Hi Joleen, I moped around felt around but I couldn't find that slider. I asked a few people to look for it and they couldn't find it either. Are you willing to try again. I'm surprised that there wasn't any manual or description otherwise how would one know about it. I'm usually pretty good at finding these hideaways but failed miserably on this one. Eugenio
