POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of

the outer cover. To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

(120V models only)

This product is for household use only.

• Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.

• Do not open the cover until blades stop.

• Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while chopping food to prevent possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the food chopper is not running.

• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without ﬁrst putting bowl properly in place.

• Be certain cover is locked securely in place before operating appliance.

• Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If an extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance; and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
