Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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.

The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the Slicing/Shredding Disc. Using the Chopping/Mixing Blade may draw significantly less power.

Before First Use

Unpack processor. Handle Chopping/Mixing Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc(s) carefully; they are very sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. These parts can also be placed on the top rack of a dishwasher.

Processing Tips and Techniques

• For a uniform consistency when chopping, leave room in the bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• For a consistent texture, foods should be cut into 1-inch cubes before mincing or chopping with the Chopping/Mixing Blade.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed 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 1 minute at a time. If processing large quantities, let the processor rest about 1 minute before continuing.

- The bowl will hold 2 cups of liquid. Refer to Food Processing Charts for other capacities. Do not overfill.

NOTE: To maintain peak performance, and to prevent etching or clouding of the bowl, do not use your food processor for the following:

- grinding grain, coffee beans or spices

- slicing frozen meat; or crushing ice.

Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. This label should face up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not process past the Max Fill Line on the Bowl.
