Chopping certain foods may
scratch or cloud the work bowl.
Among them are ice, whole
spices and oils, like wintergreen.
If you like to prepare your own
spice blends, you may want to
keep a second bowl just for that
purpose.
The base housing is made of a
durable, high impact resistant
plastic. Its smooth surface will
look new for years. Keep a
sponge handy as you work to
wipe spills from the base.
Four rubber feet under the base
help keep it stable on most work
surfaces even when processing
heavy loads. If the feet leave
spots on the counter, spray them
with a spot remover like
Fantastik
®
or K2-R
®
and wipe with
a damp sponge. If any trace of
the spot remains, repeat the pro-
cedure and wipe the area with a
damp sponge and nonabrasive
cleaning powder.
To clean the inside of the
detachable stem, slide the stem
release button up as far as it will
go and hold as you run water
through the stem.
IMPORTANT:
Never store any
blade or disc on the motor shaft.
No blade or disc should be placed
on the shaft except when the
processor is about to be used.

SOME TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food
processor operates on standard
line operating current. The
appropriate voltage and frequency
for your machine are shown on a
label under the base.
An automatic, temperature-
controlled circuit breaker in
the motor ensures complete
protection against motor burnout.
If the processor runs for an
exceptionally long time when
chopping, mixing or kneading
a thick or heavy mixture in
successive batches, the motor
may overheat. If this happens,
the processor will stop. Turn it
off and wait for the motor to cool
off before proceeding. It will
usually cool off within 10 minutes.
In extreme cases, it could take
an hour.
Safety switches prevent the
machine from operating when
the work bowl or the cover is not
locked into position. The motor
stops within seconds when the
motor is turned off, and a fast-
stop circuit stops it instantly
when the pusher assembly is
unlocked.
