IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when
using this appliance.
Getting Ready
1. Read all instructions.
2. Blades and discs are sharp. Handle them
carefully.
3. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug
from the outlet when not in use, before
assembling or disassembling parts and
before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the
plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull
from the power 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 malfunctions, or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Contact the
manufacturer at their customer service
telephone number for information on
examination, repair, or 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 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 the 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 liquids.
