SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

⚠ WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 fully into the outlet, 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 extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Tips and Techniques

• Add the bowl scraper to bowl before processing ingredients that will stick to the sides of the bowl.
• For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before processing with chopping/mixing blade and leave room in bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• When using the bowl scraper, do not fill above the scraper.
• This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding coffee beans or spices, slicing frozen meats, or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.

• The unit is not plugged in or outlet does not work.
- The bowl and lid are not locked in place. See "How to Use" sections.
• The locking arm is not locked in place over bowl and lid.

Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.

- Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause processed food to be irregularly sliced or shredded. Refer to Processing Charts for recommended sizes and quantities.

Unit stops and will not come back on.

• The bowl and lid are not locked in place. They may have moved slightly during processing. See "How to Use" sections.
• The outlet is not working. Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.
• This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for 15 minutes before resuming process.

Unit has a burning smell.

- There may be a residue left on motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.

Motor seems weak.

- The recommended food size and quantity to be processed have not been used. Refer to Processing Charts for recommended food sizes and speeds.

Cheese is not shredding well.

- Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.

Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.

- Store vegetables with high water content in refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.
