840140800 Ev01.qxd 8/1/05 1:58 PM Page 3 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. 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. Caution: GladWare® containers should not be used for boiling, in ovens, under broilers or on the stovetop. Before microwaving, open one lid corner to vent. Handle all hot containers with care. Before First Use Unpack processor. Handle the stainless steel Slice/Shred Disc carefully; it is very sharp. Wash all parts except the motor in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. The following parts may be washed in the dishwasher: GladWare® bowl, permanent bowl, cover, disc, food pusher, disc storage lid (optional accessory), and disc lock. Hints! • For best results when using the Shred Disc for mozzarella cheese, the cheese should be frozen and precut into cubes no larger than 11⁄2 inches (3.5 cm). • Do not use your change-a-bowl™ to crush ice. • When slicing meat, the meat should be cooked and cold for best performance. • Place a thin coating of vegetable oil on the rim of Permanent Bowl to make locking and unlocking the lid easier. • Ensure Disc Lock is screwed on tightly before processing. Retighten the Disc Lock if it becomes unlocked during processing due to vibration. 3
