Before using the appliance for the first time

Before the new appliance can be used, it must be fully unpacked, cleaned and checked.

Never operate a damaged appliance!

• Remove the base unit and all accessories from the packaging and dispose of the packing materials.
• Check that all parts are present and examine them for obvious damage. See Fig. A
• Thoroughly clean and dry all parts before using for the first time. See "Cleaning and maintenance".

Parts and operating controls

The bowl, lid / jug of the universal cutter and the blender jug are not suitable for use in the microwave.

Colour coding

The appliance has a 2 or 3-speed drive (depending on the model). Every speed setting is identified with a different colour (black, grey and red). This colour coding system can also be found on the accessories. The accessories are automatically connected to the right speed setting.

Low speed, black with drive shaft 2 For using the dicer.

Medium speed, grey with drive shaft 1 For using the cutting discs, citrus press and juice centrifuge.

High speed, red without drive shaft For using the blender and universal cutter.

Rotary switch with illuminated ring

Guidelines for usage

• The dicer is only suitable for cutting potatoes (raw or boiled), carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, onions, bananas, apples, pears, strawberries, melons, kiwifruit, eggs, soft sausage (e.g. mortadella), boiled or fried boneless poultry meat.
• Very soft cheese (e.g. mozzarella, sheep's cheese) cannot be processed. In the case of sliced cheese (e.g. Gouda) and hard cheese (e.g. Emmental), the quantity processed in one cycle must not exceed 3 kg.
• Before processing pip and stone fruit (apples, peaches, etc.), remove the pips or stones.
• Before processing boiled or fried meat, remove the bones.
• Food must not be frozen.

• If these guidelines are not observed, the dicer including the cutting grid and the rotating blade may be damaged.
• If the dicer is not used as intended, is modified or used improperly, Robert Bosch Hausgeräte GmbH cannot assume liability for any resulting damage. Also excluded is liability for damage (e.g. blunt or deformed blades) which result from processing unapproved food.

• Food must not contain any bones, pips or other solid constituents.
• Fruit / vegetables should not be too ripe as the juice may otherwise escape.
• Leave cooked food to cool down before dicing it as it will then be firmer and the dicing result will be better.
• The length of the cubes can be influenced by increasing or reducing the pressure on the pusher when pushing down.
• The dicer will not operate until the lid is screwed on tight.

Select the operating speed depending on the food to be diced.

When working with the dicer, never use intermittent operation (Pulse).

Low operating speed (min): boiled potatoes, carrots, eggs, cucumbers, bananas, strawberries, melons.

Medium operating speed: raw potatoes and carrots, soft sausage (e.g. mortadella), sliced cheese, hard cheese, peppers, tomatoes, onions, apples, kiwifruit.

1. Insert the cutting grid in the base holder. Observe the recesses.
   
2. Insert the slicing disc with the blade guard in the base holder.
   
3. Press in the 3 catches until they engage.
