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

1. Read and save all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse base, motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. This appliance should not be used by children.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer, may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use your food processor if any part is broken.
10. Do not use appliance outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade and disc while processing food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the food processor. A rubber scraper may be used but ONLY when the food processor is not running.

13. The blade and disc are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or disc on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

15. Be certain lid is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
16. Never feed food into food chute by hand. Always use food pusher.
17. Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock mechanism.
18. Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before removing lid.
19. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to insert or remove blade and disc using hubs provided for this purpose. Use caution when removing blade and disc from the bowl, when emptying the bowl, and when cleaning.
20. Be sure to turn switch to OFF (O) position after each use. Always use the pusher to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.
21. The appliance is not intended for commercial, professional or industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for household use only.
22. Never use appliance for a longer period or with a larger amount of ingredients other than that recommended by appliance manufacturer.

25. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: 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.

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 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.

Using Your Food Processor

How to Lock the Bowl

Align base and bowl as illustrated. Turn bowl clockwise until it locks into place. The bowl will lock onto the base in 4 different positions for user convenience.

NOTE: The food processor will not work unless the bowl is locked into position.

How to Assemble and Lock the Lid

Align lid as illustrated by placing thumb on lid tab and twisting lid clockwise. Four visual alignment markers are provided (see illustration), one on bowl, one on handle and two on bowl lid.

NOTE: The food processor will not work unless the lid is locked into position.

Food chute lid hinges onto back of food chute. Push down lid to latch onto food chute.

Before removing lid, switch to OFF (O) position and wait until blade stops rotating.

To remove food chute lid for cleaning, place one hand in food pusher opening and the other on food chute. Rotate hand from left to right and lift up. This will disengage left notch from slot and then right notch from slot. Reverse the directions to place food chute lid back on food chute.

How to Operate the Controls

The control dial is conveniently located on the front of the base. Rotate the knob clockwise to select a speed:

1 and 2 for Low
3 and 4 for High

The processor will run continuously. For instant on and off control, use the PULSE (P) button by rotating knob counterclockwise.

Processing Tips and Techniques

• 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 meat; or crushing ice.
  To achieve maximum capacity, use Chopping/Mixing blade of Big Mouth and add food no higher than the maximum fill line on food chute. See Food Processing Charts for more information.

• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated for 2 minutes continuously, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.

Processing Using Chopping/Mixing Blade

• For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Carrots, for example, should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10 cm) pieces with 12 -inch (1 cm) pieces.

• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.

The Chopping/Mixing Blade can be used to coarsely chop, finely mince, mix, or puree food to a smooth consistency.

1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See "How to Lock the Bowl" on page 4.)
3. Place the Chopping/Mixing Blade onto motor shaft of food processor in center of bowl. Turn slowly until blade drops into place. Handle carefully; the blade is sharp.
4. Lock lid onto bowl. Insert food pusher into food chute.

1. Plug in unit and process food. The processing speed and time will determine the finished consistency of the food. The Pulse button can help you avoid overprocessing. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.
2. When finished processing, select OFF (O) or release from PULSE position. Wait until blade has stopped rotating before removing lid. Unplug the unit.

Processing Using Slicer/Shredder

• To slice or shred cheese, select firm cheese like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss. Place cheese in freezer for 30 minutes before processing.

• The Reversible Slicer/Shredder Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name engraved on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.

• To julienne vegetables, slice then remove from bowl and restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make match-stick cut vegetables.

• Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF (O) and the unit is unplugged.

• Lock the bowl onto base. (See "How to Lock the Bowl" on page 4.)
• Place Removable Drive Sleeve on Motor Shaft. Put Slicer/Shredder Disc on Removable Drive Sleeve with the desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Lock lid onto bowl. (See "How to Assemble and Lock the Lid" on page 5.)

1. To slice/shredd large foods (such as chunk of cabbage, green pepper, whole tomato) open food chute lid by lifting latch. Depress food holder to the right. Insert food and lock lid.

To slice/shredd long, thin foods (such as potato, pepperoni, carrots, celery). Lock lid.

Long foods can be inserted into the chute opening and processed as long as the food chute lid is closed.

1. Insert food pusher in chute. Always use the food pusher to feed food into the chute. NEVER PUSH FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.
2. Plug in unit.
3. Select speed. While pressing on food pusher, select 1 or 2 for optimum slicing and shredding performance or PULSE to process food. Reference the food processing chart for recommended processing times and speeds.

NOTE: The food chute lid is designed to pivot towards the right when processing food that fills the whole food chute capacity.

1. When food chute is empty, select OFF (O) or release from PULSE position. Wait until blade has stopped rotating before removing lid. Unplug the unit.
