Use interlocks, pushers, blades, discs, and cleanup routines without bypassing the machine's safeguards.
Place the bowl, spindle, attachment, lid, and pusher assembly in the sequence specified for the model. Never defeat an interlock or operate a cracked bowl or damaged lid.
Keep the base stable on a dry, level counter with the cord away from heat, water, and edges. Stop if vibration becomes abnormal.
Guide food through the tube with the correct pusher. Never insert fingers, a spoon, a knife, or another tool into the feed opening while the processor is connected to power.
Trim ingredients to fit rather than forcing them. Let the blade or disc cut under steady pressure.
Unplug before inserting or removing a blade, scraping the bowl, clearing a jam, or cleaning the processor. Wait until every moving part stops before opening the lid.
If the motor stalls, release the control and follow the manual's overload or cooling instructions. Do not reach in to diagnose a connected appliance.
Use blade covers, an accessory case, or a stable dedicated location that protects cutting edges and hands. Do not leave a disc loose in a drawer where someone can grab it blindly.
Keep the processor and attachments away from children. Review the current manual if a different person will use an unfamiliar model.
