Electrical Requirements
Volts: 120 V.A.C. only.
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: This Food Processor has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.

Food Processor Features
Work Bowl Cover
with Tall Feed Tube
Feed tube accommodates long food
items with a minimum of sectioning.
Unlike extra-wide feed tubes, there is
no pusher interlock system, so the
entire length of the tube can be filled
with food.

Pusher moves food through the
tall feed tube smoothly and easily.
The pusher can also be used as a
convenient 8 oz. (235 ml)
measuring cup.
9-Cup (2 l) Work Bowl
The tough polycarbonate bowl
provides capacity for large jobs.
Mini Bowl and Mini Blade
4-cup (945 ml) bowl and stainless
steel blade are perfect for small
chopping and mixing jobs.
Fine (2 mm) Slicing Disc
Disc produces approximately 1⁄16-inch
(2 mm) slices of most foods, from
delicate strawberries to partially
frozen meats.
Medium (4 mm) Shredding Disc
Disc produces approximately 1⁄8-inch
(4 mm) shreds of most firm fruits,
vegetables, and cheese.
Disc Stem
Stem fits over the power shaft on the
base and into the bottom of a slicing
or shredding disc.
Stainless Steel
Multipurpose Blade
Versatile blade chops, minces, blends,
mixes, and emulsifies in a matter of
seconds.
Dough Blade
The dough blade is specially designed
for mixing and kneading yeast dough.
Heavy-Duty Base

pulse buttons along with the power
shaft, which rotates the blades and
discs.

Special shape facilitates food removal
from bowls, discs, and blades.

Preparing the Food Processor for Use
Before First Use
Before using your Food Processor for
the first time, wash the work bowl,
work bowl cover, mini bowl, feed
tube pusher, discs, and blades either
by hand or in the dishwasher (see
“Cleaning the Food Processor” on
page 12).
Work Bowl Assembly
1. Place the Food Processor base on a
dry, level countertop with the
controls facing forward. Do not
plug in the unit until it is
completely assembled.
2. With the handle just to the left of
center, place the work bowl on the
base, fitting the center opening
over the power shaft.
3. Grasp the work bowl handle and
turn the bowl to the right until it
locks into position.
4. Insert the desired accessory into
the work bowl. See the next page
for accessory instructions.
5. Place the work bowl cover on the
work bowl with the feed tube just
to the left of the work bowl
handle. Grasp the feed tube and
turn the cover to the right until it
locks into place.
NOTE: Do not attach the cover to the
work bowl before the work bowl is
locked on the base. Damage to the
work bowl may result.
6. Fit the food pusher into the feed
tube.
7. Plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet.
NOTE: Your Food Processor will not
operate unless the work bowl and
work bowl cover are properly locked
on the base.
Do not remove the work bowl from
the base without first removing the
work bowl cover. Damage to the
work bowl may result.
WARNING

Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in
