The DLC-5 is intended for Household Use Only

SAFETY

•Like any powerful electrical appliance, your food processor should be handled with care. These are some procedures that will protect you and your family from misuse that could cause injury.

•Handle metal blade and discs carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp.

•Never put blade or disc on motor shaft until work bowl is securely locked in place.

•Always make certain that blade or disc is down on motor shaft as far as it will go.

•Always insert metal blade in work bowl before putting ingredients in work bowl.

•When slicing or shredding food, always use pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into feed tube.

•Always wait for blade or disc to stop spinning before you remove cover from work bowl.

•Be careful not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl when you empty bowl. Remove it before tilting bowl, or hold it in place.

SOME TECHNICAL DATA

The line voltage and frequency appropriate for your machine are shown on label on underside of base.

A safety switch prevents machine from operat- ing when work bowl or cover is not locked into position. Motor stops within seconds when control switch is turned off or cover is unlocked.

An automatic temperature-controlled circuit breaker in the motor ensures protection against motor burnout. If processor runs for exception- ally long time when chopping, mixing or knead- ing thick or heavy mixtures in successive batches, motor may overheat. If this happens, processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for motor to cool off before proceeding. It will usu- ally cool off within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour.

If it does not start or stop, please call our Customer Service Department toll free at 800- 726-0190.
