OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
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.

Tips and Techniques
• For a more uniform consisten-
cy, 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.
• This food processor is excel-
lent to chop, mix, slice, or
shred most foods. However, to
maintain peak performance, do
not use your food processor
for the following: grinding
grain, coffee beans or spices;
slicing frozen meat; or crush-
ing 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, chopped, or shredded
in seconds. If unit is operated
for 2 minutes continuously, let
the processor rest about 4
minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy
vegetables like potatoes as
they are easily over-processed
and will turn gummy.
• To slice or shred cheese, select
firm cheese like Cheddar,
Monterey Jack, or Swiss. For
best results, process cheese
that is well chilled.
• The Reversible Slicing/
Shredding Disc has a slicing
blade on one side and shred-
ding teeth on the other. The
name engraved on the blade,
facing up, is the function
selected. Place on motor shaft
with desired cutting edge fac-
ing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice
then remove from bowl and
restack the vegetables. Pack
into food chute with slices ver-
tical. Slice again to make
match-stick cut vegetables.
