7. Avoid contact with moving parts.
8. 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.
9. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of the blender jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.
13. The rating of this multipurpose appliance is based on the blender jar that draws the greatest current and other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current.
14. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the cutting blade assembly on the base without the blender jar properly attached.
18. Always operate the blender with the lid in place.
19. When blending hot liquids in the blender jar, open the center vent opening of the lid and close the edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-ml) level. Hot liquids may push off the lid during blending; therefore, with the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of the lid, keep exposed skin away from the lid, and start blending at the lowest speed.
20. Do not blend hot liquids in the travel jar.
21. Ensure the collar on the base of the blender jar and travel jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

23. Do not leave the blender unattended while it is operating.
24. Before plugging the cord into a wall outlet, turn the control to OFF ( ). To disconnect the cord, turn the control to OFF ( ). Then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
25. Operating time cannot exceed 3 minutes for any accessory or speed setting.
26. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to sudden steaming.
27. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
28. Do not use the appliance for other than the intended purpose.
29. Keep hands and utensils away from moving chopping/mixing blades and slicing/shredding 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 or chopper is not running.
30. The chopping/mixing blade and slicing/shredding disc are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
31. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the chopping/mixing blade or slicing/shredding disc on the processor or chopper motor shaft without the bowl properly attached.
32. Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operating the food processor or chopper.
33. Never feed food into the food chute by hand. Always use the food pusher.
34. Do not attempt to defeat the processor or chopper lid interlock mechanism.
35. Make sure the chopping/mixing blade and slicing/shredding disc has come to a full stop before removing the processor or chopper lid.
36. Never use an appliance for a longer period or with a larger amount of ingredients other than that recommended by the appliance manufacturer. See the section titled “Food Processing Charts.”
37. CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

• This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids 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. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
• The length of the cord used on this appliance 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 appliance. 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.
• If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.
• Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

• The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation.
• Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.

• Always turn off, unplug, and allow blade to stop spinning before opening lid.

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 chopping/ mixing blade.
• 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, Monterey Jack, or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes.
• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other side. The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. For slicing, the word “SLICE” should face up; for shredding, the word “SHRED” should face up. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice, remove from bowl, and restack the vegetables. Pack into foodchute with slices vertical. Slice again to make matchstick-cut vegetables.
