IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

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 mov-

ing 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 food pusher.

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 switch to OFF ( O )

position after each use. Always use the pusher to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.

21. The appliance is not intended for

commercial, professional or industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for household use only.

22. Never use appliance for a longer period or

with a larger amount of ingredients other than that recommended by appliance manufacturer.

23. The maximum rating of this unit is based

on using the Chopping/Mixing Blade. Using the Slicing/Shredding Disc may draw significantly less power.

24. Do not place on or near a hot gas or

electric burner or in a heated oven.

25. Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.

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.

Processing Using Chopping/Mixing Blade

The Chopping/Mixing Blade can be used to coarsely chop, finely mince, mix, or puree food to a smooth consistency.

1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.

2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See “How to Lock the Bowl” on page 4.)

3. Place the Chopping/Mixing Blade onto motor shaft of food processor in center of bowl. Turn slowly until blade drops into place. Handle carefully;

the blade is sharp.

4. Lock lid onto bowl. Insert food pusher

into food chute.

5. Plug in unit and process food.

The processing speed and time will determine the finished consistency of the food. The Pulse button can help you avoid overprocessing. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.

6. When finished processing, select OFF (O) or release from PULSE position. Wait until blade has stopped

rotating before removing lid.

Unplug the unit.

Chopping/ Mixing Blade

Motor Shaft

• For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Carrots, for example, should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10 cm) pieces with 1⁄2-inch (1 cm) pieces.

• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.

Processing Tips and Techniques

• 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 meat; or crushing ice.

• To achieve maximum capacity, use Chopping/Mixing blade of Big Mouth and add food no higher than the maximum fill line on food chute. See Food Processing Charts for more information.

• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated for 2 minutes continuously, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.

840170100 Ev03.qxd 7/16/07 10:37 AM Page 6

Processing Using Slicer/Shredder

• To slice or shred cheese, select firm cheese like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. Place cheese in freezer for 30 minutes before processing.

• The Reversible Slicer/Shredder Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.

• To julienne vegetables, slice then remove from bowl and restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make match-stick cut vegetables.

1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.

2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See “How to Lock the Bowl” on page 4.)

3. Place Removable Drive Sleeve on Motor Shaft. Put Slicer/Shredder Disc on Removable Drive Sleeve with the desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Lock lid onto bowl. (See “How to Assemble and Lock the Lid” on page 5.)

4. To slice/shred large foods (such as chunk of cabbage, green pepper, whole tomato) open food chute lid by lifting latch. Depress food holder to the right. Insert food and lock lid.

To slice/shred long, thin foods

(such as potato, pepperoni, carrots, celery). Lock lid.

Long foods can be inserted into the chute opening and processed as long as the food chute lid is closed.

5. Insert food pusher in chute. Always use the food pusher to feed food into the chute. NEVER PUSH FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.

6. Plug in unit.

7. Select speed. While pressing on food

pusher, select 1 or 2 for optimum slicing and shredding performance or PULSE to process food. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.

NOTE: The food chute lid is designed to pivot towards the right when processing food that fills the whole food chute capacity.

8. When food chute is empty, select OFF (O) or release from PULSE position. Wait until blade has

stopped rotating before removing lid. Unplug the unit.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before calling the Customer Service Number, carefully check the list below for a possible solution to your question.

POTENTIAL 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.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?

• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? See pp. 4-5 “How to Assemble.”

• 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.

• Are you using the recommended speed? See pp. 8-9 “Food Processing Charts.”

• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? They may have moved slighty during processing. See pp. 4-5 “How to Assemble.”

• 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, allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, 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 the unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.

• Are you using the recommended speed for the item you are processing? See pp. 8-9 “Food Processing Charts.”

• Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the food processing charts for recommended food sizes and speeds. See pp. 8-9 “Food Processing Charts.”
