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

• 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.
• 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 grain, coffee beans, or spices; slicing frozen meats; kneading dough; 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 should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice and then remove from bowl. Restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make matchstick-cut vegetables.

Processing Charts

Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The label should face up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not process past the MAX LEVEL on the bowl.

ATTACHMENT FOODS

Chopping/Mixing Blade Chop: nuts, meat, garlic, onions, peppers, celery, herbs, bread (for crumbs), crackersMince/Puree: vegetables, fruitMix: salad dressingsPuree: soups, saucesGrate: cheese, such as Parmesan (chilled)

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE

Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.	• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work? • Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections.
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 the processed food to be irregularly sliced or shredded. Refer to the Food Processing Charts for recommended sizes and quantities.
Unit stops and will not come back on.	• Is the lid locked in place? See “How to Use” sections. • Is the outlet still 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. • Turn unit OFF, allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back ON. • If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number.
Unit has a burning smell.	• There may be a residue left on the 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.	• Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food 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 should 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 the refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.
