Operation
1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils

injury or damage to food processor. A plastic
scraper may be used, but only when the food
processor motor is stopped.

shredding. Always use pusher.

be placed on the shaft except when the bowl is
properly locked in place and the processor is in
use. Store blades and discs as you would sharp
knives, out of reach of children.

place before operating food processor.
