Operation
1. Keep hands, as well as spatulas and other
utensils, away from moving blades or discs
while processing food to prevent the pos-
sibility of severe personal injury or damage
to food processor. A plastic scraper may
be used, but only when the food processor
motor is stopped.
2. Avoid coming into contact with moving
parts. Never push food down by hand
when slicing or shredding. Always use
pusher.

before removing cover. (If machine does
not stop within 4 seconds after you
remove the bowl cover assembly, call
1-800-472-7606 for assistance. Do not
use the machine.)
4. Never store any blade or disc on motor
shaft. To reduce the risk of injury, no blade
or disc should be placed on the shaft
except when
the bowl is properly locked in place and
the processor is in use. Store blades and
discs out of reach of children.
5. Be sure cover is securely locked in place
before operating food processor.
6. Never try to override or tamper with cover
interlock mechanism.
