IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1. Read all instructions.

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

plug, or base in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used

by or near children.

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

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

6. 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
assistance number for information on examination, repair,
or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

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

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

8. Do not use outdoors.

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

hot surface including stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blades while

chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons
or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but
must be used only when the food chopper is not running.

11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

12. This appliance is intended for processing small quantities

of food for immediate consumption. This appliance is not
intended to prepare large quantities of food at one time.

13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on

base without first putting bowl properly in place.

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

appliance.

15. Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock mechanism.

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

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.

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
high- wattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.
