Getting Ready

2. Blades are sharp. Handle them
carefully.
3. Always 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.
4. Do not use outdoors.
5. Do not let cord hang over edge
of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, or after
the 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.
Operation
1. 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 plastic scraper may be used, but only
when the food processor motor
is stopped.
2. Avoid contact with moving parts. Never
push food down into feed tube by hand
when slicing or shredding. Always use
pusher.
3. Make sure motor has completely
stopped before removing cover.
(If machine does not stop within 4
seconds after you remove the pusher
assembly, call 1-800-762-0190 for
assistance. Do not use the machine.
4. Never store any blade or disc on motor
shaft. 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 and the processor is
in use. Store blades and discs, as you
would sharp knives, out of reach of
children.
5. Be sure cover and feed tube are
securely locked in place before
operating food processor.
6. Never try to override or tamper with
cover interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not put base in water or other liquid.
