Important safeguards for electrical appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated
for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the requi-
38
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not to use any extension cords or desk top multi socket outlets.
• Always handle power cords with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of
the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that
no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power
cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with
wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• When liquids are spilled on the motor base or power cord, immediately unplug the
appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day. See: Care and
Cleaning
Moving parts — Risks of injuries
The appliance is intended for cutting, chopping and mixing food. Thus,
moving/cutting parts of the appliance can cause severe injuries, when used
contrary to these instructions.
• Do not insert your hands, hair, clothes, brushes, or other foreign objects (e.g. bones, stalks
of vegetables, cooking utensils) in the feed tube of the appliance or in the outlet of the bowl,
when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Only use the provided pusher to push
down the ingredients. Do not push with violence, to avoid that the motor gets blocked.
• The blades of the tools are very sharp. Handle with care! Only touch the cutting
tools at the black plastic parts to avoid injuries. Do not attempt to use more than one set of
cutting tools simultaneously, unless it is described in the instructions in this booklet this way.
• Do not hold your face over the feed tube, while the motor is agitating, because food and
liquids could splash through the feed tube. Moreover, splinters could escape from the feed
tube, if you failed to see small pieces of bones or other hard parts (e.g. shells, stones) while
preparing the foods. DO NOT push the foods with your hands down in the feed tube, or
poke in the feed tube!
• Always assemble the appliance according to the instructions in this booklet completely and
correctly, before connecting the appliance to the power supply. Doing so, be aware, that
the motor will start IMMEDIATELY, if the ON/OFF button is set to ON at this moment. Thus,
always ensure that the appliance is always ready for working, before connecting to the power supply. Always switch OFF (indicator in the ON/OFF button goes out) the appliance via
the ON/OFF button first, when setting it out of operation. This holds also, when the motor
suddenly stops agitating due to overheating or braking of a safety interlock.

Properties of the Design Food Processor S
Your new Food Processor processes your food in only a few seconds. For most purposes there is no need to continuously operate the appliance for more than a few minutes. Even heavy
dough (e.g. yeast dough) is processed in 2 or 3 minutes (at the maximum). Also when using
a cutting blade and adding your food via the feed tube, you should switch off the motor for
filling the feed tube anew. This way you get better results. Additionally, you should not press
too violently on the pusher, when processing your food. See: Safety interlocks
If you wish to process your food for a elongated time (e.g. mixing dough using the universal
‘s’ blade), always make brakes in between times, switching the motor OFF to avoid overheating.
The appliance is NOT suited for grinding very hard parts of foods (e.g. stones, woody
shells, bones).
The appliance is delivered with a lot of useful tools. Only use the designated tools for the
various tasks to avoid damage. (See: „Selecting the Appropriate Tools“)
Safety interlocks
WARNING: Do not attempt to damage or by-pass the safety interlocks!
Your new Design Food Processor Pro is equipped with various safety features for your protection.
• Safety interlocks switch OFF the motor, if the bowl or the lid is not assembled and locked
correctly, to avoid injuries due to the cutting blades and other moving parts.
• The automatic brake stops the motor almost immediately, as soon as the appliance is switched OFF.
• The appliance is provided with a safety thermal cut-out device and will shut off, when overloaded. If the appliance suddenly stops during operation, immediately switch OFF (indicator
goes out) and unplug. Then wait for about 15 minutes to let the motor cool down. Thereafter,
you can operate the appliance quite as usual. (See: „Operation“) However, to avoid that
overheating occurs again, you should repeatedly make brakes during working—depending
on the load (e.g. for kneading heavy dough).
• The motor base is mounted on rubber legs, ensuring a stable, non-slip stand on smooth
surfaces (e.g. glass, metal, painted surfaces).
• For storage you can place the cutting tools in the bowl and in a drawer in the motor base,
thus avoiding injuries. Additionally, this way the tools are always at hand.
(See: „Storage“)
Modes of operation
The appliance can be operated in two operating modes: continuously and pulse.
• Press the ON/OFF button for continuous operation.
An indicator in the ON/OFF button is illuminated, if the appliance is switched on. If the
indicator is illuminated but the motor does not work, first press the ON/OFF button to switch
OFF the appliance (indicator goes out), then check, if you assembled the appliance completely and correctly. (See: Operation) Thereafter try again. (See also: „Solving Problems“)
