IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:

• Read all instructions before using food processor.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse base, cord, or

plug in water or other liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near

children.

• This appliance is not for use by children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,

and before cleaning.

• Avoid contacting moving parts.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service center for
examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

•

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer
may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

•

Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.

•

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

•

Keep hands and utensils away from moving Blades or Disc while
operating to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the
appliance. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the
appliance is not operating.

To reduce the risk of injury, never place Knife Blade or Disc on Base
without first putting Container properly in place.

Never feed food by hand. Always use Food Pusher.

• Do not attempt to defeat the Cover Interlock Mechanism.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of

personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be (1)
marked with an electrical rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W.,
and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop o r tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally .

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This product is for household use only.

PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS

1. Food Pusher: The Food Pusher fits into the Food Chute.
By varying the pressure put on the Food Pusher, the
speed and quality of processing can be controlled.

2. Food Chute/Cover: The Food Chute/Cover positions
ingredients for processing. The Locking Tabs on the
Food Chute/Cover are part of an Interlock System that
assures the unit will not operate unless it is properly in
place (see “Interlock Mechanism”).

3. Interlock Mechanism: The Interlock Mechanism is
located at the top of the Base and allows the Tab
located on each Cover to slide into it and lock into
place. This insures proper operation and secure
assembly, as the appliance will only operate if the
Cover is positioned correctly in the Interlock
Mechanism.

4. Slicing/Shredding Disc: This dual function Disc allows
you to slice food on one side, then flip it over and use
the other side for shredding. Finger Grips provide safe
and easy handling of the Disc.

5. Disc Post: The Disc Post holds the Slicing/Shredding
Disc.

6. Knife Blade: The Knife Blade is used for chopping,
mincing and mixing ingredients.

7. Container: This 2-cup Container locks onto the Base by
fitting the Locking Tabs on the Container into the slots
located on the Base. Turn the Container clockwise to
lock into place.

8. Base: The Base houses the motor.

9. ON/OFF/PULSE Switch: This conveniently located
Switch requires only one-finger operation, making it
very easy to operate.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Carefully unpack the Mini Food Processor and remove all packaging
materials. Handle the Knife Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc carefully;
they are very sharp. Set the Base on a clean, dr y counter top or table.

Wash all parts except the Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. The Base may be wiped with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER.

USING THE ON/OFF/PULSE SWITCH

The ON/OFF/PULSE Switch is conveniently located on the top of the Mini
Food Processor. The three positions operate as follows:

ON

When the Switch is pressed to the ON position, the
unit will begin operation. It will continue to operate
until the Switch is pressed to the OFF position. Use the
ON position for longer processing tasks, such as making
salad dressings or dips.

PULSE

When the Switch is pressed to the PULSE position and held, the unit will
begin to operate. When the PULSE position is released, the operation will
stop. Use this position for short processing tasks, such as chopping
vegetables or nuts. You will find that the PULSE position is used more
frequently, as it gives you greater control over your food processing.

OFF

The OFF position is the middle position. Always leave the Switch in the OFF
position while you are preparing foods for processing and when the unit is
not in use.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Fresh, crisp and firm fruits and vegetables process best.

• Fruits and vegetables should be processed at refrigerator temperature.

• Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.

• Process dr y ingredients first and moist ingredients second when using

several different foods in a recipe or making several different recipes;
this reduces the number of times the Container must be washed and
dried.

• When slicing and shredding, cut longer and larger foods to fit the

length and width of the Food Chute.

• When chopping, cut pieces in uniform size pieces. Large pieces tend to

chop unevenly.

• Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the Container when necessary.
