IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and save 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 is used by or near children.
4. This appliance should not be used by children.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contacting moving parts.
7. 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.
8. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9. Do not use your food processor if any part is broken.
10. Do not use appliance outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12. Never feed food into food chute by hand when slicing or shredding food. Always use food pusher.
13. The blade and disc are sharp. Handle carefully. Store out of reach of children.
14. Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before removing cover.
15. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
16. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or disc on base without first putting bowl properly in place.
17. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade and disc 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.
18. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
19. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to insert or remove blade and disc using hubs provided for this purpose. Use caution when removing blade and disc from the bowl, when emptying the bowl, and when cleaning.
20. Be sure to turn switch to OFF position after each use. Always use the pusher to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.
21. The appliance is not intended for com­mercial, professional or industrial use. It is designed and built exclusively for domestic use only.
22. Never use appliance for a longer period or with a larger amount of ingredients other than that recommended by Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.
23. The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the Chopping/Mixing Blade. Using the Slicing/Shredding Disc may draw significantly less power.
24. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
25. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

Consumer Safety Information
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.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with your food processor.
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.
Before First Use
Unpack processor. Handle Chopping/Mixing Blade and Slicing/Shredding Disc carefully; they are very sharp. Wash all parts except base in hot, soapy water. Rinse then dry. These parts may also be washed in dishwasher.

Processing Using Chopping/Mixing Blade
The Chopping/Mixing Blade can be used to coarsely chop, finely mince, mix, or puree food to a smooth consis­tency.
1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF and the unit is unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See “How to Lock the Bowl” on page 5.)
3. Place the Chopping/Mixing Blade onto motor shaft of food processor in center of bowl. Turn slowly until blade drops into place. Handle carefully:
the blade is sharp.
4. Lock cover onto bowl. (See “How to
Lock the Cover” on page 5.) Insert food pusher into food chute.
5. Plug in unit and process food. The processing time will determine the finished consistency of the food. The Pulse setting can help you avoid overprocessing.
NOTES:
• Always use the food pusher to feed
food into the chute. NEVER PUSH FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.
• Wait until blade has stopped rotat-
ing before removing cover.

Processing Using Slicer/Shredder Disc
• To slice or shred cheese, select firm cheese like cheddar, monterey jack, or swiss. Place cheese in freezer for 30 minutes before processing.
• The Reversible Slicer/Shredder Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
• To julienne vegetables, slice then remove from bowl and restack the vegetables. Pack into food chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make match-stick cut vegetables.
1. Make sure the Control Switch is turned to OFF and the unit is unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See “How to Lock the Bowl” on page 5.)
3. Put Slicer/Shredder Disc on motor shaft with the desired side facing up for either slicing or shredding. Handle carefully: the blade is sharp. Lock cover onto bowl. (See “How to Lock the Cover” on page 5.)
4. Cut food to fit food chute. Pack food chute tightly with food. Insert food pusher in chute. Always use the
food pusher to feed food into the chute. NEVER PUSH FOOD THROUGH CHUTE WITH HANDS.
5. Plug in unit and process food.
6. While pressing on food pusher, select
ON or PULSE to process food.
7. When food chute is empty, select OFF or release from PULSE position.
Wait until blade has stopped rotat­ing before removing cover.

FOOD MAXIMUM AMOUNT
Fruits and vegetables
1 pound or 2 to 3 cups (450 g or 500 to 750 ml)
Meats (cooked) 12 ounces or 11⁄
2 cups, cubed
(350 g or 375 ml)
Parmesan or Romano cheese 5 ounces (140 g), cubed
Cheddar, Jack, or Mozzarella cheese 8 ounces (225 g), cubed
For best results do not exceed the following amounts when chopping, mincing, or pureeing with the Chopping/Mixing Blade.
Processing Tips and Techniques
• For a uniform consistency when chopping, leave room in the bowl for the food to be tossed around.
• Also for a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Carrots, for example, should all be cut in 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Do not process 4-inch (10 cm) pieces with 1⁄2-inch (1 cm) pieces.
• This food processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your food processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans or spices; slicing frozen meat; or crushing ice.
• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes. They will be over-processed in a second and turn gummy.
• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. Do not operate processor for more than 1 minute at a time. If processing large quantities, let the processor rest about 1 minute before continuing.
• Do not make bread dough or cookie dough in this food processor. It may damage the unit.
