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 appli- ance 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 the
except the base in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. These parts can also be placed in the 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
•This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, we do not recommend 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 overprocessed 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 one minute at a time.
If processing large quantities, let the processor rest about one minute before continuing.
•To slice or shred cheese, select a firm cheese like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. Place cheese in freezer for 30 minutes before processing. Always use highest speed of food processor.
