When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions.
Toprotect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Avoid contacting moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
- Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the food processor is not running.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
Never feed food into chute by hand. Always use food pusher.
Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used.
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTE: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

How to Use

This product is for household use only.

• Before first use, unpack the product and remove packing material. Handle sharp chopping blade and slice/shredd discs carefully.
• W ash all parts except base.

Important: For warranty verification, please do not remove line cord sticker.

Note: Do not attempt to chop ice in this food processor; it will damage container and dull 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 or shred hard-cooked eggs, marshmallows, or soft cheeses.

CONTROLS

HIGH or LOW - When these buttons are pressed, unit runs continuously until OFF button is pressed.

OFF - Processor should always be left in OFF position when unit is not in use.
PULSE - PULSE button must be pressed and held for unit to operate. When released, unit will stop. Use PULSE for short processing tasks, such as chopping nuts, raw meats, or vegetables. This lets you check processed results and control the fineness.

Important: For your protection, this unit has an Interlock system. The processor won't operate unless container is properly locked onto base. Be sure to attach the container to the base before attaching the food chute/cover. The tab on cover must be correctly locked into the slot on base. Be sure cover is turned fully into slot toward LOCK until you hear it click into place. Do not attempt to operate unit without container and cover correctly locked in place. Be sure base is on a flat, dry, clean surface before you begin processing.

SLICING/SHREDDING DISCS

Either the slice/shredd disc or the extra-thin slice/fine shredd disc may be used for slicing or shredding, depending on consistency desired.

1. Place container over center post in base with handle at left. Turn container toward base until it drops down into place. Turn container counterclockwise until it locks into place (Handle aligns with HIGH speed button) (A).
2. Place the disc stem onto the center post in the container, then grasp the slice/shredd disc by its hub and push it down onto the disc stem.

For slicing - Slicing blade is raised (B).
For shredding - Shredding holes are raised (C).
3. Place food chute/cover onto container with food tube to the left of the handle. Twist food chute/cover
counterclockwise until you hear it click into place and LOCK. Arrow on handle aligns with arrow on the chute/cover (D).
4. Plug cord into an electrical outlet. Use the Food Guide to help you prepare food for slice/shredd processing.
5. Fill food chute with food and position the pusher over food.

1. Firmly press the HIGH or LOW speed button, then press down lightly but firmly on food pusher.
   Note: Let processor do the work. Heavy pressure will not speed up operation.
2. Alter processing food, press the control to OFF. Allow disc to stop rotating. Twist food chute/cover clockwise to UNLOCK and remove.
3. Carefully pull slice/shred disc off the stem, remove stem, unlock container by turning it clockwise, and lift it off.

CHOPPING BLADE (E)

1. Place container over center post in base with handle at the left. Turn container toward base until it drops down into place. Turn container counterclockwise until it locks into place (Handle aligns with HIGH speed button) (A).
2. Grasp chopping blade by its center shaft and slide it down onto center post (F).
3. Place food into container.
4. Place food chute/cover onto container with food tube to the left of the handle. Twist food chute/cover counterclockwise until you hear it click into place and LOCK (D).
5. Plug cord into an electrical outlet.

6. Press HIGH, LOW or PULSE. When pulsing, hold pulse position for about 2-3 seconds at a time. Check results and repeat for desired consistency. It is better to use several short operations rather than a single long one, unless mixing ingredients that require longer processing times.

7. After processing food, press control to OFF or release PULSE button. Allow chopping blade to stop rotating. Twist food chute/cover clockwise to UNLOCK and remove cover.

8. Grasp blade by its shaft and remove. Unlock container by turning it clockwise, and lift it off. Empty the processed food.
   Note: You can empty the contents of the container without removing the chopping blade. From the bottom place one finger through the center opening to hold the blade in place. Invert container or use a spatula to remove food.

DOUGH BLADE (G)

IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions under "CHOPPING BLADE" to install and remove the dough blade.

1. The dough blade can be used to make yeast breads, pizza dough, or yeast rolls that are made with 3 cups (750ml) of flour or more. Use the 2 dough recipes in this manual as a guide when making bread or pizza dough. Be sure to add liquid ingredients slowly as the dough will not form properly if liquid is added too fast.

2. You may have to slop the unit at times to scrape down the sides of the processing bowl.

3. Do NOT use the dough blade to make pie crust. Use the chopping blade for pie pastry (see recipes).

Bread Making Tips for the Dough Blade

1. For best results, use ingredients at room temperature and be sure the butter is soft.
2. Check the date on the yeast package to be sure it hasn't expired. Measure flour accurately by spooning it into a measuring cup designed for dry ingredients. Level it off with the straight side of a knife or metal spatula. Do not pack flour by tapping the cup when measuring.

Note: Maximum amount of flour to be used is 6 cups (1500 ml) of all-purpose or bread flour or 3 1/2 cups (875 ml) of whole grain flour.
3. You may use bread flour, if you'd prefer. Breads will be taller.

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS

Liquids

• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.
• Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time. Larger amounts will leak from container.

Dry Ingredients

• When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to cream butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruits on top of dry ingredients to prevent over chopping. Process using short pulses until blended. Do not over process.

Meat

• When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into 1^ (2.54cm) cubes. Do not put more than 1/2 lb. (227g) of meat into the container at a time. Chop on pulse to the size desired.

Food Size, Preparation and Loading

• W hen using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or discs. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, be sure unit is off and cord is unplugged.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
3. Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.
4. All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
5. If washing by hand, wash in sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean container and food chute.

6. If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only.

7. Some staining of parts may occur. Use a paste of 2 tablespoons (60 ml) baking soda 1 tablespoon (30 ml) water, then apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.

8. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.
9. Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.

Storage

For keeping just processed foods fresh use the included storage lid.
