1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the base, motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug the cord from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use your food processor if any part is broken.
10. Do not use appliances outdoors.
11. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades and discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the food processor. A rubber scraper may be used but ONLY when the food processor is not running.
13. The blade and disc are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the cutting blade or disc on the base without first putting the bowl properly in place.
15. Be certain the lid is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.

Other Consumer Safety Information

• This appliance is intended for household use only.
• WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.

If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Tips and Techniques

• For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before processing with double chopping/mixing blade and leave room in bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans, or spices; slicing frozen meats; kneading dough; or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
• For best smoothie results, add at least 1/2 cup (118 ml) liquid to bowl before adding other ingredients.
• To julienne vegetables, slice and then remove from bowl. Restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make matchstick-cut vegetables.

Troubleshooting

the outlet work?

•  Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.

Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.| •  Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the processed food to be irregular.
Unit stops and will not come back on.| •  Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.

•  Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.

•  If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number.

Unit has a burning smell.| •  There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.
Motor seems weak.| •  Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food Processing Chart for recommended food sizes and speeds.
Cheese is not shredding well.| •  Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
PROBLEM| PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
---|---
Chopping/mixing blade stopped working.| •  Cheese pieces are too large. Cut cheese into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces or smaller. Soft cheeses need to be placed in freezer 30 minutes prior to processing and firm cheeses need to be cold from refrigerator.
Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.| •  Store vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.
Lid leaks.| •  Seal has come off or been removed. Place seal below groove on lid.

•  Food is trapped under seal. Remove seal and wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Place seal below groove on lid.

Mixture stops blending when using chopping/mixing blade.| •  There may be ingredients stuck to the side of the bowl or not enough liquid. Press OFF ( ). Remove lid and use a rubber spatula to push mixture towards the chopping/mixing blade.
