Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying 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 food processor. 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.
Before First Use
Unpack processor. Handle the
S-Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc
carefully; they are very sharp.
Wash all parts except the base in hot,
soapy water. Rinse then dry. These
parts can also be placed in the
dishwasher.
Processing Tips and Techniques
• For a uniform consistency when
chopping, leave room in the bowl
for the food to be tossed around.
• Also 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 chunks.
Do not process 4-inch pieces with
1
⁄2-inch pieces.
• This food processor is excellent to
chop, mix, slice, or shred most
foods. However, to maintain peak
performance, we do not recommend
the following: grinding grain, coffee
beans or spices; slicing frozen meat;
or crushing ice.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes. They will
be overprocessed in a second and
turn gummy.
• Operating time will depend on quantity
of food being processed. Most foods
can be sliced, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. Do not operate processor
for more than one minute at a time. If
processing large quantities, let the
processor rest about one minute
before continuing.
