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 Motor
Housing, Cord or Plug in water or other liquid. For detailed cleaning instructions see the section marked ‘Care and Cleaning’ in this instruction manual.
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, before removing food and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.
5 Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully. 6 Do not use outdoors. 7 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
8 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
9 Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from
moving blades or discs while processing food, to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to food processor. A spatula may be used, but must be used only when the Food Processor is not running.
10 Never push food down by hand. Always use food pusher. 11 Avoid contact with moving parts. 12 Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover.
Never use the cover interlock as a means of turning on or shutting off the motor. Only use the On button or Pulse button to operate this appliance.
13 To reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should be placed on the
shaft except when the bowl is properly locked in place. Store blades and discs as outlined in this instruction manual and keep the appliance out of reach of children.
14 Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked in place before
operating food processor.
15 Never try to override or tamper with cover interlock mechanism. 16 Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven appliance, while
under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your reaction time or perception.
17 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
WP Appliances, Inc. specifically for this model may cause fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or damage to your food processor.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Additional Safety Precautions
• 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 as referenced in the section “Storing Your Food Processor”.
• Unplug from power outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.
• Do not put hot liquids into the food processor, warm liquids are acceptable.
• Place the processor bowl onto the base of the processor before fitting any attachments.
• All blades and attachments should be removed with care before cleaning.
• When using the lid with the continuous flow door closed do not overfill the processor. The maximum levels for the 4 cup work bowl is 1 cup of thin liquid, and 1.5 cups of thick liquid. For solids such as cheese, vegetables, etc. no more than 4 cups.
• Always remove the blade before emptying the processor bowl of its contents.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.
18 To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall
outlet. Always hold the plug, never pull the cord.
19 Do not use this appliance for other then intended use.

Before Your First Use
Before you assemble the Food Processor, ensure that the power cord is unplugged.
1 Place the Motor Base facing you on a dry,
level surface.

Base, the bowl will only sit correctly on the base when the handle is at the 3 o’clock position, see figure 1.
3 Rotate the handle clockwise to lock, as
indicated by the graphics on the left side of the motor base. The Bowl Handle should be at the 6 o’clock position, see figure 2.
4 Place the Lid on the Processing Bowl
with the tab on the Lid to the right of the handle. See figure 3. Ensure that the center pin of the Lid is inserted into the hole on the shaft. Turn the Lid clockwise until it engages the interlock on the handle. See figure 4.
Note: Your Food Processor will not operate unless your bowl and lid are assembled properly.
Warning: Use caution, as blades are extremely sharp. Always handle all blades by their central plastic section. Never grasp the cutting blade itself.

Assembling Your Attachments
Note: All attachments must be firmly attached
to the Spindle. Always adjust the attachments until you are sure that they are correctly fitted.
5 Place the Chopping Blade over the
Spindle until it snaps into place. See figure
5. The top of the Chopping Blade has a rim. Be sure to slide with rim side up onto Spindle. Refer to figure 6 for correct placement of the Chopping Blade onto the Spindle.
Note: If Chopping Blade is incorrectly placed onto Spindle (see figure 7), use a flat­tipped screwdriver or other blunt instrument to depress the flexible side tabs in order to release the Blade from the Spindle. See figure 8.
6 Place the assembled Spindle/Chopping
Blade onto the Drive Shaft, see figure 9, next page. Ensure that the Spindle assembly is fully seated into the Drive Shaft. You should not see any of the metal stem on the bottom of the Spindle if it is properly assembled. It may be necessary to turn the Spindle slightly left or right.

Using Your Food Processor
Warning! Never turn the Food Processor off by removing the lid, as
a serious injury can occur from the blades and or discs. Always power the processor off by using the control buttons and waiting for the blades to completely stop spinning. If the blades continue to spin while the switch is off, unplug from the wall outlet and call our customer service department at 1-800-275-8273. Do not attempt to use the machine any further.
4 Foods with high moisture content will turn into a fine puree
very quickly. If this is not the result you want, use the PULSE button in very short increments while watching the result of the processed food.
5 Should your recipe call for liquid ingredients, or small pieces of food
to be added while chopping, remove the Food Pusher and drop them through the feed tube and then replace the cover.
6 If processing liquid ingredients by themselves, do not exceed
more than 1 cup of thin liquids and 1 1/2 cups of thick liquids in the continuous feed lid, or 1.5 cups of thin liquid and 2.5 cups of thick liquid in the standard lid (optional standard lid must be purchased separately).
7 To remove the food after you have completed processing, turn the
processor off (see warning under paragraph 3 above), remove the Cover, remove the Blade/Spindle assembly by lifting straight up and out of the bowl. Remove the Work Bowl by turning counter­clockwise and lifting straight up.
Using the Slicing and Shredding Discs
The Slicing and Shredding Discs can be used to process up to 4 cups of processed food directly into the work bowl, or up to 7 cups into the optional food hopper (sold separately), or into a tall mixing bowl or container.
Processing Cheese
Your 4 Cup Food Processor is able to shred soft cheese such as Cheddar, Mozzarella, or Swiss that has been pre-chilled, not frozen. When processing soft cheese only use the shredding disc or chopping blade, not the slicing disc. Do not use excess force to push the cheese through the feed tube, slow steady pressure will be sufficient, allowing the shredding disc to shred the cheese equally.
When processing hard cheese such as Parmesan or Romano ensure that it is at room temperature prior to processing. You can use the slicing disc, shredding disc, or chopping blade to process hard cheese.

11
Using Your Food Processor
Your Food Processor has two speed controls, CONTINUOUS ON, or PULSE. Please note that your Food Processor will not operate unless the Bowl and Lid are properly assembled according to the section “Assembling Your Food Processor”. The safety interlock must be engaged.
CONTINUOUS ON
Press the CONTINUOUS ON button located on the left side of the control panel. Your processor will stay on as long as this button is engaged. To stop the motor from spinning depress the CONTINUOUS ON button once again.
PULSE
For pulse chopping, depress and hold the PULSE button located on the right hand side of the control panel. The motor will continue to spin for as long as you hold the PULSE button down. When pulsing, always allow enough time for the food to fall down back into the blades in between pulses.
The PULSE button allows you to more precisely control processing. Never control pulsing by opening and closing the lid.
Using the Chopping Blade
The stainless Chopping Blade is used for chopping, mixing, kneading, pureeing, and emulsfying.
1 Always use the metal Chopping Blade when chopping, pureeing,
mixing, or kneading. Place the Blade into the food processor prior to adding food. For more uniform results, food should be cut into pieces no larger than 1-inch . If food is not uniform, you may get inconsistent results. For best results, process no more than 2 cups at a time.
2 Place Cover onto Processor Bowl and lock into place. Place Food
Pusher into Cover to prevent splatter.
3 For precise chopping, use the PULSE button. For pureeing,
kneading, or fine chopping, use the CONTINUOUS ON button. If necessary, use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Ensure that your Food Processor is powered off first.

Processing More Than 4 Cups
For processing more than 4 cups, you will need the ejector disc, and ensure that the Food Chute Door in the Processing Lid is in the open position. See figure 12.
Warning! When using the Food Processor with the Food Chute Door open, keep hands and fingers away from the Food Ejector Chute. NEVER reach into the opening to remove food. Should the Ejector Chute become clogged, turn the Processor off, wait for the blades to stop spinning, remove the Cover, and remove the clogged food.
1 Assemble Work Bowl according to instructions
in “Assembling Your Food Processor.”
2 Place the Spindle into the Work Bowl and
push down as far as it will go.
3 Place the Ejector Disc on to the Spindle
BEFORE adding the cutting disc of your choice. The Ejector Disk will allow the food to bypass the work bowl and eject into the optional hopper, or container of your choice. The top side of the Ejector Disc is identified by the side with the sweeping ridge as shown in figure 13.
4 Select the reversible Slicing or Shredding
Disc. You will notice there are two sides to each disc, one large, and one small. The desired cut you are looking for should be placed facing up onto the Spindle.

Warning! Blades are razor sharp; always handle discs by the white
center rim, not by the blade itself.
4 Place Cover onto Processor Bowl and lock into place. Ensure
that the food chute door is in the down position (closed) to prevent your ingredients from exiting out the Ejector chute during processing. See figure 11.
5 Load Food Chute before turning Processor on. It is best to ensure
that the side of food facing the blade is flat to ensure consistency.
6 Always cut and load food flat-side down into the Food Chute. Insert
the Food Pusher into the Food Chute and apply slight pressure while holding the PULSE button down to process the food. (See “Helpful Hints” for more processing tips.) When the Food Chute is empty, release the PULSE button. It’s normal for a small piece of unprocessed food to be left between the Slicing/Shredding Discs and Bowl Lid.
7 Remove the Lid, and then remove the Disc before removing the
Work Bowl. Remove the Work Bowl by turning counter-clockwise to the 3 o’clock position and lifting straight up.
Warning! Blades are razor sharp; always handle discs by the white center rim, not by the blade itself.
