- To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse base, motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
- Turn the appliance OFF(⚪), then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
- Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep fingers out of feed chute.
- 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.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use your food processor if any part is broken.
- Do not use appliance outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
- Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade and disc 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.
- Blades are sharp. Handle cutting blades carefully when inserting or removing, emptying the bowl, and during cleaning. Store out of reach of children.
- To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or disc on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
- Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
- Never feed food into food chute by hand. Always use the food pushers.
- Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
- Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before removing lid.
- To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to insert or remove blade and disc using hubs provided for this purpose. Use caution when removing blade and disc from the bowl, when emptying the bowl, and when cleaning.
- Check that the appliance is OFF (⚪) before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF (⚪); then remove plug from wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
- Be sure to turn switch to OFF (⚪) position after each use. Always use the pushers to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, unplug cord from outlet and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 highwattage
appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.

WARNING Laceration Hazard. Handle blade carefully; it is very sharp.
Make sure control knob is turned to OFF (⚪) and unit is unplugged.
NOTE: Operate using only one blade or disc at a time.
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 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, select firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss. For best results, process cheese that is chilled. 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.
- 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.
Processing Charts
Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The label should face up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.
Cleaning and Care
Wipe base, control knob, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. If necessary, use a mild nonabrasive cleanser.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any
liquid.
DISHWASHER-SAFE (TOP RACK ONLY)
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle
temperatures could damage your product. All removable parts may also be
cleaned in the sink with hot, soapy water. Use caution when washing
chopping/mixing blade and slicing/ shredding disc.
Space-Saving Storage
Place chopping/mixing blade on motor shaft. Flip lid upside down and place in bowl. Place food pusher in food chute.
Place slicing/shredding disc onto motor shaft.
WARNING Laceration Hazard. Store sliding/shredding disc with slicing side
down. Handle carefully.
