Consumer Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not immerse base, motor, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance used by or near children.

4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep fingers out of discharge opening.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Hamilton Beach/ Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

10. Never feed food into food chute by hand. Always use food pusher.

11. The blades and discs are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.

12. Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before removing cover.

13. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades and discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the food processor. A rubber scraper may be used but ONLY when the food processor is not running.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

15. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

16. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

17. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to insert or remove blades and discs using finger holes provided for this purpose.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

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 food processor. 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.

Tips for In-Bowl Chopping

• The bowl has a capacity of 3 cups. For liquid ingredients, do not exceed 1

⁄4

cups (MAX LIQUID FILL line on bowl).

•

For more control, process by pressing the LO or HI Pulse button briefly then releasing. Check consistency and continue if desired.

• Tear bread into pieces, then process to make bread crumbs. Break crackers or

cookies into pieces, then process into crumbs for use as recipe ingredients or pie crusts.

• To chop carrots, celery, mushrooms, green pepper, or onion, cut into 1-inch

chunks and place in bowl. This will result in more uniform consistency.

• Chop nuts; mince parsley, basil, chives, or garlic.

• Puree small amounts of cooked fruit or vegetables for baby food or use as a

base for sauces or soups.

• Do not process raw meat, coffee beans, baking chocolate, or whole, hard spices

in the food chopper. This could damage the chopper.
