EXTENSION CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-Listed, NOM, or appropriate agency-approved extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes and 120 volts. 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 pulling or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

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

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug-one blade is wider than the other. As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of this safety feature.

BOTTOM COVER

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

BEFORE FIRST USE

•When unpacking the product and removing packing material, handle the Chopping Blade, and Slice/Shred Disc carefully; they are very sharp.

•Wash all parts except the Base in hot, soapy water. Rinse them dry. These parts can also be placed in the dishwasher. Be sure to read this Use & Care Manual, paying special attention to the sections on “Using Your Food Processor” and “Care and Cleaning” to learn the correct methods for taking the unit apart and cleaning.
