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 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. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or 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 blades and discs 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 work 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

20. Check that controls are clear of objects and hands before

plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, press “STOP”; then remove plug from wall outlet.

21. 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.

How to Use Dicing Assembly

w WARNING

Handle blades carefully; they are very sharp. Press STOP and unplug before inserting or removing blades.

Laceration Hazard:

Place work bowl on base with handle facing forward.

Place lid on bowl so the chute lines up with the handle.

To insert the dicing assembly, lower the dicing disc onto the motor shaft, making sure the removable grid is next to the handle. Then lower the cutting disc onto the motor shaft until it sits flush to the dicing disc. TIP: When using the feed chute to dice, slice, or shred, make sure no other blades are in the bottom of the work bowl.

Raise locking arm up and over bowl and snap into place.

Secure four latches of the dicing disc into place.

Place large food pusher in food chute. Add food and use medium or small food pushers for dicing.

NOTE: Unit will not work unless locking arm is snapped into place on bowl and large food pusher is inserted.

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 work bowl for the food to be tossed around.

• This food processor is excellent to chop, dice, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding coffee beans or spices, slicing frozen meats, 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, diced, 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 adjustable slicing disc can slice foods as thin as 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) and as thick as 1/4 inch (6 mm).

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

ATTACHMENT FOODS
