Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the food processor. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

Before First Use

Unpack processor. Handle Chopping/Mixing Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc carefully; they are very sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. These parts can also be placed in dishwasher.

Processing Tips and Techniques

•For a uniform consistency when chopping, leave room in the bowl for the food to be tossed around.

•Also for a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Carrots, for example, should all be cut in 1-inch chunks. Do not process 4-inch pieces with 1⁄2-inch pieces.

•This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans or spices; slicing frozen meat; or crushing ice.

•Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.

•Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. Do not operate processor for more than 1 minute at a time. If processing large quantities, let the processor rest about 1 minute before continuing.
