Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide
blade) that reduces 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high- wattage
appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.

Tips and Techniques
-
Add the bowl scraper to bowl before processing ingredients that will stick to the sides of the bowl.
-
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 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 must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding. -
The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
