Dicing
(8, 12, 16mm)
IMPORTANT NOTE
IMPORTANT NOTES
For optimal results, position food in the chute
and use the pusher to push food with light
downward force prior to starting the food
processor.
Always use the small or medium size feed
chute for processing hard produce like
pumpkin and sweet potato. Feeding hard
produce through the large feed chute could
cause damage to the disks.
Smaller Ingredients
For long thin foods such as carrots, cucumbers,
zucchini, etc., use the small or medium feed
chute. This will avoid the ingredient from
tipping over, during slicing.
Larger Ingredients
The wide feed chute is 5.5 inches wide and can
fit ingredients up to this size. The food should
fit snugly so it is supported in an upright
position in the chute, but not so tight that it
could prevent the food from moving down the
chute. Ensure not to overfill the chute, as the
pusher will not activate the interlock safety
catch if the chute is too full. Do not fill over the
MAX indicator.
•
Raw and cooked vegetables
and fruits
•
Use small or medium feed chutes for harder
ingredients such as carrot or pumpkin. To
further improve results you can also pre cook.
•
When dicing tomatoes, avocadoes firmer fruit
will give a better result
•
Always use the Dicing Distributor assembled
to the Geared Spindle. This will keep the area
underneath the chute clear and prevent
blockages.
Due to the harder and more fibrous nature;
DO NOT DICE the following:
•
Cheese
•
Raw sweet potato/kumara.
•
Meat including hard deli meats.
•
Fruit and vegetables with tough skin such as pineapple
and watermelon. These should be peeled first.
Pressure
When processing, never force the food down
the chute as this can damage the disks. Apply
light, even pressure for soft foods such as
tomatoes and bananas. Apply medium, even
pressure for firmer foods such as potatoes,
cheese, deli meats and apples.
Mini Bowl
The mini processing bowl is used inside the
main processing bowl. It is for better control
when processing small quantities of food, or
herbs. Use the mini-spindle with the mini bowl
and then add the mini-blade for chopping,
mixing and blending a variety of ingredients.
Alternatively, the 'Adjustable Slicing',
Shredding or French Fries disks can be used on
the mini-spindle to process smaller quantities
into the mini bowl.
Dicing kit
Do not dice raw sweet potato/Kumara. Its dry,
hard and fibrous nature may cause damage to
the bowl and lid due to heavy load.
Do not fill the Bowl with ingredients above the
MAX level on the side of the Bowl.
Do not assemble the cutting disc onto the
gearbox without the grid in place.
Always use the Dicing Distributor on the
gearbox.
