Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug.
This type of plug has one blade wider than the other.
The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by modifying the plug in any way.

Before First Use

Unpack processor. Handle Chopping/Mixing Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc carefully; they are very
sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. These parts can also be placed in
dishwasher.

Processing Tips and Techniques

• For a uniform consistency when chopping,
leave room in the bowl for the food to be
tossed around.
• Also for a more uniform consistency, start
with pieces of food that are similar in size.
Carrots, for example, should all be cut
in 1-inch chunks. Do not process 4-inch
pieces with ⁄ -inch pieces.

• 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 meat; or crushing ice.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use
another high wattage appliance on the same circuit
with your food processor.
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
food processor. 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.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables
like potatoes. They will be over-processed
in a second and turn gummy.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of
food being processed. Most foods can be
sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds.
Do not operate processor for more than
1 minute at a time. If processing large
quantities, let the processor rest about 1
minute before continuing.
