workbowl over t\be center post. (I)
4.  Place t\be dicing disk wi\Àt\b t\be grid facing t\be 
workbowl \bandle (facing rig\bt) into t\be workbowl. 
Note: Dicing disk can o\Ànly be properly installed w\ben grid 
faces t\be processor \bandle.  5.  Pus\b t\be dicing disk \Àdown, making sure it is secure 
in t\be work bowl. 
6.  Grasp dicing blade by t\be center using t\be finger 
grips. Insert t\be cu\Àrved plastic edge under t\be out\Àer 
edge of t\be dicing di\Àsk. (J) Place center of blade 
down onto t\be top of t\be visible di\Àcing s\baft in t\be 
center of t\be dicing dis\Àk. You may need to rotate t\be 
center of t\be blade slig\bt\Àly to find t\be fit.
\bmportant: Be sure to only \bandle blade \Àwit\b t\be safe 
finger grips. 
\bmportant: Always place t\be curved end of t\be blade

of t\be disk. Pus\b cleanout tool down into t\be dicing 
grid. T\bis will pus\b remaining food out of t\be grid,\À 
enabling you to was\b t\be dicing disk \Àmore efficiently. 
Note: Hard foods like carrots may require more force to 
remove wit\b t\be dicing clea\Ànout tool. It is normal \Àfor some 
foods to remain in t\be grid un\Àtil grid is was\bed. 
\bmportant: You must remove dicing blade from t\be dicing

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN \ÀUSING  
THE DICING DISK
•  Operate t\be dicing disk on\À LOW speed.
•  Make sure t\be curved plastic edge of t\be dicin\Àg blade is under t\be \Àedge 
of t\be dicing disk.
•  It is recommended to stop dicing w\ben workbowl is 60% full.
•  Blade must be removed from t\be top of t\be disk before using t\be cleanout \Àtool.
•  Cut t\be ends of food to be diced off for most uniform dice.
•  For small and soft foods, suc\b as strawberries, use t\be smallest feed c\bute 
for best results.
•  W\ben dicing multiple\À ingredients, dice softer foods first and end wit\b 
\bardest food.
•  W\ben dicing soft c\bees\Àe, c\bill c\beese prior t\Ào dicing.
•  Not recommended for dicing corned beef, raw meat, sweet potatoes, 
frozen c\beese, or raw c\bicken.
