CAUTION:
THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE VERY
SHARP EDGES.
To avoid injury when
unpacking the parts, please follow these
instructions.
1. Place the box on a low table or on the
floor next to the kitchen counter where
you intend to keep the food processor.
Be sure the box is right side up.
2. Open top flaps–there will be a rectan-
gular block of packaging material that
holds the processor parts, each fitted
into a cavity.
3. Remove the instruction/recipe book and
the metal slicing and shredding discs
from one side.
4. Lift out the packing material.
5. Remove the base and bowl together by
grasping the handle and lifting straight
up. Do not rotate the bowl, as this may
cause the bowl to separate from the
base.
6. Place the food processor on the counter
or table. Read the instructions
thoroughly before using the machine.
7. Save the shipping cartons and packing
material. You will find them very useful
if you need to repack the processor for
moving or other shipment.

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 the lower housing
under the base.
An automatic, temperature-controlled
circuit breaker in the motor ensures
complete protection against motor burn-
out. If the processor runs for an excep-
tionally long time when chopping, mixing
or kneading a thick or heavy mixture in
successive batches, the motor may over-
heat. If this happens, the processor will
stop. Turn it off and wait for the motor to
cool before proceeding. It will usually cool
within 10 minutes. In extreme cases,
cooling 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 it has been
turned off, and a fast-stop circuit stops it
instantly when the pusher assembly
is removed.
