the top piece into wedges to fit
the feed tube. The 2mm Slicing
Disc or the optional 1mm Slicing
Disc is excellent for slicing
cabbage for coleslaw.
If the fruit or vegetable
doesn’t fit
Try inserting it from the bottom
of the feed tube. The opening
there is slightly larger. Do not
force any food into the feed tube.
Pack the feed tube for
desired results
For long slices or shreds, cut the
food into feed tube widths and
pack the pieces horizontally.
For small, round slices or short
shreds from carrots, zucchini and
other long vegetables, cut them
into feed tube heights and pack
them tightly upright.
Food should fit snugly, but not so
tight that it prevents the pusher
from moving.
When slicing or shredding food,
always use the pusher. Never put
your fingers or a spatula into the
feed tube.
Never push down hard on the
pusher. Use light pressure for soft
f ruits and vegetables like bananas,
mushrooms, strawberries and
tomatoes, and for all cheeses.
Use medium pressure for most
food - apples, celery, citrus fru i t ,
p o t a t o e s and zucchini. Use firm
pressure for really hard vegetables
like carro t s and yams.
