3 The Nicer Dicer Fusion in practical use
Insert the cutting top at an angle of 90° (vertically) to the cutting base in
the side slots provided. The cutting lid has an opening mechanism with 3
settings.
There are different pin blocks and a cutting stamp for the various blade
inserts to achieve the best possible cutting results.
There is an integrated pin block (A) in the cutting top. There are also two
detachable pin blocks (B) (large and small), which can be fixed in place
next to the integrated pin block.
They are fixed as follows:
There is a cross-shaped recess next to the integrated pin block. On the
back of each detachable pin block and the cutting stamp, there is a cross-
shaped mounting. Push the mounting on the pin block or cutting stamp
into the recess with gentle pressure until the block or stamp is fixed in
place and ready to use.
The automatic opening and closing mechanism can be set by means of
two pins (A) in three positions. Lock the protruding pins to achieve the
required setting (B):
• Setting 1 = pins not locked: no automatic lid opening
• Setting 2 = one pin locked: slow automatic lid opening
• Setting 3 = both pins locked: fast automatic lid opening
Use of the detachable pin block and cutting stamp:
XXL blade with continuous cutting surface (for explanation, see 3.2)
-Detachable pin block (large) must also be used.
Blade insert for cutting into quarters/eighths (for explanation, see 3.3)
-Cutting stamp must also be used.

3.1 Blade inserts with 2 different cutting surfaces
The blade inserts have 2 different cutting surfaces, referred to as position 1
and 2 in these Instructions for Use (see figure). Food can be cut on both
surfaces and it is possible to cut two different ingredients at the same time.
The following should be noted in this connection:
If one of the ingredients to be cut is harder than the other, place the
harder one in position 1 (greater leverage).
If one of the ingredients to be cut is larger than the other, place it in
position 2 (longer lever travel).

Place the cutting lid on the collecting container. Lift cutting top to insert
the blade required. Feed it into the cutting top so that the slightly rounded
narrow side of the blade insert is positioned in the corresponding recess
in the frame of the cutting base. Then push down the other side of the
blade insert until you hear a “click”. The blade insert is now securely
locked in place.
Place the food to be cut on the required cutting surface. For large pieces
or those to be cut in an upright position, hold the food in place with your
hand and press lightly on the cutting top so that the food cannot slip.
If you wish to use both of the cutting surfaces at the same time, the
(small) detachable pin block must be put in place rst (see “Inserting the
detachable pin block and cutting stamp”). If you only wish to use one
cutting surface without inserting the detachable pin block, the cutting
surface required must be in position 1.
Push down rmly on the cutting top with both hands. The food is pushed
through the blades, cut into even dice, sticks or slices (depending on the
blade insert) and automatically collected in the collecting container. If you
have locked one or both of the pins in the cutting top, the lid will open
automatically.
To remove the cut food, simply lift the entire cutting lid (cutting top and
base) on one of the shorter sides and remove. Hold the collecting
container with the other hand as you do so.
3.2 Blade inserts with continuous cutting surfaces (XXL blade inserts)
Insert the blade as described under 3.1.
Then x the detachable pin block (large) to the inside of the cutting top
(see “Using the detachable pin block or cutting stamp”). Together with
the integrated pin block, this creates a continuous surface and you can use
the entire cutting area.
To open the collecting container and remove the cut food, simply remove the complete cutting lid as
described previously.

iInformation
Non-slip feet on the bottom of the Nicer Dicer Fusion collecting container ensure it remains rmly in place
on your work surface.
To store the chopped food, you can seal the collecting container with the practical stay-fresh lid. The collecting
container can therefore be used to keep food fresh – chop now, use later!
3.3 Blade insert for cutting into quarters and eighths
Insert the blade as described under 3.1.
Then x the cutting stamp to the inside of the cutting top (see “Using the
detachable pin block or cutting stamp”).

Note: This blade must always be inserted in such a way that the surface
for cutting into eighths is in position 2 (see 3.1. “Blade insert with 2 dif-
ferent cutting surfaces”).
To open the collecting container and remove the cut food, simply remove the complete cutting lid as
described previously.

When inserting the blade, ensure that the slightly rounded narrow sides t ush with the cutting base,
as they will bend otherwise.
The blades are extremely sharp to provide the optimal cutting results. Please ensure that you do not
touch the blades during use.
The stamp for cutting into eighths is ONLY to be used with the blade for cutting into quarters and eighths.
If you wish to cut with a different blade, do NOT use the stamp for cutting into eighths and always re-
move it once it has been used.
Caution!
Tips
To cut food into dice, lay it at on the cutting surface. For potato soup, for example, rst cut the potatoes
into slices. To dice, place several slices on top of one another on the blade. You can use the same method
for cucumbers, courgettes, etc.
To cut into sticks, to make chips for example, place the potatoes upright on the blade. Delicious sticks of
cucumber, carrot, apple, etc. for dipping can also be cut in this way.
Ingredients with a skin such as peppers, apples or pears can be processed more easily if they are positi-
oned with the skin on top when they are on the blade (cut side on the cutting surface).
Cutting made easy with the right technique: Place your stronger hand (left hand if you are left-handed,
right hand if you are right-handed) on the outside of the cutting top. Then press down - with the support
of your weaker hand. In this way, you will save time and effort!
Before starting work, dip the blades in water. Wet blades cut more quickly and require less force. During
cutting, the blades are kept moist by the moisture in the food that is being cut.

5.1 Setting the cutting thickness
With the aid of the thickness controller on the bottom of the Nicer Slicer, the height-adjustable feed plate can
be set individually to achieve the required thickness.
5 The Nicer Slicer in practical use
Place the cutting base on the matching collecting container of the Nicer
Slicer – when you hear a click, the base is xed in place.

Insert the Nicer Slicer at 90° (vertically) onto the base of the Nicer Dicer
Fusion using the side slots provided. Then fold the Nicer Slicer forward so
that it is xed in the frame of the cutting base.

10
By turning the thickness controller anti-clockwise, the feed plate is lowered and thicknesses of 0 mm to approx.
6mm can be achieved. The actual thickness of the slices depends on the rmness of the ingredient. The “0” to
“6” markings on the thickness controller are a guide to setting the required thickness. Turning the controller
clockwise raises the feed plate and the thickness is reduced (down to 0 mm or “lock” – see “Caution” below).
The selected thickness can be checked and adjusted on the cutting thickness scale.
Julienne controller
Figure 1:
Cutting thickness scale
Cutting thickness controller
Caution!
To prevent injuries when not in use, the Nicer Slicer has an integrated cutting protection mechanism.
In the “lock” position on the thickness scale, the feed plate is raised above the height of the blade
and thus both prevents the stainless steel V blade from wearing during storage and protects against injury.
To protect against injury to persons and damage to the blades, always replace the blade protector after
each use! Take hold of the grip extension and pull it over the stainless steel V-blades. Take care to en-
sure that the 3 clips on the underside of the blade protector click into place under the stainless steel V-
blades. Positioning of the blade protector can be made easier by pressing your thumb in the middle.
In the “unlock” position, the feed plate xing is released and the entire section of the device can be
removed (e.g. to make cleaning easier). Please note that the stainless steel V blade is then completely
exposed and there is a serious risk of injury. To re-assemble, insert the side guide rails on the feed plate
into the recesses on the frame of the machine and push the feed plate fully into the frame. Then set the
thickness controller to the “lock” position and the feed plate is securely xed in the machine once again.

5.2 Slicing
Set the required cutting thickness as described above.
Place the Nicer Slicer securely in the base of the Nice Dicer Fusion, as described above.
Then hold the handle of the Nicer Slicer securely with your weaker hand
(your left hand if you are right handed, your right hand if you are left-
handed). With your other, free hand, feed the ingredient to be cut in quick
movements away from the handle, over the feed plate and through the
stainless steel V blade. This will cut even slices of the ingredient as you do
so. For reasons of safety you should always use the Handy Hopper or the
food holder with smaller pieces of food or small remnants of larger pieces
of food (see “Use of the food holder” and “Use of the Handy Hopper”).


11
5.3 Cutting julienne strips
Set the required cutting thickness as described above. Now turn the ju-
lienne controller on the bottom of the machine to the symbol to
extend the 18 extra blades for cutting the julienne strips. This gives a
cutting width of 3-4 mm. If the julienne controller is pointing to the
symbol, the julienne blades remain concealed under the feed plate and
slices will be cut.
The best cutting results for julienne strips can be achieved with a medium thickness of approx.
3 to 4 mm (set to the 3 or 4 mark on the thickness scale).
If the thickness controller is in the “lock” position, the extra blades for cutting julienne strips are safely
concealed. They can then be extended only when a thickness greater than “0” is selected.
To protect against injury to persons and damage to the blades, always replace the blade protector after
each use! Take hold of the grip extension and pull it over the stainless steel V-blades. Take care to en-
sure that the 3 clips on the underside of the blade protector click into place under the stainless steel V-
blades. Positioning of the blade protector can be made easier by pressing your thumb in the middle.
The Nicer Slicer can also be used freehand, so that food can be shaved over nished dishes or onto the
work surface. With its non-slip feet, “freehand” slicing is simple and safe.
Tips
5.4 Use of the food holder
The food holder is guided with your stronger hand (your right hand if you are right-handed, your left hand if
you are left-handed). Hold the Nicer Slicer rmly by the handle with your other, free hand. With the food holder,
smaller varieties of fruit and vegetables and remnants of larger ingredients can be cut into clean, even slices
down to the last piece without endangering your ngers or ngernails.
Place the ingredients on the feed plate (if alrea-
dy cut, with the cut surface down) and position
the food holder in the centre so that the holding
prongs on the stamp or the three integrated
metal pins can penetrate the food (see Figure
2). This stops the food from slipping while it is
being sliced and makes it clean, safe and easy
to work with.
Figure 2:
Metal pin
Stamp

Convex surface
The food that is being held in place pushes the stamp out against the
upper surface of the food holder. During cutting, the palm of the hand or
ngers push the stamp down and thus ensure that the ingredient is being
pushed through automatically until it has been processed almost entirely.


12
The two convex surfaces on the bottom of the food holder (see Figure 2) provide a secure hold for longer
pieces of food such as carrots, courgettes and cucumbers.
Tip
5.5 Use of Handy Hopper
Figure 3:
Lid
Stamp
Runners
Squeeze the two clips on either side of the lid
together and remove the lid.
Put the ingredient on the feed plate in the
Handy Hopper (if already cut, with the cut
surface down).
Clips
Place the stamp in the centre of the food and push the lid onto the Handy
Hopper until you hear the clips lock in place. The spring inside the stamp
keeps the holding pins pressed into the food. This prevents the food from
slipping and it is pushed down automatically. To top up the ingredient,
simply leave the Handy Hopper on the Nicer Slicer and follow the proce-
dure described below.
In the “lock” setting, the Handy Hopper cannot be inserted into the side guide. If it has already been
tted, it can no longer be moved over the feed plate and cannot be removed. To insert or remove, the
thickness controller must rst bee set to “0” (or greater).
Caution!
The runners on the Handy Hopper are fed into the side guides on both sides of the
Nicer Slicer from the handle. As a result, the Handy Hopper slides safely over the
stainless steel V blade and is always in the centre of it. The runners on both sides
of the Handy Hopper ensure that the holding prongs on the stamp and the stainless
steel V blade do not damage one another.

The Nicer Dicer Fusion has a self-cleaning function for the pin block.
Self-cleaning function
To clean the integrated pin block, press the “Push” button on the top of
the upper part of the cutting top. The transparent cleaning plate integrated
into the pin block is automatically pushed downwards and cleans the pin
block of even the smallest food residues.
Although the Nicer Dicer Fusion and the Nicer Slicer can be put in a dishwasher, we recommend washing them
by hand as the high-quality blades may otherwise become blunt over time.
Note
8 Disposal
In the event that the Nicer Dicer Fusion or Nicer Slicer and/or accessories can no longer be used, they should be
disposed of with the household rubbish. They can be disposed of by the municipal waste management services.
To clean the detachable pin block, lift the transparent cleaning plate out
of the pin block by the four protruding supports (there is one support on
each side).
In this way, the cleaning plate will clean the pin block of even the smallest
food residues.
With the Nicer Slicer in the “unlock” position, the feed plate xing is released and the entire section of the
device can be removed (e.g. to make cleaning easier). Please note that the stainless steel V blade is then
completely exposed and there is a serious risk of injury.
Caution!
All of the parts of the Nicer Dicer Fusion and the Nicer Slicer should always be washed before initial use and
after each subsequent use with a standard detergent under running water. Although all of the components of
the Nicer Dicer Fusion and the Nicer Slicer can be put in a dishwasher, we recommend you wash them by hand
to maintain their benets and functions in the long-term.
