IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always  
be followed, including the following:  
1. Read all instructions.  
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, or  
appliance in water or other liquid.  
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near  
children.  
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off  
parts, and before cleaning.  
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.  
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after  
the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner.  
Contact Consumer Service for examination, repair or electrical or  
mechanical adjustment.  
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufactur-  
er may cause fire, electric shock or injury.  
8. Do not use outdoors.  
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.  
10. Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.  
11. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while pro-  
cessing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage  
to the Food Processor. A scraper may be used, but must be used  
only when the Food Processor is not running.  
12. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.  
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base  
without first putting bowl properly in place.  
14. Be certain Cover is securely locked in place before operating appli-  
ance.

Before First Use  
WARNING: Blade Attachments are very sharp. Use extreme care  
when handling Blades. Failure to do so can result in personal  
injury.  
1. Carefully unpack the Food Processor. The Storage Tray is packed with  
4 Blades and the Blade Holder Stem. Wash the Processing Bowl,  
Cover with Feed Chute, Food Pusher, Spatula and all Attachments in  
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.  
2. Wipe the Food Processor Power Base  
with a soft, moistened cloth. Never  
immerse the Food Processor  
Power Base in water or any other  
liquid.  
3. Store spare Blades and Blade Holder  
Stem in Storage Stand (see illustration)  
and keep nearby for easy accessibility.

Assembly Instructions  
1. Before assembling the Food Processor  
ensure that the Cord is unplugged.  
2. Place the Food Processor Power Base  
facing you on a dry, level surface.  
3. Make sure the Rubber Seal Ring is in  
position, flat and not twisted, in the  
upper groove along the top of the  
Processing Bowl.  
4. Place the Processing Bowl onto the  
Power Base. The Bowl will only sit cor-  
rectly when the handle is positioned to  
the left at the ten o'clock position.  
5. Turn the Processing Bowl counter  
clockwise to engage the locking tabs  
and the Power Base Interlock  
Mechanism.  
6. Determine which processing blade is to  
be used; Chopping, Shredding, Slicing.  
or Grating. If shredding, slicing or grat-  
ing, insert the appropriate blade into  
the top side of the Blade Holder, mak-  
ing sure it snaps in place. See illustra-  
tion.

ing extension at approximately  
the nine o'clock position. Rotate  
the Cover counter clockwise to  
engage the locking tabs and the  
Upper Interlock Mechanism in  
the Processing Bowl handle.  
Note: If the Lid is difficult to  
assemble, make sure the Rubber  
Seal Ring fits flat and not twist-  
ed, in the upper groove along  
the top of the Processing Bowl.  
Remove Ring and reattach if  
necessary.  
Note: If the Processing Bowl  
and the Cover are not correct-  
ly assembled, the Upper and  
Lower Safety Interlock  
Locking  
Extension  
Mechanism will not be closed  
and the Food Processor will  
not function.

your fingers. The cutting edges are very sharp and can cause  
injury if touched.  
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged. Remove Storage Tray from the  
Processing Bowl as outlined in the BEFORE FIRST USE section of  
this Owner's Manual. Keep the Storage Tray out of the way, where it  
cannot be tipped over and make sure the Tray and all Blades are out  
of the reach of children. Attach the Processing Bowl to the Power  
Base. See ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS for details.

Seal Ring fits flat and not twisted, in the upper groove along  
the top of the Processing Bowl. Remove Ring and reattach if  
necessary.  
Note: If the Processing Bowl and the Cover are not correctly  
assembled, the Upper and Lower Safety Interlock Mechanism

Power Base. See Assembly Instructions for details.  
2. Insert the Chopping Blade in the Processing Bowl over the Drive  
Shaft.  
3. Place up to 7 1/2 cups of the food to be chopped into the Processing  
Bowl (see Food Processing Hints for food preparation details).

Food Processing Hints  
Chopping - For best results, cut or tear food into pieces approxi-  
mately equal in size before processing. The finished results will be  
more uniform. Consistent processing results are achieved if the con-  
tainer has 2 to 7 1/2 cups of fruits or vegetables.  
Mincing - Pre-cooked meat into cubes approximately 1-inch square.  
Fruits and Vegetables - Before processing fruits and vegetables,  
clean and cut into 1-inch pieces.  
Mixing - Quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl  
will vary depending upon the density of the ingredients being used.  
Adding Ingredients - Liquid ingredients may be added while the  
processor is operating by pouring through the Feed Tube in the Cover.  
Using the Feed Tube - The most important factor for successful slic-  
ing and shredding is the way in which the food is packed into the  
Feed Tube. The Feed Tube should always be packed firmly to allow  
each piece of food to support the others. There will always be a small  
portion of food left unprocessed between the Food Pusher and the  
Blade.  
Caution: Never use fingers or other utensils to push food down the  
Feed Chute. Always use the Food Pusher.  
Slicing, Shredding and Grating - Cut all ingredients to a size that  
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the Feed Tube and, while  
holding food steady and upright with the Food Pusher, press down  
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use exces-  
sive force or you may damage the Food Processor.  
Long Slices: Pack food items horizontally in Feed Tube.  
Short Slices: Pack food items vertically in Feed Tube.  
Grating: For best results remember that softer foods such as cheese  
(Cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss) should be well chilled before process-  
ing. Harder foods such as Parmesan or Romano cheese should be at  
room temperature before processing. Note: When grating Parmesan  
cheese do not apply excessive pressure to the Food Pusher.

User Maintenance Instructions  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable  
parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a quali-  
fied appliance repair technician.  
Cleaning Instructions  
CAUTION: The Blades are sharp! Handle with care! Use extreme  
care when handling the Blades. Do not touch the Blades with your  
fingers. The Blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched.  
CAUTION: Never place Processor Power Base in water or any  
other liquid.  
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Make sure the Chopping  
Blade or Blade Holder Assembly has completely stopped before any  
disassembly.  
2. Remove all attachments.  
3. Wash the Processor Bowl with Rubber Seal Ring, Lid with Feed  
Chute, Food Pusher, Blade Holder, Blade Holder Stem,  
Slicing/Shredding/Grating Blades, Chopping Blade and Spatula in  
warm soapy water. Removable parts may also be cleaned in the dish-  
washer. Load parts on the top rack away from the dishwasher heating  
coil.  
4. Never immerse the Processor Power Base in water or any  
other liquid. If necessary, wipe exterior surface with a soft, damp  
cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.  
Storage Instructions  
1. Pack the Storage Tray. Fit the Blade  
Holder Stem down into the recessed  
area of the Tray. The unused Blades fit  
easily into any of the 4 storage areas  
(see illustration).  
2. Make sure the Rubber Seal Ring fits  
Storage Tray with Attachments  
flat and not twisted, in the upper  
groove along the top of the Processing Bowl. Place the Processing  
Bowl in position on the Power Base. Grasping the Storage Trays cen-  
ter hub, lower the packed Storage Tray into the Bowl. Replace the Lid  
and lock before storing.  
3. Push the cord into the Cord Storage area located on the underside of  
the appliance. Never wrap the cord around the appliance. The appli-  
ance should be stored in a clean, dry place.
