excessive temperature in the motor or
drive system. Should this occur during
use and the appliance stops
functioning, follow the re-setting
procedure below:
1. Turn the “ON/OFF” speed control
to the “OFF” position
2. Unplug the unit from the wall
receptacle.
3. Remove and empty the processor
bowl. Ensure that no food is
jamming the cutting blades or
attachments.
4. Allow the appliance to cool down
for a minimum of 30 minutes.
5. Re-install the processor bowl and
re-plug appliance in the wall outlet.
6. Proceed to use the appliance as
before. Should the appliance still
fail to operate, turn the “ON/OFF”
speed control to the “OFF” position
and unplug from the wall outlet.
Allow the appliance to cool down
for an additional 1 to 2 hours. After
this time has passed, repeat the

Hints & Tips:
•
The double chopping blade can be
used for chopping meat, fish,
vegetables, cheese, etc. setting
the speed to maximum.
For finer chopping, increase the
length of time you process.
For coarser chopping, use the pulse
button for a few seconds and monitor
food texture.
Pre-cut larger pieces to make them fit
into the feed tube. When chopping
hard foods (e.g. meat, cheese) cut
into 1 “/2.4 cm cubes.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This appliance 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.
For shredding, place food horizontally
into the feed tube, for slicing place the
food vertically.
