SAFEGUARDS

Always follow these safety precautions when using this appliance.

Getting Ready

1.Read all instructions.

2.Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully.

3.Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before removing food and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.

4.Do not use outdoors.

5.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

6.Do not operate any appliance with damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return appliance to nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

Operation

1.Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food, to prevent the possibil- ity of severe personal injury or damage to food processor. A plastic scraper may be used, but only when the food processor motor is stopped.

2.Avoid contact with moving parts. Never push food down by hand when slicing or shredding. Always use pusher.

3.Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover. (If machine does not stop within 4 seconds after you remove the pusher assembly, call 1-800-762-0190 for assistance. Do not use machine.)

4.Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. To reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should be placed on the shaft except when the bowl is properly locked in place and the processor in use. Store blades and discs as you would sharp knives, out of reach of children.

5.Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked in place before operating food processor.

6.Never try to override or tamper with cover interlock mechanism.
