IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put
cord, plug, or base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
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. Call our toll-free customer
assistance number for information on examination,
repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or
touch hot surface including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blades
while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury
to persons or damage to the food chopper. A scraper
may be used but must be used only when the food
chopper is not running.
11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
12. This appliance is intended for processing small quanti-
ties of food for immediate consumption. This appliance
is not intended to prepare large quantities of food at
one time.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade
on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
14. Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operat-
ing appliance.
15. Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Other consumer safety information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug
in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
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 exten-
sion cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appli-
ance. 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.

Autre consigne de sécurité
pour le consommateur
Cet appareil est conçu pour une utilisation domestique
seulement.
AVERTISSEMENT! Risque d'électrocution: Cet appareil est
doté d'une fiche polarisée (lame large) qui réduit le risque
d'électrocution. Cette fiche s'insère d'une seule manière
dans une prise polarisée. Ne pas transformer le dispositif
de sécurité de la fiche en modifiant celle-ci de quelconque
façon ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si la fiche refuse de
s'insérer, inversez-la. Si elle refuse toujours de s'insérer,
faites remplacer la prise par un électricien.
La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélec-
tionnée afin de réduire les risques d'enchevêtrement ou de
faux pas causés par un fil trop long. L'utilisation d'une ral-
longe approuvée est permise, si le cordon est trop court.
Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être
équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de l'ap-
pareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour
installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur
le comptoir ou sur une table pour éviter qu'un enfant ne
tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
