Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. 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 appliance. 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. WATTAGE/PEAK POWER INFORMATION The marked rating of the food processor is determined by Underwriters Laboratories as the maximum stabilized power consumption of the food processor at high speed under a loaded condition. Peak power is an average of the maximum wattage a food processor may consume during initial operation at high speed. Before First Use Unpack food processor. Handle chopping/ mixing blade and slicing/shredding disc carefully; they are very sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse; then dry. These parts may also be washed in a dishwasher. 3
