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.
4. Follow instructions under Cover Operation
to lock cover onto work bowl.
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 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).
