FOOD CHUTE

3. QUALITY
*
Fresh, crisp or firm fruits and vegetables process best. That doesn
t
mean you can't use up an old carrot or limp piece of celery, but you should
not expect the same results as with fresh produce.

1. LOADING OF FOOD CHUTE
*
When processing long narrow foods, pack Chute so food will stand
upright, by alternating thick and thin ends (P).
*
To process a single food, position it on the left side of the Chute (OFF
Button side). Hold it in place with the Pusher. The clockwise rotation of
the Disc pushes the food against the left wall of the Chute, whic h helps to
hold food upright.
*
For long shreds or slices, arrange 2 1/2 inch food pieces horlzontal!y in
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 slightly larger than the top, 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 upright directly on
the Disc to simplify arrangement. Then carefully position Food Chute
over them and slice.
2. USING THE FOOD PUSHER
*
Posit ion food in the Chute and hold Food Pusher over the food before
turning Processor on.
*
The amount of pressure you should apply on the Pusher varies
depending on the firmness of t he food you are slicing or shredding and
the results desired. For most foods, steady, even pressure is needed.
Press down lightly on food with Food Pusher. Let the Food Processor do
the work. HEAVY PRESSURE WILL NOT SPEED UP processi11g.
