IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and save all instructions.

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

base, 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.

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

on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

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

appliance.

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. Check that the control is OFF (O) before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF (O); then remove plug from wall outlet.

21. 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, unplug cord from outlet and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.

22. The appliance is not intended for commercial, professional, or industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for household use only.

23. Never use appliance for a longer period or with a larger

amount of ingredients other than that recommended by appliance manufacturer.

24. The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the

chopping/mixing blade. Using the slicing/shredding disc may draw significantly less power.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

25. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

26. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

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 your appliance.

Tips and Techniques

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 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.

• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.

• 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. When using disc attachments, do not process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

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.

Motor seems weak.

Cheese is not shredding well.

Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

• 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 irregulary sliced or shredded. Refer to the Food Processing Charts for recommended sizes and quantities.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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