IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
4. This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the
appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
5. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
6. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
7. Avoid contact with moving parts.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and
repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Call the provided customer service number for information on
examination, repair, or adjustment.
9. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may
cause a risk of injury to persons.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar while blending to
reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to
blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only
when blender is not running.
13. The rating of this multipurpose appliance is based on the
attachment (may not be provided) that draws the greatest
current and other recommended attachments may draw
significantly less current.
14. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning.
15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade
assembly on base without blender jar properly attached.
18. Always operate blender with lid in place.
19. When blending hot liquids in the blender jar, open center vent
opening of lid and close the edge cover opening intended for
pouring. To prevent possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup
(710-ml) level. Hot liquids may push off lid during blending;
therefore, with the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel,
place one hand on top of the lid, keep exposed skin away
from the lid, and start blending at lowest speed.
20. Do not blend hot liquids in the travel jar.
21. Ensure collar on base of blender jar and travel jar is tight and
secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become
exposed.
22. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
on, switch OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
23. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
2
24. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF
( ). To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF ( ). Then
remove plug from wall outlet.
25. Operating time cannot exceed 3 minutes for any accessory or
speed setting.
26. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the food processor
or blender as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to
sudden steaming.
27. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
28. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
29. Keep hands and utensils away from moving chopping/mixing
blade and slicing/shredding disc while processing food to
reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to
the food processor. A rubber scraper may be used but ONLY
when the food processor is not running.
30. The chopping/mixing blade and slicing/shredding disc are
sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
31. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopping/mixing
blade or slicing/shredding disc on the processor motor shaft
without bowl properly attached.
32. Be certain processor lid is securely locked in place before
operating food processor.
33. Never feed food into food chute by hand. Always use the
food pusher.
34. Do not attempt to defeat the processor lid interlock
mechanism.
35. Make sure the chopping/mixing blade and slicing/shredding
disc have come to a full stop before removing processor lid.
36. Never use appliance for a longer period or with a larger
amount of ingredients other than that recommended by
appliance manufacturer. See section titled “Food Processing
Charts.”
37. CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by the utility.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquids only.
wWARNING
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the
plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting
blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may
not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement
parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after
30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw
significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first
seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most
power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of
what a blender motor can consume when power is needed
most.
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 appliance. 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.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will
damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service
number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar,
blender, and possibly result in personal injury.

Tips and Techniques
Food Processing Charts
• For a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that
are similar in size. Cut food into
1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before
processing with chopping/
mixing blade.
• This food processor is excellent
to chop, mix, slice, or shred
most foods. However, to
maintain peak performance, do
not use your food processor for
the following: grinding grain,
coffee beans, or spices; slicing
frozen meats; kneading dough;
or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce the best
results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can be
sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated
continuously for an extended
period of time, let the processor
rest about 4 minutes before
continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as they
are easily overprocessed and
will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like cheddar,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss that
has been chilled for at least
30 minutes.
• The reversible slicing/shredding
disc has a slicing blade on one
side and shredding teeth on the
other side. The name engraved
on the blade, facing up, is the
function selected. For slicing,
the word “SLICE” should face
up; for shredding, the word
“SHRED” should face up. Place
on motor shaft with desired
cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice,
remove from bowl, and restack
the vegetables. Pack into food
chute with slices vertical. Slice
again to make matchstick-cut
vegetables.
Disc attachment is reversible and labeled. The label should face
up for the desired function. When using disc attachment, do not
process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.
