IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when
using this appliance.
Getting Ready
1. Read all instructions.
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 damaged
cord or plug, or after appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any way. Return
appliance to 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 possibil-
ity 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 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 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.
