For all foods, pack the food chute firmly to ensure even results. Although firm pressure on the food
pusher is recommended for some foods, do not press hard as the disc may jam.
Use the food pusher with the measuring cup inserted when using the slicing disc. Use speeds 2-3
for best results when slicing. However, to support narrow food items, when slicing, insert the food
pusher into the food chute. Insert the food and use the measuring cup as the food pusher.
