Chopping certain foods may
scratch or cloud the work bowl.
Among them are ice, whole spices
and oils like wintergreen. If you like
to prepare your own spice blends,
you nuy want to keep a second
bowl just for that purpose.
The base housing is made of a
tough plastic with high impact
resistance. Its smooth surface will
look new for years. Keep a sponge
handy as you work and wipe spills
from the base.
Four rubber feet on the underside
keep the base from moving on most
work surfaces when the machine is
processing heavy loads. If the feet
leave spots on the counter, spray
them with a spot remover like
Fantastik or K2-R and wipe with a
damp sponge. If any trace of the
spot remains, repeat the procedure
and wipe the area with a damp
sponge and non-abrasive cleaning
powder.
To clean the inside of the
detachable stem, slide the stem
release button on the side up as far
as it will go and hold it there as you
run water through the stem.
IMPORTANT: Never store any
blade or disc on the motor shaft.
No blade or disc should be placed
on the shaft except when the
processor is about to be used.

SOME TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food processor
operates on standard line operating
current. The appropriate voltage -
and frequency for your machine are
shown on a label under the base.
An automatic, temperature-
controlled circuit breaker in the
motor ensures complete protection
against motor burnout. If the
processor runs for an exceptionally
long time when chopping, mixing
or kneading a thick or heavy
mixture in successive batches, the
motor may overheat. It this
happens, the processor will stop.
Turn it off and wait for the motor to
cool off before proceeding. It will
usually cool off within 10 minutes.
In extreme cases, it could take an
hour.
Safety switches prevent the
machine from operating when the
work bowl or the cover is not
locked into position. The motor
stops within seconds when the
motor is turned off. and a fast-stop
circuit stops it instantly when the
pusher assembly is unlocked.
