be followed, including the following:
❍ Read all instructions.

or appliance in water or other liquid.
❍ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
❍ Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

❍ The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
❍ Do not use outdoors.
❍ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
❍ Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade or disc while

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
Note: The maximum rating is based on the chopping blade. Other
attachments may draw significantly less power.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric 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.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: this appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw
to prevent removal of the outer cover. to reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. there are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or
tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated
no less than 15 amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord
rated no less than 6 amperes.) When using an extension cord, do not let it drape
over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it.
Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and
appliance connections.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

Helpful Tips When Slicing and Shredding
• Before slicing fruits and vegetables in the processor, cut a thin slice from the
bottom of the food to make it flat.
• Place the food cut side down in feed chute.
• Remove seeds and pits before processing.
• Select foods that are firm and not overripe.
• Remove the core from hard vegetables such as cabbage.
• When slicing thinner vegetables, cut them just short of the length of the feed
chute and stand them vertically in feed chute so they are solidly packed and
cannot turn or tilt.
• Shred hard cheeses at room temperature.
• Chill soft and semi-hard cheeses before shredding.
• After food has been processed, remove the cover and invert on countertop.
Remove the slicing and shredding disc before removing the workbowl from
the processor. Place the disk on top of the inverted workbowl cover.

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.
Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the chopping blade or
slicing and shredding disk. They are permanently sharpened at the factory
and will be ruined if sharpened.
CLEANING
Note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.
• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
Caution: The slicing and shredding disk is very sharp. Use caution when
handling and storing.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots
can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive
cleaner. Do not immerse base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand
washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s
appearance.
• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot, soapy water and rapidly raise
and lower the chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk up and down on
the center shaft.
Caution: The slicing and shredding disk is very sharp. Use caution when
handling and storing.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only—not in
or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons
of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand
overnight. Rinse and dry.
• Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts
to clean.
• Do not allow chopping blade or slicing and shredding disk to soak in water
for long periods of time.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby
bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should
make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the workbowl.
