Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR SUNBEAM

FOOD PROCESSOR.

• Always use extreme care when handling
processing blades and cutting discs. These are
extremely sharp and may cause injury if handled
incorrectly. Always store processing blades
and cutting discs in their respective covers or
processing containers.

• Unplug from power outlet before cleaning.

• Switch off the appliance and disconnect
from supply before changing accessories or
approaching parts that move in use.

• Always fit the safety cover before using the food
processor.

Sunbeam is very safety conscious when designing and

provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before
you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping
the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the
appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord
unless this cord has been checked and tested by a
qualified technician or service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of
the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.

• 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 have been given supervision

Features of your Food Processor

Processing bowl cover

The processing bowl cover activates
the automatic safety system. The
MultiProcessor™ Compact will not operate
unless the cover is correctly positioned on
the processing bowl and locked into place.

Processing bowl

The processing bowl has a capacity of
2 Litres for liquids and 1 kilogram
for solids. The bowl locks into place on the
motor base and is designed to encourage

Important: Always ensure your blender is
unplugged from the power outlet before
fitting or removing the blade assembly.
Always handle the blade assembly with
caution, as the blades are extremely sharp.

Before using your blender, we recommend
removing the six-blade system for thorough
cleaning.

To remove the six blade system in the glass jug

Unscrew the blade system from the jug, using
the inner measuring cup from the lid and
turning anti-clockwise (refer Fig. 1). Remove
the silicone rubber seal from the blade
assembly. Wash the lid, jug, silicone rubber
seal and the blade assembly in warm soapy
water.

Note: When removing the blade assembly
from the jug you may need to slightly tilt the
blade so that it slides out easily.

To re-assemble the six-blade system in the glass
jug (refer Fig.2)

1. Place the silicone rubber seal 1 over the
blade assembly, as shown opposite.

2. Position the blade assembly into the
base of the blender jug
the blade assembly is firmly in place by
turning it clockwise as indicated by the
arrow.

Note: Do not remove the stainless steel blades
from the blade assembly.

Note: The blender jug will leak if the
six-blade

system is not assembled correctly.
