Slicing Operation
Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large
seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute. Foods such as carrots, cucumbers, etc., should
be cut flat at both ends to provide a consistent slice throughout the whole product. With foods like cab-
bage, lettuce or any product that has an undesirable core, the core should be removed. Medium size cab-
bage or lettuce heads may be cut into thirds to fit in the feed chute. Larger heads may need to be quar-
tered. When food preparation is complete, fill the chosen feed chute, put the pusher in place, turn the
machine on and monitor the results.
