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

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

near children.

4. This appliance should not be used by children.

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 cord or plug

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

ance 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 on

base without first putting bowl properly in place.

15. Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

18. Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before

removing lid.

19. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to insert or remove blade and

disc using hubs provided for this purpose. Use caution when removing blade and disc from the bowl, when emptying the bowl, and when cleaning.

20. Be sure to turn switch to OFF (O) position after each use. Always

use the pushers to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.

21. The appliance is not intended for commercial, professional, or

industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for household use only.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

840174102 ENv01.qxd:Layout 1 8/26/10 8:18 AM Page 2

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This product is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one

wide blade) that reduces 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, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.

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.

Tips and Techniques

• 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 for 2 minutes continuously, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.

• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily over-processed and will become gummy.

• To slice or shred cheese, select firm cheese like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. For best results, process cheese that is well chilled.

• The Reversible Slicing/ Shredding Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other and can only be used with the large bowl. The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. 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.

PROBLEM

Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.

Food is not chopped, sliced or shredded uniformly.

Unit stops and will not come back on.

Unit has a burning smell.

Motor seems weak.

PROBABLE CAUSE

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

• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.

• If using small bowl, adapter shaft may be missing and must be placed on motor shaft for S-blade to operate.

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

• Recommended speed for slicing and shredding disc should be 1 for cheeses and 1 or 2 for vegetables or fruit.

• Refer to the food processing charts for recommended sizes, speeds, and quantities.

• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? They may have moved slighty during processing. 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.

• Turn unit OFF, allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back ON. If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number to get the name of your nearest Authorized Service Center.

• There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.

• Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food Processing Charts for recommended food sizes and speeds.
