••• Jo. • Pack the food chute tightly when using the slicer disc for vegetables such as carrots • I or potatoes. Cut a slice off the end of the vegetable so it is flat against the disc. This will produce round cuts rather than elongated ones. • When processing smaller amounts, such as one carrot, cut in pieces to fill up the ti chute. If food is put into the chute loosely, it may tip over and slices will be elongat- ed, or on an angle, rather than round. • When slicing or shredding one item, such as one carrot or cucumber, position food against the right side of chute and hold firmly in place with the food pusher. The counterclockwise rotation of the disc will push the food against the right side of the chute, which helps hold the food upright for better results. • Use moderate pressure to feed harder foods (carrots, potatoes) through the slicer/shredder disc; use lighter pressure for delicate foods (strawberries, bananas). Never force food through disc. • The bottom of the chute is slightly larger than the top. You may wish to place wider foods like cucumbers, potatoes or onions in the bottom of the chute, then hold them in place as you put the cover on the unit. Making Julienne Cuts of Vegetables Use the Slicer Disc to make "matchstick" cuts of vegetables such as potatoes, summer squash, carrots and beets. Pack chute tightly with food and process. Then remove slices and wedge a stack of slices in chute with cuts positioned vertically. Slice again to make matchstick-shaped pieces. Processing Sausages and Similar Foods Select thin items that will fit the chute. These slice best if chilled. Raw meat must be partially frozen.
