Consumer

Safety

Information

This

appliance

is

intended

for

household

use

only.

This

appliance

is

equipped

with

a

polarized

plug.

This

type

of

plug

has

one

blade

wider

than

the

other.

The

plug

will

fit

into

an

electrical

outlet

only

one

way.

This

is

a

safety

feature

intended

to

help

reduce

the

risk

of

electrical

shock.

If

you

are

unable

to

insert

the

plug

into

the

outlet,

try

reversing

the

plug.

If

the

plug

should

still

fail

to

fit,

contact

a

qualified

electrician

to

replace

the

obsolete

outlet.

Do

not

attempt

to

defeat

the

safety

purpose

of

the

polarized

plug

by

modifying

the

plug

in

any

way.

Before

First

Use

To

avoid

an

electrical

circuit

overload,

do

not

use

another

high

wattage

appliance

on

the

same

circuit

with

your

food

processor.

The

length

of

the

cord

used

on

this

appliance

was

selected

to

reduce

the

hazards

of

becoming

tangled

in,

or

tripping

over

a

longer

cord.

If

a

longer

cord

is

necessary,

an

approved

extension

cord

may

be

used.

The

electrical

rating

of

the

extension

cord

must

be

equal

to

or

greater

than

the

rating

of

the

food

processor.

Care

must

be

taken

to

arrange

the

extension

cord

so

that

it

will

not

drape

over

the

countertop

or

tabletop

where

it

can

be

pulled

on

by

children

or

accidentally

tripped

over.

Unpack

processor.

Handle

the

S

-Blade

and

Slicing/Shredding

Disc

carefully;

they

are

very

sharp.

Wash

all

parts

except

the

base

in

hot,

soapy

water.

Rinse

then

dry.

These

parts

can

also

be

placed

in

the

dishwasher.

Processing

Tips

and

Techniques

•

For

a

uniform

consistency

when

chopping,

leave

room

in

the

bowl

for

the

food

to

be

tossed

around.

•

Also

for

a

more

uniform

consistency,

start

with

pieces

of

food

that

are

similar

in

size.

Carrots,

for

example,

should

all

be

cut

in

1

-inch

chunks.

Do

not

process

4

-inch

pieces

with

1

/

2

-inch

pieces.

•

This

food

processor

is

excellent

to

chop,

mix,

slice,

or

shred

most

foods.

However,

to

maintain

peak

performance,

we

do

not

recommend

the

following:

grinding

grain,

coffee

beans

or

spices;

slicing

frozen

meat;

or

crushing

ice.

•

Do

not

puree

or

mash

starchy

vegetables

like

potatoes.

They

will

be

over

-processed

in

a

second

and

turn

gummy.

•

Operating

time

will

depend

on

quantity

of

food

being

processed.

Most

foods

can

be

sliced,

chopped,

or

shredded

in

seconds.

Do

not

operate

processor

for

more

than

1

minute

at

a

time.

If

processing

large

quantities,

let

the

processor

rest

about

1

minute

before

continuing.
