Chef's Chopper TM Series Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either
the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously
injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are
not followed.
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 electric shock do not put Food Chopper 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. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury.
8.Donotuseoutdoors.
9.Donotletcordhangoveredgeoftableorcounter.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping food to
reduce the risk of severe injury to person or damage to the Food Chopper. A scraper
may be used but only when the Food Chopper is not running.
11. Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.
12. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without first putting

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Requirements
/
Volts: 120V A.C. only
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: This Food Chopper has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
If a longer extension cord is used,
• The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so it
will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.

back into the same outlet. If the Food
Chopper still does not work, check the
fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical
circuit the Food Chopper is connected to
and make sure the circuit is closed.
4. For uniform consistency of processed
foods, cut carrots, celery, mushrooms,
green peppers, onions and similar
vegetables into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
before adding to work bowl.
5. Use your Food Chopper to chop nuts
and mince parsley, basil, chives, garlic
and other herbs.

vegetables. Pur6ed, cooked fruits and
vegetables can also be used as bases
