• Operate the dicing disk on LOW speed.
• It is recommended to stop dicing when workbowl is 60% full.
• Blade must be removed from the top of the disk before using the cleanout
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 multiple ingredients, dice softer foods first and end with
hardest food.
• When dicing soft cheese, 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 them first.
• Firm, seedless cucumbers work best.

Important: The slicing disk can only be used with the large workbowl. Only
run the processor on MEDIUM or LOW speed when using the slicing disk. DO
NOT use slicing disk with small workbowl.
1. Lock the large workbowl into position on base.
2. Carefully place the slicing disk onto center post in workbowl. You may
need to rotate disk slightly until 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 food pusher.
Note: Position slicing disk just to the right of the feed chute. This allows the
blade a full rotation before contacting the food.
4. To adjust the slicing thickness, move the lever at
the base of feed chute forward and backwards to
desired thickness setting (1-5mm). 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 firmly on food
pusher to guide food through processor.
Note: Heavy pressure on the pusher does not speed the work; use the pusher
only as a guide. Let the processor do the work. Pushing too hard may result in
inconsistent slicing thickness.
Note: It is possible to change the thickness of your slices by changing
