WARNING

: Do Not Immerse Adaptor in Water. Always Remove Adaptor

from processor Bowl before cleaning.

WARNING

: Keep S Blade and Disk out of the reach of children. Store the S

Blade and Disk in the Bowl or in a convenient, safe location when not in
use. This Blade and Disk should be treated with the same caution as a sharp
knife.

Remove stains caused by processing large amounts of carrots or similar
vegetables with baking soda. Rinse stained parts in water and sprinkle with
baking soda. Rub with a soft, damp cloth. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners on any parts.

Maintenance

This unit is designed with a safety interlock. The interlock requires that the
Cover be in place before the blade will rotate. (The interlock does not control
operation of the Motor.) To ensure that the interlock is operating correctly, hold
the Adaptor and rotate the Drive Shaft several turns. The metal Star Drive on

the bottom of the Adaptor should NOT turn. If it does turn, DO NOT USE.
Return the unit to an authorized service facility for repair. DO NOT USE THE
INTERLOCK FEATURE AS A SUBSTITUTE for turning the power unit “OFF”
and unplugging the power unit before disassembling and cleaning. Never put S
Blade on Adaptor without Processor Bowl. Do not operate if the flexible seal is
damaged or missing. The safety interlock could become jammed.

Processing Tips

1. Cut all fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish, seafoods and cheeses into

pieces 1 inch or smaller.

2.  Always hold hand firmly on the Cover when starting and running Motor.
3.  Do not process hot liquids or frozen foods.
4.   Do not process whole spices (except peppercorns) such as nutmeg or

cinnamon. They may cause damage to the surface of the Processor Bowl.

5. Process the hardest foods first, using only a few Fast Pulses to begin

chopping. Add more delicate foods and continue to process using the Fast
Pulse technique. The harder foods will continue to be chopped along with
the softer foods.

6. Processing of Parmesan cheese, dried dates or other extremely hard foods is

not recommended. If a knife cannot easily pierce the food, it should NOT be
processed in the Food Processor Accessory.

7. The Food Processor Accessory is not designed to whip cream, whip egg

whites or process dough. Use a standard mixer for those tasks.

8. If liquid leaks from Cover, there is too much liquid in the recipe. Adjust the

liquid level to prevent leakage.

9. The temperature of cheese will affect how it processes. Cheese for spreads

should be at room temperature for a smooth, creamy texture. “Grated”
cheese should be refrigerator cold.

10. Large, harder pieces of food can be processed with several Fast Pulses to

coarsely chop. Then process continuously for a fine texture.

Only the “Food Chop/Salsa” Pre-Programmed setting is functional when Food
processor is attached.
