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. Always unplug from outlet when not
in use, before putting on or taking off 
parts, before removing food 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. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other
utensils away from moving blades or 
discs while processing food, to prevent 
the possibility of severe personal injury 
or damage to food processor. A plastic 
scraper may be used, but only when the 
food processor motor is stopped.
2. Avoid contact with moving parts. Never
push food down into feed tube by hand 
when slicing or shredding. Always use 
pusher.
3. Make sure motor has completely stopped
before removing cover. (If machine does 
not stop within 4 seconds after you 
remove the pusher assembly, unplug and 
call 1-800-762-0190 for assistance. Do 
not use the machine.)
4. 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.
5. Be sure cover and feed tube are securely
locked in place before operating food 
processor. 
6. Never try to override or tamper with cover
interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do 
not put base in water or other liquid.
