If damaged, the appliance must be replaced.
• The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the container while processing to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the processor is not running.
• Never feed food by hand. Always use a food pusher.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place blades or discs on the base without first putting the work bowl properly in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)
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. Do not attempt to remove the outer cover to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

WHAT SPEED T O USE

GENERAL TIPS F OR USING THE PROCESS SOR

• Organize processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted into the food.
• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.
• Meat and cheese should be well chilled before slicing or shredding

TIPS F OR USING THE CHOPPING BLADE

• The processor works very quickly. Watch carefully to avoid overprocessing foods.
• For best results, process foods that are about the same size.
• The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 1/2 to 2/3 full.
• Processing nuts or other hard foods may scratch the surface finish on the inside of the bowl.
• Never walk away from the processor while it is on.
• Use hot, but never boiling liquids.
• The PULSE feature offers the best control.

TIPS F OR SLICING OR SHREDDING

• Before slicing round fruits and vegetables through the processor cut a thin slice from the bottom so the food will be more stable. Place food cut side down in the feed chute.
• Always remove seeds, core and pits before processing
• Select foods that are firm and not over-ripe.
• When slicing thinner vegetables cut them just short of the length of the feed chute; stand them vertically in the feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• Soft and semi-hard cheeses should be well chilled before shredding.
• Do not let the food accumulate too high (over 2/3 full); stop and empty the workbowl.

CARE AND CLEANING

Important: Always unplug your processor from the outlet before cleaning.

CLEANING

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easier cleaning.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand in hot water with dish soap or in the dishwasher, top rack only. Hand-washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s appearance.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts to clean.
• Do not allow the blade or disc to soak in water for long periods.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade. Use a brush to remove any residual food particles.
