SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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 base, cord, or plug
in water or other liquid.

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

4. Turn unit off and unplug from outlet
when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp
plug, and pull from wall outlet.
Never pull on cord.

5. Avoid coming in contact with
moving parts.

6. Do not operate appliance with
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner.

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 surfaces.

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

11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

12. Be sure to insert or remove
Chopping Blade and Slice/Shred
Disc by using hubs to avoid injury.

13. To avoid injury, never place Chopping
Blade or Slice/Shred Disc on Base

completely before removing Cover.

14. Be certain Cover is securely locked in
place before operating appliance.

15. Never feed food into Chute by hand.

Interlock Mechanism.

17. Excessive strain may cause the motor to
overheat and stop. A safety protector
in the motor prevents excessive

the presence of explosive and/or
flammable fumes.

Consumer Safety Information

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

USE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN INTENDED WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

EXTENSION CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected
to reduce the possibility of tangling or
tripping over a longer cord. If more
length is needed, use an Underwriters
Laboratories (UL)-Listed, NOM, or
appropriate agency-approved extension
cord rated no less than 15-amperes and
120 volts. When using an extension cord,
do not let it drape over the working
area or dangle where someone could
accidentally trip over it. Handle cord
carefully for longer life; avoid pulling
or straining it at outlet and appliance
connections.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.

POLARIZED PLUG
(120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug-one
blade is wider than the other. As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try
again. If it still does not fit, contact an
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat the
purpose of this safety feature.

BOTTOM COVER

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

BEFORE FIRST USE

• When unpacking the product and
removing packing material, handle the
Chopping Blade, and Slice/Shred Disc
carefully; they are very sharp.

• Wash all parts except the Base in hot,
soapy water. Rinse them dry. These parts
can also be placed in the dishwasher.
Be sure to read this Use & Care
Manual, paying special attention to
the sections on “Using Your Food
Processor” and “Care and Cleaning”
to learn the correct methods for taking
the unit apart and cleaning.

Using Your Food Processor

NOTE ABOUT USAGE: Do not attempt to chop ice in this Food Processor; it will
damage the Bowl and dull the Chopping Blade. This unit will not whip cream, beat
egg whites to a desirable volume, grind coffee beans or spices with a high oil content,
or slice or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows, or soft cheeses. When preparing
ingredients to make dough, do not exceed the recommended amounts to yield 1
loaf of bread. Exceeding the recommended amount will cause the unit to overheat
when the dough blades are in use.

IMPORTANT: For your protection, this unit has an Interlock System so the processor
won’t operate unless the Bowl is locked onto the Base and the Cover is correctly
locked onto the Bowl. Be sure the Bowl Handle is turned fully onto the Base so that
the Handle lines up over the Signal Light. Do not attempt to operate the unit without
the Cover being correctly in place. Be sure the Base is on a flat, dry, clean surface
before you begin processing.

How to Slice or Shred

1. Place the Bowl over the Center Post in the Base
with the Handle at the left . Turn the Bowl towards
the right until it drops down into place. Snap the
Bowl in so that the Handle lines up straight over
the Signal Light; be sure it locks into place (A).

2. Slide the Disc Stem onto the Center Post in the Bowl.
Carefully grasp the Slice or Shred Disc (they are sharp!)
and push it down onto the Disc Stem.

3. Place the Cover onto the Bowl so that the Food
Chute is just to the right of the Bowl Handle. Twist
the Food Chute/Cover toward LOCK until you hear
it click into place (B).

4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Use the
Food Guide to help you prepare food for slice/shred
Processing. Fill the Food Chute with food and position
The Pusher over the food

5. Press down lightly but firmly on the Food Pusher while
pressing the Pulse (or press ON for continuous process).

6. After processing food, release the Pulse, or if you were
using continuous ON, press OFF. Allow the Disc to stop
rotating. Twist the Food Chute/Cover toward UNLOCK
to remove the Cover.
