POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider  
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this  
plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
This product is for household use only.

PARTS AND ATTACHMENTS  
1. Food Pusher: The Food Pusher fits into the Food Chute.  
By varying the pressure put on the Food Pusher, the  
speed and quality of processing can be controlled.  
2. Food Chute/ Cover: The Food Chute/ Cover positions  
ingredients for processing. The Locking Tabs on the  
Food Chute/ Cover are part of an Interlock System that  
assures the unit will not operate unless it is properly in  
place (see “Interlock Mechanism”).  
3.  
3. Interlock Mechanism: The Interlock Mechanism is  
located at the top of the Base and allows the Tab  
located on each Cover to slide into it and lock into  
place. This insures proper operation and secure  
assembly, as the appliance will only operate if the  
Cover is positioned correctly in the Interlock  
Mechanism.  
4. Slicing/ Shredding Disc: This dual function Disc allows  
you to slice food on one side, then flip it over and use  
the other side for shredding. Finger Grips provide safe  
and easy handling of the Disc.  
5. Disc Post: The Disc Post holds the Slicing/ Shredding  
Disc.  
6. Knife Blade: The Knife Blade is used for chopping,  
mincing and mixing ingredients.  
7. Container: This 2-cup Container locks onto the Base by  
fitting the Locking Tabs on the Container into the slots  
located on the Base. Turn the Container clockwise to  
lock into place.  
8. Base: The Base houses the motor.  
9. ON/ OFF/ PULSE Switch: This conveniently located  
Switch requires only one-finger operation, making it  
very easy to operate.

BEFORE FIRST USE  
Carefully unpack the Mini Food Processor and remove all packaging  
materials. Handle the Knife Blade and Slicing/ Shredding Disc carefully;  
they are very sharp. Set the Base on a clean, dry countertop or table.  
Wash all parts except the Base in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry  
thoroughly. The Base may be wiped with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE  
BASE IN WATER.  
USING THE ON/ OFF/ PULSE SWITCH  
The ON/ OFF/ PULSE Switch is conveniently located on the top of the Mini  
Food Processor. The three positions operate as follows:  
ON  
When the Switch is pressed to the ON position, the  
unit will begin operation. It will continue to operate  
until the Switch is pressed to the OFF position. Use the  
ON position for longer processing tasks, such as making  
salad dressings or dips.  
FIGURE 2  
PULSE  
When the Switch is pressed to the PULSE position and held, the unit will  
begin to operate. When the PULSE position is released, the operation will  
stop. Use this position for short processing tasks, such as chopping  
vegetables or nuts. You will find that the PULSE position is used more  
frequently, as it gives you greater control over your food processing.  
OFF  
The OFF position is the middle position. Always leave the Switch in the OFF  
position while you are preparing foods for processing and when the unit is  
not in use.  
HELPFUL HINTS  
Fresh, crisp and firm fruits and vegetables process best.  
Fruits and vegetables should be processed at refrigerator temperature.  
Wash and remove inedible parts of food before processing.  
Process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients second when using  
several different foods in a recipe or making several different recipes;  
this reduces the number of times the Container must be washed and  
dried.  
When slicing and shredding, cut longer and larger foods to fit the  
length and width of the Food Chute.  
When chopping, cut pieces in uniform size pieces. Large pieces tend to  
chop unevenly.  
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the Container when necessary.
