IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Cover

When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

■ Read all instructions.

■ To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse Base,

Motor Block, cord, or plug in water or other liquid. To clean, wipe exterior with a damp cloth.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull straight out from outlet. Never pull cord.

■ Avoid contacting moving parts.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after

the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical adjustment.

■ The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

■ The Blade is sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.

■ To avoid injury, never place Knife Blade on Base without first putting

Bowl properly in place. Make sure Motor and Knife Blade have stopped completely before removing Cover.

■ Do not attempt to defeat the Cover interlock mechanism.

■ This appliance is intended for processing small quantities of food for

immediate consumption. This appliance is not intended to prepare large quantities of food at one time. Do not use outdoors.

■ Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but only when the food chopper is not running.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
