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 grid positioned closest to the
front of the food processor. Be sure "This Side
Up" shows on top. The cutting grid should be
facing with the triangle on front of the grid,
aligned with the center of the work bowl
handle. Dicer will not work if inserted incorrectly.
3. Carefully place dicing blade on top of grid.
Push down slightly to lock into place.
It should not move if positioned accurately.
NOTE: Always use caution when handling the
dicing blade; it is very sharp.

Using Dicing Kit
• The dicing disc and 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 cleaning tool to clear the 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 carrots, squash
and potatoes, clean the grid every 3 to 4 times
to prevent buildup.
• When large pieces of food remnants are lying
between the grid and disc, use caution when
cleaning off the remains by using the gaps featured
to the right and left of the grid.
NOTE:
We do not recommend dicing frozen
foods and meats.
For dicing use medium or small
pusher only.
TIP:
Always process foods from soft (kiwi)
to hard (potato).
