IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from wall outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Consumer Support at the toll-free number listed in the warranty section. This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance must be replaced.
• The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.
• Do not open the cover until blades stop.
• Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while chopping food to prevent possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the food chopper is not running.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
• Be certain cover is locked securely in place before operating appliance.
• Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If an extension cord is used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

HOW TO USE

1. Place the bowl onto the base, fitting the tabs on the base of the bowl into the slots on the base.
   
2. Place the blade assembly into the bowl, over the center shaft. Rotate the blade until it rests on the bottom of the bowl.
   
3. Place food to be processed in the bowl. Fit the lid on the bowl, making sure the seal is secure. Once assembled, plug the chopper into an outlet.
   
4. Press the textured area on the tab to pulse. Do not remove cover until blade has stopped running.

NOTES:

• Before first use, wash lid, bowl, and blade in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack only).
• Use the chopper with a pulsing action. Avoid running the motor continuously for periods over 1 minute. The longer the continuous pulse, the finer the texture. For coarsely chopped foods, use short pulses.
• To slowly add liquids, use the oil holes on the top of the cover.
