Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance 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 by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, 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. 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 your appliance.

Tips and Techniques
• This SaladXpress™ is excellent to slice, shred, grate, or crinkle-
cut most foods. Do not use your food processor for the following:
grinding grain, coffee beans, or spices; or slicing meat or frozen
foods.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed.
Most foods can be sliced, grated, or shredded in seconds. If unit
is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let the
processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
• 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.
• To prevent browning of some sliced fruits, mix 1 Tablespoon lemon
juice with 1 cup water. Soak 3 to 5 minutes; drain fruit and pat dry
with a paper towel. Refrigerate fruit immediately.

PROBLEM
Food is not sliced or
shredded uniformly.
Unit stops and will
not come back on.
Unit has a burning smell.
Cheese is not shredding
well.
Fruits or vegetables are not
shredding or slicing.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the
processed food to be irregulary sliced or shredded.
• Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have
overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.
• Unplug unit, allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then press ON. If none of these suggestions correct
the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number to get the name of
your nearest Authorized Service Center.
• There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor
during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit
IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.
• 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.
• Fruits or vegetables should be firm and not overripe. Store vegetables with high water content in the
refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.
