When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1Read all instructions.

2To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base in water or other liquid. For detailed cleaning instructions see the section marked ‘Care and Cleaning’ in this instruction manual.

3Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

4Unplug 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.

5Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully.

6Do not use outdoors.

7Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

8Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

9Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food, to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to food processor. A spatula may be used, but must be used only when food processor is not running.

10Never feed food by hand. Always use food pusher.

11Avoid contact with moving parts.

12Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover. Never use the cover interlock as a means of turning on or shutting off the motor. Only use the On button or Pulse button to operate this appliance.

13To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without putting bowl properly in place. Store blades and discs as outlined in this instruction manual and keep the appliance out of reach of children.

14Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked in place before operating food processor.

15Never try to override or tamper with cover interlock mechanism.

16Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven appliance, while under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your reaction time or perception.

17The use of attachments not recommended or sold by WP Appliances, Inc. specifically for this model may cause fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or damage to your food processor.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SHORT POWER CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
