IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Always follow these safety precautions when using this appliance. Getting Ready 1. Read all instructions. 2. Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully. 3. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord. 4. Do not use outdoors. 5. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. 6. Do not operate any appliance with damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Operation 1. Do not use pusher assembly if sleeve becomes detached from pusher. 2. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food, to prevent possibility of severe personal injury or damage to food processor. A plastic scraper may be used but must be used only when food processor motor is stopped. 3. Avoid contact with moving parts. Never push food down by hand when slicing or shredding. Always use pusher. 4. Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover. (If machine does not stop within 4 seconds when you turn cover, call 1-800-726-0190 for assistance. Do not use machine). 5. Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. To reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should 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. 6. Be sure cover is securely locked in place before operating food processor. 7. Do not try to override cover interlock mechanism. Cleaning To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base in water or other liquid. General 1. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 2. Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven appliance, while under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your reaction time or perception. 3. The food processor is UL listed for household use. Use it only for food preparation as described in the accompanying recipe and technique book. 4. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Cuisinart, may cause fire, electrical shock, personal injury or damage to your food processor. 5. To avoid possible malfunction of work bowl switch, never store processor with pusher assembly in locked position. 6. Maximum rating of 5.2 amperes is based on attachment that draws greatest current. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Compact Cover 1. Do not use the Compact Cover when mixing hot, thin liquids such as soups or sauces. If you do, it is possible that hot liquid may splash and injure you. 2. DO NOT use any slicing, shredding, julienne, French fry-cut or fine grater discs with the Compact Cover. Doing so may expose the user to injury. 3. Although the Cuisinart® Compact Cover may seem compatible with machines from other manufacturers, using the cover with other machines may be dangerous and may expose the user to injury. We specifically caution you not to use the Compact Cover with other brand machines. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
