Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
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.

10. Never feed food into food chute by
hand. Always use food pusher.
11. The blades and discs are sharp. Handle
carefully. Store out of reach of children.
12. Make sure the blade or disc has come
to a full stop before removing cover.
13. Keep hands and utensils away from
moving blades and discs while process-
ing 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.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place
cutting blade or discs on base without
first putting bowl properly in place.
15. Be certain cover is securely locked in
place before operating appliance.
16. Do not attempt to defeat the cover
interlock mechanism.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to
insert or remove blades and discs using
finger holes provided for this purpose.
Use caution when removing blades and
discs from the bowl, when emptying the
bowl, and when cleaning.
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
food processor. 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.
