DICING

Assembling the Dicer in Work Bowl
1. With Large Work Bowl on base,
insert Stem Adapter.
2. Carefully place Dicing Grid onto
the Stem Adapter with the Dicing
Grid positioned closest to the
front of the food processor. Be sure "This Side
Up" shows on top. The triangle on front of the
Grid should be aligned with the center of the
work bowl handle. Dicer will not work if
inserted incorrectly.
3. Carefully place Dicing Disc on
top of Dicing Grid. Push down
slightly to lock into place. It
should not move if positioned
accurately. NOTE: Always use
caution when handling the
Dicing Disc; they are very sharp.

DICING GUIDE
TIP: To avoid overflow of food, please note recommended max capacity (chart on page 2) for each type
of food. All capacities are not equal.
FOOD
Most Vegetables (e.g., Potato, Zucchini)
Soft/Very Ripe Vegetables
(e.g., Ripe Tomatoes and Avocados)
Most Fruits
(e.g., Apples, Bananas, Strawberries)
Soft/Very Ripe Fruits (e.g., Kiwi, Ripe Pineapple,
Very Ripe Bananas)
Using Dicing Kit
• The Dicing Disc and Dicing Grid make
cubed pieces of fruit and vegetables. The
recommended speed for dicing most fruits and
vegetables is High. Use Low speed when dealing
with very soft items such as kiwi.
• When dicing, only use the medium or small feed
tube. Be sure to pack single items tightly, to the
left of the feed tube using consistent downward
pressure.
• Use the Dicing Grid Cleaning Tool to clear the
Dicing Grid. First dislodge jammed particles using
the long single tooth on the handle. Then align
the two long pins along the right and left of the
Grid. Guide the cleaner into the correct position
and press down to clear the Grid of food residue.
• When processing items like squash and
potatoes, clean the Dicing Grid every 3 to 4
times to prevent buildup.
• When large pieces of food remnants are lying
between the Dicing Grid and Dicing Disc, use
caution when cleaning off the remains by using
the gaps featured to the right and left of the
Dicing Grid.
NOTE:
We do not recommend dicing frozen foods
and meats.
For dicing, use Medium or Small Pusher
only.
