Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
29. Never use appliance for a longer period or with a larger
amount of ingredients other than that recommended by appliance manufacturer.
30. The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the
puree/chopping blade. Using the slicing/shredding disc may draw significantly less power.
31. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in
a heated oven.
32. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.

Introduction
Congratulations. You’ve taken the first steps towards making your baby’s experience with food healthy, fresh, and delicious! Hamilton Beach’s Baby Food Maker streamlines the process from slicing to steaming to pureeing. This is one appliance that can grow with you as you guide your baby from purees to toddler finger foods and on to join you at the table.
Around four to six months of age, most babies are ready to try solid foods, starting with thin infant cereal. Your doctor’s recommendations and your own opinions are your best guides to what is right for your baby. Knowing when and what foods to start with is up to you. But, always check with your pediatrician on the appropriate foods to feed your baby and how to introduce them.
Remember, never leave a child unattended while eating. Let’s get started.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PEDIATRICIAN ON APPROPRIATE FOODS FOR YOUR CHILD.
Your included cookbook can also be found on

Tips and Techniques
• Only use water in the water reservoir. Fill water reservoir to MAX fill line only.
• When chopping, pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before processing with Puree/Chopping Blade and leave room in bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let the processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.
for a more uniform consistency,
start with
• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
• The reversible slicing/shredding disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
• This baby food maker is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your baby food maker for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans, or spices; slicing frozen meats; kneading dough; or crushing ice.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.
Food consistency is not smooth enough.
Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.
Cheese is not shredding well.
Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.
Unit stops and will not come back on.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the processed food to be irregulary sliced or shredded. Refer to the Processing Charts for recommended sizes and quantities.
• Raw food pieces were not small enough. Add additional liquid and process longer.
• Store vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior to shredding or slicing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well.
• Cheese should be shredded or sliced immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to shredding or slicing to ensure it is firm enough.
• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?
• Are the bowl and lid locked in place? See “Preparing Pureed Baby Food” section.
• Are the bowl and lid locked in place? They may have moved slightly during processing. See “Preparing Pureed Baby Food” section.
• Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.
• Turn unit OFF (O), allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back ON. If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number to get the name of your nearest Authorized Service Center.

• Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Processing Charts for recommended food sizes and speeds.
• Rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the snaps, located on the base. Do not lock bowl and lid during storage.
• Water reservoir is dry. Add water to the reservoir.
• Clean following instructions on page 15.
