4. Operating Instructions

The Super Dicer Slicer is designed for efficient preparation of vegetables and fruits. Always ensure the device is properly assembled before use.

Using the Blade Inserts

• Large Grid Insert (13.8 mm): Ideal for dicing larger cubes of vegetables like potatoes, onions, or bell peppers.
• Small Grid Insert (6.8 mm): Perfect for creating smaller cubes, suitable for fine dicing of garlic, ginger, or ingredients for salsas.
• Disc Insert (6.8 mm): Use this for slicing thinner pieces of vegetables or fruits, such as cucumbers or carrots.

Dicing/Slicing Procedure

1. Prepare your vegetable or fruit by peeling if necessary and cutting it into pieces that fit comfortably onto the blade insert without overfilling.
2. Place the prepared food item onto the center of the chosen blade insert.
3. With both hands, firmly and quickly press down the dicer top. The pressing grid will push the food through the blades into the collection container below.
4. Repeat the process until all food is processed.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your Super Dicer Slicer.

• Hand Wash Only: All components of the Super Dicer Slicer must be washed by hand. Do not place in a dishwasher.
• After each use, disassemble the unit. Carefully remove the blade insert and the dicer top from the collection container.
• Rinse all parts under running water immediately after use to prevent food from drying onto the blades and plastic components.
• Use a soft brush or sponge with mild dish soap to clean all surfaces. Pay special attention to the blade inserts and the pressing grid, as food particles can get lodged in these areas. Exercise extreme caution when cleaning blades.
• For stubborn food particles in the pressing grid, a small, stiff brush (not included) may be helpful. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the plastic.
• Thoroughly rinse all components to remove soap residue.
• Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.

6. Storage

When not in use, store your Tupperware Super Dicer Slicer in a clean, dry place. For compact storage, the dicer top can be placed over the collection container with a blade insert inside, or stored separately.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Super Dicer Slicer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Difficulty Pressing Down:
  • Ensure the food item is not too large for the blade insert. Pre-cut larger items if necessary.
  • Verify that the blade insert is correctly seated in the container.
  • Some harder vegetables (e.g., raw carrots, sweet potatoes) may require more force or pre-blanching.
• Food Getting Stuck in Blades:
  • This can happen with fibrous vegetables or if the pressing motion is too slow. Apply firm, quick pressure.
  • Clean the blades immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
• Uneven Cuts:
  • Ensure the food item is placed centrally on the blade insert.
  • Apply even pressure across the dicer top.
