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.

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 chopper. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plug,

or base in water or other liquid.

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

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer assistance number for information on examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.

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

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surface including stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the food chopper is not running.

11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

12. 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.

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

Chopping Tips

• The bowl has a capacity of 3 cups. For liquid ingredients, do not exceed 13⁄4 cups (MAX LIQUID FILL line on bowl).

• For more control, process by pressing the LOW or HIGH pulse button briefly then releasing. Check consistency and continue if desired.

• Tear bread into pieces, then process to make bread crumbs. Break crackers or cookies into pieces, then process into crumbs for use as recipe ingredients or pie crusts.

• To chop carrots, celery, mushrooms, green pepper, or onion, cut into 1-inch chunks and place in bowl. This will result in more uniform consistency.

• Chop nuts; mince parsley, basil, chives, or garlic.

• Puree small amounts of cooked fruit or vegetables for baby food or use as a base for sauces or soups.

• Do not process raw meat, coffee beans, or whole, hard spices in the food chopper. This could damage the chopper.
