with a paper towel is sufficient.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or
cloud the work bowl. These foods include
ice, whole spices, coffee beans and oils
like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your
own spice blends, you may want to keep a
second bowl just for that purpose.
The base housing is made of a tough
plastic with high-impact resistance. Its
smooth surface will look new for years.
Keep a sponge handy as you work, and
wipe spills from the base.
Four rubber feet on the underside keep
the base from moving on most work
surfaces when the machine is processing
heavy loads. If the feet leave spots on the
counter, spray it with a spot remover and
wipe with a damp sponge. If any trace of
the spot remains, repeat the procedure and
wipe the area with a damp sponge and
nonabrasive cleaning powder.
To clean the inside of the detachable
stem, slide the stem release button on the
side up as far as it will go and hold it there
as you run water through the stem.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or
disc on the motor shaft. No blade or disc
should be placed on the shaft except
when the processor is about to be used.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Like all powerful electrical appliances, the
PowerPrep Plus ®
should be handled with care. Follow these
guidelines to protect yourself and others
from misuse that could cause injury.
• Handle and store metal blades and discs
carefully. Their cutting edges are very
sharp.
• Always place discs on flat, stable surface
before connecting detachable stem.
• Never put blades or discs on the motor
shaft until the work bowl is locked in
place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is
down on motor shaft as far as it will go.
• Always insert chopping blade and dough
blade in the work bowl before putting
ingredients in bowl.
• When slicing or shredding food, always

use the pusher. Never put your fingers or
spatula into feed tube.
• Always wait for the blade or disc to stop
spinning before you remove the pusher
assembly or cover from the work bowl.
• Always unplug the unit before removing
food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off
parts.
• Always remove work bowl from base of
machine before you remove chopping
blade or dough blade.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping blade
from falling out of the work bowl when
emptying the bowl. Remove it before
tilting bowl, or hold it in place with your
finger, a spatula or a spoon.

SOME TECHNICAL DATA

The motor in your food processor operates
on standard line operating current. The
appropriate voltage and frequency for your
machine are shown on the lower housing
under the base.
An automatic, temperature-controlled
circuit breaker in the motor ensures
complete protection against motor
burnout. If the processor runs for an
exceptionally long time when chopping,
mixing or kneading a thick or heavy
mixture in successive batches, the
motor may overheat. If this happens, the
processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for
the motor to cool before proceeding. It will
usually cool within 10 minutes. In extreme
cases, it could take an hour.
Safety switches prevent the machine from
operating when the work bowl or the cover
is not locked into position. The motor
stops within seconds when the motor is
turned off, and a fast-stop circuit stops
it instantly when the pusher assembly is
removed.
