IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

Read all instructions.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.

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

Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

Avoid contacting moving parts.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

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

Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

Never feed food into chute by hand. Always use food pusher.

Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
