results and a snug fit.
