Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud work bowl. Among them are rice, whole spices and oils like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your own spice blends, you may want to keep a second bowl just for that purpose.

Base housing is made of touch plastic with high impact resistance. Its smooth surface will look new for years. Keep a sponge handy as you work and wipe spills from base. Wipe in direction away from motor shaft. Do not use abrasive spray clean- ers on base or pusher.

Four rubber feet on under- side of base keep it from moving on most work sur- faces when machine is pro- cessing heavy loads. Clean feet from time to time; if rubber surface is not clean, machine may move on counter. If feet leave spots on counter, spray with spot remover and wipe with damp sponge. If any trace of spot remains, repeat procedure and wipe area with damp sponge and non-abrasive cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. No blade or disc should be placed on shaft except when work bowl is in place and processor is about to be used.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Like all powerful electrical appliances, your food processor should be han- dled with care.

Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and your family from misuse that could cause injury.

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

Never put adapter stem on motor shaft until work bowl is securely locked in place.

Always make certain that adapter stem 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 shred- ding 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.

TECHNICAL DATA

The line voltage and frequency approximate for your machine are shown on label on underside

of base.

An automatic temperature- controlled circuit breaker in motor ensures protection against motor burnout. If processor runs for excep- tionally 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 usually cool off within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour.

Safety switches prevent machine from operating when work bowl or cover is not locked into position. Motor stops within seconds when control switch is turned off or cover is unlocked. If motor should ever continue to run, do not attempt to remove cover. Remove plug from outlet and immediately notify the Cuisinart Consumer Service Center.
