FOOD PREPARATION
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required.
Remove pits, stones, and large seeds.
• Cut vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc. into sizes that will fit into your choice of small feed tube or large feed
tube for processing with accessory discs, or into sizes required by your processing task.
• Preparation for Slicing. Produce that is long and cylindrical such as carrots, cucumbers and celery should
be cut flat at both ends. This will provide a consistent slice for all food processed.
FOOD PUSHER SELECTION
S-Blade Usage
Pushers are not required when processing in the bottom of the work bowl with the S-Blade. However, the
Feed Tube can be used for adding ingredients while the food processor is running. It is recommended that
the Food Pushers be left in place to prevent splashing and avoid unwanted additions to the work bowl.
Small Pusher
This pusher with smaller chute is typically used when inserting vegetables vertically for smaller cuts. It
should be used when slicing foods such as carrots, celery, pepperoni, etc. when a consistent, flat, result is
desired. This pusher is also desired when a shorter grate or shred is desired as opposed to a longer shred
using the larger feed tube and pusher.
The small pusher can be used with the julienne blade for vertical insertions that result in finely chopped
products such as onions or celery.
Large Pusher
This pusher with larger chute is typically used when inserting vegetables horizontally for longer cuts.
This pusher is used when a longer grate or shred is desired, such as long shreds or juliennes of peppers
or carrots. It is also used when processing large volumes of food or bulky food items such as potatoes
or onions.
Special Note: The Continuous Feed Bowl and the Batch Bowl (Work Bowl) use the same food pushers.
They are interchangeable.
