When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, 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 by or
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
4. To protect against risk of electric 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 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.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause fi re, 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 fi rst putting bowl properly in place.
Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
15.
16. Never feed food into food chute by hand. Always use the food
pushers.
17. Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
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 OFF (O) after each use. Always use the pushers
to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, unplug

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 fi ts 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 fi t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fi t, have an electrician replace the outlet.
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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Unpack processor. Handle blade and disc(s) carefully; they
are very sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse; then dry.
WARNING! Laceration Hazard:
Always wait until blade has
stopped moving before
removing lid.

• 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 fi rm cheese like cheddar,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss that
has been chilled for at least 30
minutes.
•
The reversible slicing/shredding
disc and reversible fi ne-shred/
crinkle-cut disc have 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. 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 attachments are reversible and labeled. The label should face
up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not
process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.
ATTACHMENT

For best results do not exceed the following amounts when
chopping, mincing, or pureeing with the chopping/mixing blade.
Wipe base, control panel, and
cord with a damp cloth or
sponge. If necessary, use a mild
nonabrasive cleanser.
DISHWASHER-SAFE (TOP RACK ONLY)
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher.
“SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Removable
parts may also be washed by hand in hot, soapy water. Use care
when hand-washing sharp edges.
Troubleshooting
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.
It is diffi cult to remove lid
from bowl(s) or bowl(s) from
base.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?
•
Are the bowl(s) and lid locked in place and large food pusher in food chute? 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 irregulary sliced or shredded.
• Recommended speed for slicing and shredding disc should be LO for cheeses and LO or HI for
vegetables or fruit.
• Refer to the food processing charts for recommended sizes, speeds, and quantities.
• Are the bowl(s) and lid locked in place and large food pusher in food chute? 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 (O), 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.
• After washing in the dishwasher, allow parts to return to room temperature prior to placing on base.
A small amount of vegetable oil may be placed on snaps for easy removal.
