If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
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 appliance.
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.

Processing Tips and Techniques

• *This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans or spices; slicing frozen meat; or crushing ice.
• *To achieve maximum capacity, use Chopping/Mixing blade of Big Mouth and add food no higher than the maximum fill line on food chute. See Food Processing Charts for more information.
• *Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated for 30 senconds continuously, let the processor rest about 3 minutes before continuing.

Processing Using Chopping/Mixing Blade

• *For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Carrots, for example, should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10cm) pieces with 1⁄2 inch (1 cm) pieces.
• *The Chopping/Mixing Blade can be used to coarsely chop, finely mince, mix, or puree food to a smooth consistency.

1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base.(See "How to Lock the Bowl")
3. Place the Chopping/Mixing Blade onto motor shaft of food processor in center of bowl. Turn slowly until blade drops into place.
   
   Handle carefully; the blade is sharp.
4. Lock lid onto bowl. Insert food pusher into food chute.
   *Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.
5. Plug in unit and process food. The processing speed and time will determine the finished consistency of the food. The Pulse button can help you avoid overprocessing. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.
6. When finished processing, select OFF (O) or release from PULSE position.
   Wait until blade has stopped rotating before removing lid.
   Unplug the unit.

Processing Using Slicer/Shredder

• *To slice or shred cheese, select firmcheese like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. Place cheese in freezer for 30 minutes before processing.
• *The Reversible Slicer/Shredder Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.

1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF(O)and the unit is unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base.(See "How to Lock the Bowl" )
3. Place Removable Drive Sleeve on Motor Shaft. Put Slicer/ Shredder Disc on Removable Drive Sleeve with the desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Lock lid onto bowl.(See "How to Assemble and Lock the Lid")
   
4. To slice/shred large foods(such as chunk of cabbage, green pepper, whole tomato) open food chute lid by lifting latch. Depress food holder to the right. Insert food and lock lid.
   *To julienne vegetables, slice then remove from bowl and restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make match-stick cut vegetables.
   To slice/shred long,thin foods (such as potato, pepperoni, carrots, celery). Lock lid. Long foods can be inserted into the chute opening and processed as long as the food chute lid is closed.
5. Insert food pusher in chute. Always use the food pusher to feed food into the chute.
   NEVER PUSH FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.
   
6. Plug in unit.
7. Select speed. While pressing on food pusher, rotate the switch for optimum slicing and shredding performance or PULSE to process food. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.
   NOTE:The food chute lid is designed to pivot towards the right when processing food that fills the whole food chute capacity.
8. When food chute is empty, select OFF(O) or release from PULSE position.
   Wait until blade has stopped rotating before removing lid.Unplug the unit.
