Using The Food Processor

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug - one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician.

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories or appropriate agency-approved listing. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

Before First Use

When unpacking the product and removing packing material, handle the Chopping Blade and Slice/Shredd Disc carefully; they are very sharp. Wash all parts except the Base before first use.

NOTE ABOUT USAGE: Do not attempt to chop ice in this food processor; it will damage the Bowl and dull the Chopping Blade. This unit will not whip cream, beat egg whites to a desirable volume, grind coffee beans or spices with a high oil content, or slice/shredd raw meat, marshmallows or soft cheeses.

IMPORTANT: For your protection this unit has an Interlock System. When you slip the Bowl over the post, turn it towards the Base so that it locks into place. Be sure to turn the Cover (or Chopping Lid, depending on use) towards the Lock position so that the Tab locks into the slot on the Base (A). This unit will not operate unless the Cover (or Chopping Lid) is locked into place.

How To Slice Or Shred

1. Slip the Bowl over the center Post and twist it toward the Base so that the Bowl locks into place.
2. Carefully grasp the Slice/Shred Disc by the Hub or its edges with the desired side (Slice or Shred) up, and push it down onto the top of the Discharge Disc. Slip the Discharge Disc (with Slice/Shred Disc) over the center Post.
3. Place the Cover with Continuous Flow Chute onto the Bowl and twist it toward the Base (you hear it click into place A). Position a large, low serving/preparation bowl under the Continuous Flow Chute to catch food and spatter. Rimless bowls work better than bowls with a lip.
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
5. Use the Food Guide to help you prepare food for slicing or shredding. Fill the Food Chute and position the Food Pusher over the food.
6. Push down with a light but steady pressure on the Food Pusher while pressing the desired speed: Hi, Low (MFP200) or On (MFP100) (B), depending on your model. Press and hold the Pulse position for short processing tasks, such as slicing a cucumber. The unit will stop when you release the Pulse button. Use the Hi, Low, (MFP200) or On (MFP100) position for continuous, longer processing tasks, such as shredding cabbage or carrots.
   NOTE: Let the Processor do the work.
   Heavy pressure will not speed up operation. Do not use the Processor continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time. Occasionally, turn the serving bowl during processing to p-Flow Chute that could fall out of the bowl. Be enough back on the counter to prevent bits to
7. After processing food, turn the unit "off" by pressing on the elevated end of the rocker "lever" so that it will be even with the top of the unit in the "Off" position or release the Pulse button. Allow the Disc to stop spinning completely before you remove the Cover with Continuous Flow Chute by turning it toward the (UNLOCK▶ position and lifting it off.

Chopping Blade

The Chopping Blade speeds up many everyday tasks and is designed to chop, crumb, grind, mince and mix quickly.

1. Slip the Bowl over the center Post and twist it toward the Base to be sure the Bowl locks into place.

2. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its center hub and slide it down onto the Post (C).

3. Use the Food Guide to help you prepare food for chopping/mincing/mixing and crumbing, then place the food into the Bowl. Place the Chopping Lid onto the Bowl and twist it toward the Base until you hear it click into place.
4. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
5. Use the continuous On (MFP100), Hi or Low (MFP200) for longer processing tasks to make salad dressing, dips, or baby food. Use the Pulse position for short processing like chopping nuts or crumbing bread. Hold the

Pulse position for about 2-3 seconds: check results; repeat for desired consistency. It is better to use several short pulses rather than a single long one unless mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.

1. After processing food, turn the unit "off" by pressing on the elevated end of the rocker "lever" so that it will be even with the top of the unit in the "Off" position or release the Pulse button. Let the Chopping Blade stop spinning before you twist the Chopping Lid off.
2. Grasp the Chopping Blade by its hub and remove. Unlock the Bowl by twisting it off the Base. Empty the processed food.

Care and Cleaning

NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the Chopping Blade or the Reversible Slice/Shred Disc. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

Cleaning

1. Before cleaning, be sure the unit is Off and unplugged.
2. Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup. Removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher, top rack.
   If washing by hand, use warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a small bristle brush to thoroughly clean the Bowl, Cover with Continuous Flow Chute, Chopping Blade, and Slice/Shred Disc.
   In a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack only — not in or near the utensil basket.
3. Wipe the Base with a damp sponge or cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove stubborn spots with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the Base in liquid.
4. Do not use rough scouring pads, abrasives, or cleansers on any parts.
5. Do not fill the Bowl with boiling water or place any parts in boiling water. Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the Bowl. To remove stains, make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse in sudsy water and dry.
