Food Processor Safety
Consumer Safety Information
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 is 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, electrical repair,
mechanical repair, or 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.
Use caution when removing blades and
discs from the bowl, when emptying the
bowl, and when cleaning.
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.

Using Your Food Processor
Hints!
• The bowl will hold 6 to 7 cups of dry
ingredients or 2 cups of liquid. Do not
overfill.
• Do not use your food processor to
crush ice.
• For consistent texture, foods should be
cut into 1-inch cubes before mincing or
chopping with the S-Blade.
NOTES:
• Always lock the processor bowl on
base before putting any blade or disc
in position. Make sure blade or disc
is securely in place before using.
• With this food processor you can
process in the processor bowl or use
continuous processing option for slicing and shredding into a separate
container. The continuous feed chute
allows slicing or shredding foods in
large quantities.
• Do not use continuous processing to
slice meat or cheese. The texture of
these foods tends to clog the the
continuous feed chute.
How to Lock the Bowl
Place bowl onto base with the handle
facing you. Rotate the bowl counterclockwise until it locks into place.
How to Lock the Cover
Place cover on bowl with “Unlock”
arrow aligned with arrow on control
panel. Turn counterclockwise until
“Lock” symbol aligns with arrow.
NOTE: THE MOTOR WILL NOT
OPERATE UNLESS COVER IS
LOCKED. This ensures the cover is
always securely latched when unit is
in operation.

Slicer/Shredder Disc
• To slice or shred cheese, select firm
cheese like cheddar, monterey jack,
or swiss. Place cheese in freezer for
1 hour before processing.
• The Reversible Slicer/Shredder Disc
has a slicing blade on one side and
shredding teeth on the other. Place
on 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.
4. Put disc shaft on center column and
put Slicer/Shredder Disc in place
with the desired side facing up for
either slicing or shredding. Lock
cover onto bowl. (See “How to Lock
the Cover” on page 4.)
5. 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.
6. Plug in unit and process food.
7. Select speed. While pressing on
food pusher, move switch to ON ( l )
or PULSE/MOMENTARY to
process food.
8. When food chute is empty, move
switch to OFF ( O ) or release from
PULSE/MOMENTARY position.
Wait until blade has stopped
rotating before removing cover.
1. Make sure the Control Switch is
turned to OFF ( O ) and the unit is
unplugged.
2. Lock the bowl onto base. (See “How
to Lock the Bowl” on page 4.)
3. Choose the blade or disc to be used:
S-Blade or Slicer/Shredder Disc.
Handle carefully; the blades and disc
are sharp. (See the “Processing
Chart” on page 7 for more information about which attachment to use
for your specific application.)
S-Blade
The S-Blade should be used to mince
or chop foods, mix ingredients, or to
puree a mixture.
4. Place the S-Blade onto center column of food processor in center of
bowl. Turn slowly until blade drops
into place.
5. Lock cover onto bowl. (See “How to
Lock the Cover” on page 4.) Insert
food pusher into food chute.
6. Plug in unit and process food to
desired texture. The processing
speed and time will determine the
finished consistency of the food. The
PULSE/MOMENTARY position
can help you avoid over-processing.
