DICING GUIDE

*Kiwi, avocado and tomatoes are to be used on LOW setting. Always dice food in the order of soft to hard.

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 for best results. 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).
