Long fruit and vegetables
Prepare fruit or vegetable by washing or
peeling. Cut the food to fit the length of the
food chute (no more than 10cm). If food fits
without needing to cut it, trim one end so that it
sits flat in food chute.
Pack food vertically into the food chute with cut
side facing disc.
For more controlled slicing of long thinner
vegetables insert the large food pusher into the
food chute, remove the small food pusher and
use to guide food down narrower opening of
the large food chute.
