SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when using
this appliance.
Getting Ready
1. Read all instructions.
2. Blade and discs 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 a 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 blade 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 coming into contact with moving parts.
Never push food down 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
bowl cover assembly, call 1-800-472-7606 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 liquids.
