size feed tube you want to use.
To use the small feed tube
- first put the
large pusher inside the feed tube. Use for
individual thin ingredients.
Do not use the small pusher without the
larger pusher fitted, otherwise you may
damage the bottom of the pusher.

never put your fingers in the
feed tube.

Do not cut food too small. Fill the width of
the feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food
from slipping sideways during processing.
O
When slicing or grating: food placed
upright comes out shorter than food placed
horizontally.
O
There will always be a small amount of waste
on the disc or in the bowl after processing.
