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

near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse base,

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

5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. Avoid contacting moving parts.

7. 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.

8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the

appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

9. Do not use your food processor if any part is broken.

10. Do not use appliance outdoors.

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

surfaces.

12. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade and 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.

13. The blade and disc are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach

of children.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or disc

Tips and Techniques

Processing Chart

• 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 double chopping/mixing blade and leave room in bowl for the food to be tossed around.

• 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 or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.

• For best smoothie results, add at least 1/2 cup (118 ml) liquid to bowl before adding other ingredients.

• To julienne vegetables, slice and then remove from bowl. Restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make matchstick-cut vegetables.

Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The label should face up for the desired function.

Care and Cleaning

Wipe base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge and dry. If necessary, use a mild nonabrasive cleanser.

NOTE: Check lid to make sure seal is on bottom of lid. Seal must be in place to prevent leaking.

If food is trapped under seal, remove and wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Place seal below groove of lid.

w WARNING

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid.

DISHWASHER-SAFE

Electrical Shock Hazard.

DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. All removable parts may also be cleaned in the sink with hot, soapy water. Use caution when washing double chopping/mixing blade and slicing/shredding disc.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.

Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.

Unit stops and will not come back on.

Unit has a burning smell. • There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor

Motor seems weak. • Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food Processing

Cheese is not shredding well. • Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like

• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?

• Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.

• Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the processed food to be irregular.

• Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.

• Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.

• If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number.

mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.

Troubleshooting (cont.)

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Chopping/mixing blade stopped working.

Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.

Lid leaks. • Seal has come off or been removed. Place seal below groove on lid.

Mixture stops blending when using chopping/mixing blade.

• Cheese pieces are too large. Cut cheese into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces or smaller. Soft cheeses need to be placed in freezer 30 minutes prior to processing and firm cheeses need to be cold from refrigerator.

• Store vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.

• Food is trapped under seal. Remove seal and wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Place seal below groove on lid.

• There may be ingredients stuck to the side of the bowl or not enough liquid. Press OFF ( ). Remove lid and use a rubber spatula to push mixture towards the chopping/mixing blade.
