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 when slicing or shredding food. 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.

NOTE: This unit is not recommended for processing meat or cheeses.
