1. LOADING OF FOOD CHUTE
* When pr ocessing long narrow foods, pack Chute so food will stand
upright,
by alternati ng thick and thin ends (P).
* To process a single food, position it on the leftside of the Chute (OFF
Button side). Hold it in place with the Pusher. The clockwise rota tion of
t he Discpushesthe food against the leftwall of theChute, wh ichhelps to
hold food upright.
* For longshreds orslices, arrange2 1/2 inch foodpieces ho rlzontal!yin
the Chute. These are attractive in salads, Oriental dishes and vegetable
dips (Q).
* For foods that don't seem to fit the Chute, try loading Chute froM the
bottom when slicing. Bottom
of Chute is slight ly larger than thetop, so
food which won 't f it the top may fit the bottom. For neater slices -.;uta
sr. 1all slice off one end of food so it rests flat on Disc.
* Place small foods, or short pieces, which will stand up ri ght directly on
the Disc to simplify arrangement. Then carefully position Food Chute
over them and slice.
2. USING THE FOOD PUSHER
* Position food in the Chute and hold Food Pusheroverthe food before
turning Processor on.
* The amo un t of pressure yo u should app ly on the Pusher varies
depending
on the firm ne ss of the food you ar e slicing or shredding and
th e results desired. For most foods, steady, even pressure is needed.
Press d
own lightly on food with Food Pusher. Letthe Food Processor do
the work. HEAVY PRESSURE WILL NOT SPEED UP processi11g.
15

* Use firm pressure on ne Food Pusher for hard foo ds ,suchas lemons.
Alw ays be sure to position the Pusher before starting to process
* Light pressure should be used for soft foods, such as strawberries.
Cuc umbers and potatoes wi ll self-feed with o ut pressure for thinner. but
slig htly irregular pieces.
* W ith some foods, such as hard or medium-hard cheeses, use a press
dow n, then release motion with the Food Pusher instead of constant
press
ur e.
* To slice partially frozen meat, use firm pressure on Pusher. Result is
thi
nl y s li ced meat for casseroles and stir-fries.
