2) Position your chosen disc:
a) If you have opted
for a slicing, grating or
julienne disc:
Position the disc on the
motor shaft. To ensure
that it is correctly
positioned, turn it in a
clockwise direction.
Place the dicing grid in
the bowl of the vegetable
processor.
Make sure that the spur
on the grid is fully en-
gaged in the locking slot
of the motor base.
b) You have chosen a dicing unit:
i.e. a grid and a special slicing disc for diced
vegetables.
Slicing discs and dicing grids can be mounted in
the following combinations:
14 x 14 mm
10 x 10 mm8 x 8 mm
5 x 5 mm
5 mm •

• •
Dicing grid
Slicer
8 mm
10 mm
WARNING
Never use a disc with a slicing thickness of
more than 10 mm.
Next, fit the correspon-
ding slicing disc (straight-
edged blade) and rotate
in a clockwise direction to
ensure that it is correctly
positioned.
c) If you want to use the French fries potatoes
cutting equipment:
This equipment comprises a French fries grid and a
special French fries slicing disc.
Position the French fries
grid in the vegetable
preparation bowl.
Check that it is correctly
positioned with the French
fries plate positioned at
the outlet.
Next fit the appropriate
slicing disc and rotate in
a clockwise direction to
check that it i correctly
positioned.
The ripple-cut and fine-dicing
discs are both fitted with a
driving pinion. If the motor
shaft and driving pinion
come into contact, you will
be unable to close the lid. In
which case, simply turn the
disc manually 90°.
WARNING
WARNING
To create brunoise or waffle cuts, place the
vegetables and fruit in the feed-head then
in the cylindrical hopper. Use the feed-head
pusher (to obtain an optimum cut).
To obtain an optimum cut of your flat leaf
parsley and aromatic herbs, use the special
herb feed-head, provided in your parsley kit
and/or tabbouleh kit. Place this feed-head in
the cylindrical hopper.
* see diagram page 18.
d) If you have selected a
dicing or ripple-cut disc :
Position the disc on the
motor shaft.

20
2) Remove the disc by lifting it from under-
neath using the hub and if necessary, turn in an
anti-clockwise direction to release…
If you have been using a dicing unit, we
recommend you remove the grid and the disc at the
same time. This will be easier if you first rotate the
emptying disc.
3) When fitting dicing equipment, we recommend
that you clean the inside of the bowl with a damp
cloth or sponge, particularly the part onto which the
grid is to be fitted.
Always use a properly cleaned grid.
Never process soft foodstuffs after hard ones wit-
hout properly cleaning the grid beforehand.
4) Fit the discharge plate, disc or dicing equipment
as indicated in“assembly procedures” in points 1)
and 2).
5) Close the lid of the vegetable preparation
machine and lock onto the motor base using the
fastening hook.
USES AND
CHOICE OF DISCS
The lid of the vegetable processor features two feed
openings:
- a wide feed opening for processing vegetables
such as cabbage and celery.
- a narrow feed opening for long vegetables,
guaranteeing a remarkable degree of cutting
precision. Cutting quality can be optimized if the
compartment is used as a cutting guide.
4) Position the head of
the vegetable prepa-
ration machine on the
motor shaft. The faste-
ning hook should now
be facing you, on your
right.
TO CHANGE THE DISC:
1) With the motor base
facing you, use your
right hand to undo the
aluminium fastening
hook which holds the
vegetable preparation
head on the motor base.
Lift the vegetable preparation head, tilting it back to
release the bowl.
3) Position the head of the vegetable preparation
machine on the motor shaft. The fastening hook
should now be facing you, on your right.
e) You only need to process small amounts :
When processing small amounts, we recommend
you use the receiver tray.
With the motor unit
facing you, place the tray
at the bottom of the bowl.
Position the disc of your
choice on the motor
shaft. Maximum capa-
city: 600 g diced pota-
toes (3x3x3 mm).
If you have trouble removing the disc, simply push
the tray up with your hand to free the disc from the
motor shaft.
WARNING
The receiver tray cannot be used with the
dicing or French Fries equipments.

21
After removing the head of the vegetable prepara-
tion machine, take off the disc, followed by the grid
and discharge plate where necessary.
Dishwashers are best avoided in order to prevent
the aluminium from becoming tarnished. Instead we
recommend that you clean the machine by hand
using washing-up liquid.
If you do put your machine in a dishwasher, we
suggest that you use a detergent designed specially
for aluminium.
Never immerse the motor base in water. Clean it
with a damp cloth or sponge.
• SMALL DICING DISCS / DICING GRID :
The cutting edges of the small dicing discs and
dicing grids have been precision-sharpened.
To maintain a consistently high cutting quality,
make sure the edges are not damaged during clea-
ning.
To clean the dicing plates, we advise you to use a
brush.

BE CAREFUL
As a safety measure, we advise you always to
unplug your machine before cleaning (risk of
electrocution).
USING THE WIDE FEED OPENING
- Raise the pusher to gain access to the feed
opening.
- Fill the feeder right up to the top with vegetables.
- Lower the pusher so that it is flush with the top of
the feed opening.
- Exert a downwards pressure on the pusher.
This pressure should just accompany the cutting
process and will vary according to the type of
cut. Remember that too great a pressure will
place unnecessary strain on the appliance.
- Cut cabbages in half and remove the core before
processing, in order to avoid unnecessary strain
and ensure an end-product of a higher quality.
USING THE WIDE FEED OPENING
Fill the feeder right up to the top with vegetables.
Apply a downwards pressure on the pusher and
maintain it until all the vegetables have been pro-
cessed.
Always press the vegetables down with a pusher
to improve cutting efficiency.
