USING THE DICING D\ÀISK (ORANGE)
\bmportant: The dicing disk can\À only be used with\À the 
large workbowl. Only run the p\Àrocessor on LOW speed 
when using the dic\Àing disk. DO NOT use dicing disk \Àwith 
small workbowl. 1.  Lock workbowl onto base.
\b.  Place the dicing shaft\À into the bottom of the dicing 
disk and turn cloc\Àkwise to lock it into place. (F)
3.  Carefully pick up the\À dicing assembly using the fi\Ànger 
holes in the top of the disk and\À place in the workbowl 
over the center post. (G)
4.  Place the dicing disk \Àwith the grid facing the F
G
E       
						

							9
workbowl handle (facing right) into the workbowl. 
Dicing disk can on\Àly be properly installed when grid 
faces the processor handle. 
5.  Push the dicing dis\Àk down, making sure it is secure in 
the work bowl. 
6.  Grasp dicing blade b\Ày the center using the finger\À 
grips. Insert the \Àcurved plastic edge under the\À outer 
edge of the dicing\À disk. (H) Place center of blade 
down onto the top of the visible d\Àicing shaft in the\À 
center of the dicing d\Àisk. You may need to rotate the center of the blade 
slightly to find the fit.
\bmportant: Be sure to only handle blad\Àe with the safe finger grips. 
\bmportant: Always place the curved end of the blad\Àe under the lip of\À the dicing 
disk FIRST and then place the center of the blade on\À the center post of disk.  7.  Place the lid on the f\Àood processor and lock into place. Place the 
ingredients to be diced into the feed chute. Turn the processor on LOW 
speed and use the \Àfood pusher to guide ingredients down. 
\bmportant: Do not use the di\Àcing disk on MEDIU\ÀM or 
HIGH speed. Only u\Àse LOW speed for best results. 8.  After dicing and turn\Àing the processor off, unplug, then 
remove the lid and carefully lift the bl\Àade off the center 
post by lifting center of blade first, then pulling th\Àe 
curved edge up and away from the work bowl lip. (I)
\bmportant: You must remove dicing blade from the dicing 
disk before using the dicing\À cleanout tool. Do not use th\Àe 
cleanout tool if the dicing \Àdisk is not in the\À workbowl.  9.  Prior to removing the dicing dis\Àk from the workbowl, 
place the dicing clean\Àout tool in the holes o\Àn the 
dicing disk, align\Àing the outer posts with the outer 
notches (J). The curved edge of the cle\Àanout 
tool aligns with th\Àe curved edge of the dis\Àk. Push 
cleanout tool down into the dicing grid.\À This will 
push remaining food out of the gri\Àd, enabling you to 
wash the dicing dis\Àk more efficiently. 
Note: Hard foods like carrots may require more force to 
remove with the dicing \Àcleanout tool. It is normal \Àfor some 
foods to remain in the grid \Àuntil grid is washed.  10.  Using the finger ho\Àles in the top of the dicing d\Àisk, 
lift the disk straight up to remove the disk from the 
food processor. Empty workbowl. (K)
11.  Remove the dicing shaft\À from the dicing disk\À by 
turning counterclockwise. H

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN \ÀUSING 
THE DICING DISK
•  Operate the dicing disk \Àon LOW speed.
•  It is recommended to stop dicing when workbowl is 60% full.
•   Blade must be removed from the top of the disk bef\Àore using the cleano\Àut 
tool.
•  Cut the ends of food to be diced off for most uniform dice.
•  For small and soft foods, such as strawberries, use the smallest feed chute 
for best results.
•  When dicing multip\Àle ingredients, dice softer foods first and end with 
hardest food.
•  When dicing soft c\Àheese, chill or freeze cheese prior to dicing.
•  Not recommended for dicing corned beef, raw meat, or chicken.
•  When dicing tomatoes, it is recommended to seed and peel th\Àem first.
•  Firm, seedless cucumbers work best.
USING THE SLICING \ÀDISK (GREEN)
\bmportant: The slicing disk ca\Àn only be used wit\Àh the large workbowl. Only 
run the processor on MEDIUM or L\ÀOW speed when using\À the slicing disk.\À DO 
NOT use slicing disk\À with small workbowl.  
1.  Lock the large workbowl into position on base\À.
\b.  Carefully place the slicing disk\À onto center post in workbowl.  You may 
need to rotate disk slightly un\Àtil it fits onto post.
3.  Place lid on workbowl and lock into place by rotating counterclockwise. Place 
the food pushers into the feed chute. Put ingredients in the feed chute and 
guide food down towards blade with the \Àfood pusher. 
Note: Position slicing di\Àsk just to the right of the\À feed chute.  This allows the 
blade a full rotation before contacting the food. 4.  To adjust the slicing thic\Àkness, move the lever at 
the base of feed chute forward and backwards to 
desired thickness setting (1-5mm). \À Turn the lever 
counterclockwise towards the front of the food 
processor for thicker slices and clockwise towards 
the back of the food processor for thinner slices. You 
are able to adjust thickness while the processor is 
running. (L)
5.  Press MEDIUM or LOW speed to slice; press lightly but firml\Ày on food 
pusher to guide food through processor.
Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher do\Àes not speed the w\Àork; use the pushe\Àr 
only as a guide. Let the processor do the work. Pushing too hard may result in 
inconsistent slicing thickn\Àess. 
Note: It is possible to change the thick\Àness of your slices by changing 
L
