SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when
using this appliance.
Getting Ready

in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, before removing food and before
cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull
from electrical outlet. Never pull cord
.
3. Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully.
4. Do not use outdoors.
5. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
damaged cord or plug, or after appliance

way. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
Operation
1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other
utensils away from moving blades or
discs while processing food, to prevent
the possibility 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 contact with moving parts. Never
push food down into feed tube by hand
when slicing or shredding. Always use
pusher.
3. Make sure motor has completely stopped
before removing cover. (If machine does
not stop within 4 seconds after you
remove the pusher assembly, unplug and
call 1-800-762-0190 for assistance. Do
not use the machine.)
4. Never store the blade or discs 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 the blade and discs as you
would sharp knives, out of reach of
children.
5. Be sure cover and feed tube are securely
locked in place before operating food
processor.
6. Never try to override or tamper with cover
interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do
not put base in water or other liquid.
