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 Motor
Housing, Cord or Plug in water or other liquid. For detailed cleaning
instructions see the section marked ‘Care and Cleaning’ in this
instruction manual.
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, before removing food and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp
plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.
5 Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully.
6 Do not use outdoors.
7 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
8 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
9 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 spatula may be used, but must be used only when the Food
Processor is not running.
10 Never push food down by hand. Always use food pusher.
11 Avoid contact with moving parts.
12 Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover.
Never use the cover interlock as a means of turning on or shutting
off the motor. Only use the On button or Pulse button to operate
this appliance.
13 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. Store blades
and discs as outlined in this instruction manual and keep the
appliance out of reach of children.
14 Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked in place before
operating food processor.
15 Never try to override or tamper with cover interlock mechanism.
16 Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven appliance, while
under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your
reaction time or perception.
17 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
WP Appliances, Inc. specifically for this model may cause fire,
electrical shock, personal injury, or damage to your food processor.

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Additional Safety Precautions
• Always use extreme care when handling processing blades and
cutting discs. These are extremely sharp and may cause injury if
handled incorrectly. Always store processing blades and cutting discs
as referenced in the section “Storing Your Food Processor”.
• Unplug from power outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off attachments, and before cleaning.
• Do not put hot liquids into the food processor, warm liquids
are acceptable.
• Place the processor bowl onto the base of the processor before fitting
any attachments.
• All blades and attachments should be removed with care
before cleaning.
• When using the lid with the continuous flow door closed do not
overfill the processor. The maximum levels for the 4 cup work bowl is
1 cup of thin liquid, and 1.5 cups of thick liquid. For solids such as
cheese, vegetables, etc. no more than 4 cups.
• Always remove the blade before emptying the processor bowl of
its contents.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may
be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least
as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord
should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical
rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
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.
18 To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove plug from wall
outlet. Always hold the plug, never pull the cord.
19 Do not use this appliance for other then intended use.
