4.Process using the START/PAUSE button whilst at same time, gently guiding the food down the feed chute using the food pusher. Never force the food down as this will damage the discs.
Apply light pressure for soft foods such as tomatoes and bananas; medium pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes and apples; and firm pressure for hard foods such deli meats
and salami.
5.Repeat this process until all food has been sliced, shredded or grated.
Round fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling, and coring or seeding (if necessary). For small fruit and vegetables (e.g. kiwi fruit, roma tomatoes), trim one end so the food sits flat in the feed chute.
For large fruit and vegetables (e.g. apples), cut in half (if required) to fit in the feed chute. Pack into the feed chute with the adjustable slicing disc at the slot number required for the thickness.

Long fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetables by washing or peeling. First cut the food to fit the length of the feed chute (no more than 9cm high if loading vertically, 14cm long if loading horizontally). If food fits without the need to cut, trim one end so that it sits flat in feed chute or the food should be able to lie on the side if you require a long thin slice of vegetable or fruit.
Pack food vertically or horizontally, into the feed chute with cut side facing disc.
The small feed chute can be used for long vegetables such as carrots and zucchini.
