○ Read all instructions.
To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance 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.

Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the 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 blade or disc while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used, but must be used only when the food processor is not running.

○ Blade is 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 by hand. Always use food pusher.

○ Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

Note: The maximum rating is based on the chopping blade. Other attachments may draw significantly less power.

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

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

Helpful Tips When Slicing and Shredding

• Before slicing fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the bottom of the food to make it flat.
• Place the food cut side down in feed chute.
• Remove seeds and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not overripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and cannot turn or tilt.
• Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
• Chill soft and semi-hard cheeses before shredding.
• After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop. Remove the slicing and shredding disc before removing the workbowl from the processor. Place the disk on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

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 chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined if sharpened.

CLEANING

Note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.

• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.

Caution: The slicing and shredding disk is very sharp. Use caution when handling and storing.

• 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, nonabrasive cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor's appearance.
• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot, soapy water and rapidly raise and lower the chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk up and down on the center shaft.

Caution: The slicing and shredding disk is very sharp. Use caution when handling and storing.

• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only—not in or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts to clean.
• Do not allow chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the workbowl.
