Other Consumer Safety Information
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read and save all instructions.

do not immerse base, motor, cord, or
plug in water or other liquid.

appliance is used by or near children.
4. This appliance should not be used by
children.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our

information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer,
may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use your food processor if any
part is broken.
10. Do not use appliance outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12. Keep hands and utensils away from mov-
ing blade and disc while processing food
to reduce the risk of severe personal injury
and/or damage to the food processor. A
rubber scraper may be used but ONLY
when the food processor is not running.
13. The blade and disc are sharp. Handle
carefully. Store out of reach of children.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place
cutting blade or disc on base without first
putting bowl properly in place.
15. Be certain lid is securely locked in place
before operating appliance.
16. Never feed food into food chute by hand.
Always use food pusher.
17. Do not attempt to defeat the lid interlock
mechanism.
18. Make sure the blade or disc has come to
a full stop before removing lid.
19. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to
insert or remove blade and disc using
hubs provided for this purpose. Use
caution when removing blade and disc
from the bowl, when emptying the bowl,
and when cleaning.
20. Be sure to turn switch to OFF ( O )
position after each use. Always use the
pusher to clear the food chute. When this
method is not possible, turn the motor off
and disassemble unit to remove the
remaining food.
21. The appliance is not intended for
commercial, professional or industrial
use. It is designed and built exclusively
for household use only.
22. Never use appliance for a longer period or
with a larger amount of ingredients other
than that recommended by appliance
manufacturer.
23. The maximum rating of this unit is based
on using the Chopping/Mixing Blade.
Using the Slicing/Shredding Disc may
draw significantly less power.
24. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner or in a heated oven.
25. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
This appliance is intended for household
use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not use another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit with your food processor.
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.
