hints

• For best results, use raw fresh fruit and vegetables.
• If processing cooked vegetables, refrigeration overnight is recommended.
• Don't cut food up, just trim to fit the feed tube. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing and will give optimum results. Alternatively, use the small feed tube.

● Always remove pips or bones etc., from food before processing.

Note:

• Due to the various sizes and shapes of foods, the diced results will contain some misshapen pieces, this is normal.
• Some foods such as chorizo and Feta cheese are not recommended for use with this attachment.

cleaning

● Always switch off and unplug before removing the attachment from the appliance.
- Dismantle the attachment fully before cleaning.
- For easier cleaning always wash the parts immediately after use.
- Handle the cutting discs with care – they are extremely sharp.
- Use the cleaning tool to dislodge any food which may become trapped in the dicing grid. Push the food out from underneath the dicing grid ⑦.
- Never immerse the gearbox assembly in water or allow it to get wet.

All remaining parts can be washed in hot soapy water, then dried thoroughly. Take care as the cutting discs are sharp. Alternatively wash in the dishwasher (top rack only).
