Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the
outlet.
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. The extension cord must be a grounding-type,
3-wire cord. 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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If
the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug
and allow it to cool down for 15 minutes. Plug machine back in
after 15 minutes to resume normal operation.

Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consistency,
start with pieces of food that
are similar in size. Cut food
into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
before processing with
chopping/mixing blade and
leave room in work bowl for
the food to be tossed around.
• This food processor is
excellent to chop, dice, mix,
slice, or shred most foods.
However, to maintain peak
performance, do not use
your food processor for the
following: grinding coffee
beans or spices, slicing frozen
meats, or crushing ice.
• When chopping foods, pulsing
on and off will produce the
best results.
• Operating time will depend
on quantity of food being
processed. Most foods can
be sliced, diced, chopped,
or shredded in seconds. The
appliance normal operating
cycle is a maximum 2-minute
high-speed operation followed
by a 1-minute off period.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily overprocessed
and will become gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, use
only firm cheese like Cheddar
or Swiss that has been chilled
for at least 30 minutes.
Cheese should be processed
immediately after being
removed from the refrigerator.
Soft cheese like mozzarella
should be placed in the
freezer for 30 minutes prior to
processing to ensure it is firm
enough for shredding.
• The adjustable slicing disc can
slice foods as thin as 1/32 inch
(0.8 mm) and as thick as
1/4 inch (6 mm).

Care and Cleaning
Wipe base, control panel, and
cord with a damp cloth or
sponge. If necessary, use a mild
nonabrasive cleanser.
NOTE: If food particles get trapped in the back of the food chute,
place openings on sides of enclosure under running water to rinse
out pieces before putting in the dishwasher.
DO NOT use the “SANI” setting
when washing in the dishwasher.
“SANI” cycle temperatures
could damage your product.
All removable parts may also
be cleaned in the sink with hot,
soapy water. Use caution when
washing blades and discs.
