How many discs are included with this accessory?

The accessory set includes five different stainless steel discs for various grating, shredding, and cutting tasks.

Are the stainless steel discs dishwasher safe?

Yes, the stainless steel discs and most other components are generally dishwasher safe. However, it's always best to consult your Bosch kitchen machine's user manual for specific cleaning instructions.

Can I use this accessory to make baby food purees?

This accessory is primarily designed for slicing, shredding, and grating. For pureeing ingredients into a fine baby food consistency, a blender or a dedicated food processor attachment might be more suitable.

Does this accessory require separate power?

How should I store the accessory and its discs?

Ensure all parts are clean and completely dry before storing. Store the accessory and discs in a safe, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a designated storage container to protect them and prevent injury.

Troubleshooting

Accessory does not fit or attach properly

Verify that your Bosch kitchen machine model is listed in the compatibility list (MUM5xxx, MUMS2xxx). Ensure no protective covers are obstructing the attachment point and that you are aligning it correctly with the drive shaft.

Uneven cutting or shredding results

Ensure the correct disc is selected for the task. Check that the ingredient is placed correctly and not overloaded. Make sure the kitchen machine is running at an appropriate speed as recommended for the accessory.

Discs seem dull or ineffective

Stainless steel discs are designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in performance, inspect the discs for any damage. Ensure they are clean and free from food residue. Extreme wear may require disc replacement, although this is uncommon with proper care.

Difficulty cleaning the discs or housing

Rinse parts immediately after use. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn food particles from the discs. If dishwasher safe, utilize the dishwasher for thorough cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the stainless steel.
