OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK SLICE CHOPPER / DICER
PLEASE NOTE: Careful and close adherence with the below instructions will help enhance the operation and longevity
of your KATTEX Quick Slice Chopper / Dicer. Ensure to thoroughly clean the device prior and after each use,
complying by the cleaning instructions below. Minimize the use of alkaline cleansers as they may cause pitting and dulling
of the finish.
SAFETY REMINDER:The blades are VERY SHARP. Please exercise caution when handling and operating the
machine and keep hands away from all cutting edges.
TOOPERATE
1. Place the chopper on a firm work surface or countertop.
2. Prepare the produce to be chopped (core, cut, slice, or wedge according to your requirements).
3. Lift the handle and place the produce on the blades. Do not attempt to chop produce larger than the
opening in the blade holder.
4. Ensure that all hands and fingers are not in the cutting area. With a strong, quick thrust, bring the push
block down to force the produce through the blades. Lift and repeat.
5. Clean the machine after chopping is completed in accordance with the cleaning instructions below.
6. If the unit fails to properly operate during its first use, call Winco customer service at 1-888-946-2682, or
email at [e-mail].
PLEASE NOTE: Since the blade and holder assemblies for different sized cuts are interchangeable, you may have more
than one set available for use. Before chopping, please ensure that the push block is the correct one to use for the desired
cut size. Gently lower the push block onto the blade and holder assembly to ensure that the push block guide rests on the
bumpers. If it does not, something must be corrected prior to beginning the chopping procedure.
CLEANING
1. Lift the handle and push block guide off the guide rods.
2. Remove the bumpers and lift the blade and holder assembly off the guide rods.
3. Thoroughly wash the push block guide, the push block, the blade and holder assembly, and the frame.
4. The push block can be removed from the push block guide by removing thumbscrews for further cleaning.
5. The blade and holder assembly may also be totally disassembled for further cleaning as follows:
a. Remove thumbscrews and the blade holder plate.
b. Gently tap the blades and the blade spacers from the blade holder.
CHOPPING & DICING TIPS
Cut produce before chopping and place a cut surface against the blades. Onions and tomatoes dice best if cut from top to
bottom. They may be cut in half, or if smaller dices are desired, they can be cut several times in this direction.
TOLUBRICATE
As needed, lubricate the guide rods with mineral oil, food grade grease, or rub them with Paraffin. Do not lubricate
with cooking oil.
