Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

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 food chopper. 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.

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 appli-

ance 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 cover is securely locked in place before operating

appliance.

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