Food Processor
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the food processor, check for possible shipping damage. If this machine
is found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15
days of delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate.
Lift or move the machine only by using the two handles on the sides of the base.
LOCATION
Place the food processor on a suitable sturdy worktop or table. There should be adequate space
around the machine for the user to operate the controls and install and remove the bowl and knife.
THE ELECTRICAL CORD ON THIS MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A GROUNDING TYPE
PLUG WHICH MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. IF THE
RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
Refer to the machine data plate and Electrical Data, below.
CHECK MOTOR ROTATION (Three-Phase Machines Only)
On model HCM62, check the rotation. With all parts in their normal operating positions (pages 4 – 5),
turn the switch to the Pulse position for two seconds and release. The direction of rotation of the knife
should be counterclockwise as viewed from the top.
If the knife rotates clockwise, correct the rotation using the following procedure:
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY. Interchange any two of the incoming power
supply leads in the plug. Reconnect the power supply and turn the switch to the Pulse position to
verify that the knife rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the top.
PRESTART CHECK
With the machine fully assembled (pages 4 – 5), make sure the cutting blades stop within 4 seconds
after the arm is swung back away from the center of the bowl cover.
Make sure the machine cannot be started with the bowl and cover removed but with the arm swung into
position above the center of the drive shaft.
If the machine fails to work properly, contact Service; do not allow the machine to be operated.

The four Bowl Scraper Wipers must be properly
installed in the grooves of the Bowl Scraper. The
upper tips of the wipers point straight up and
slightly toward the center (Fig. 2); the ends of the
wipers are vertical so they do not interfere with
the lip of the Bowl Cover. Do not install the
wipers backwards.
After installing the Lid Plug, turn it so the
underneath side of the plug is flat with the
underneath side of the Bowl Cover (Fig. 3). The
Bowl Cover Gasket must be properly installed in
the groove around the lip of the Bowl Cover
(Fig. 3).

CAPACITY RECOMMENDATIONS
The maximum quantity that can be processed at one time and the length of time required for processing
are dependent on the product and kind of result desired. Shorter processing times give a coarser
result; longer processing yields a finer consistency. The Capacity Chart shows the maximum quantity
of various products that can be processed in one batch and the approximate processing time.

PREPARING THE PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING
Cut products such as meat and cheese into equal pieces of approximately 1" cubes for easy
processing.
For bread crumbs or other dry products, place product into the bowl first, turn the machine on, then add
liquid ingredients.
For pureeing products, be sure to move the Scraper Handle back and forth to reintroduce partially cut
product into the cutting zone.
USING THE BOWL SCRAPER DURING PROCESSING
During processing, move the Scraper Handle back and forth to reintroduce partially cut product that
is clinging to the sides of the bowl back into the cutting area. The Bowl Scraper can also be used during
processing to stir or mix liquid products. The Bowl Scraper has four legs and four lid wipers — this
allows a 90° motion to fully wipe the entire Bowl and lid.
USE OF THE FEED TUBE
The Bowl Cover is equipped with a Lid Plug which can be pulled open for adding ingredients. When
replacing the Lid Plug, be sure to turn the Lid Plug so the underneath side of the plug is flat with the
underneath side of the Bowl Cover. With the Lid Plug in closed position, the Scraper Handle should
move back and forth over it.
CLEANING
WARNING: SWITCH OFF AND UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
CLEANING PROCEDURE.
The food processor should be thoroughly cleaned after use.
Never use steel wool, abrasive cleaning sponges, or high pressure
hose for cleaning. Do not leave the knife shaft wet or setting on
a stainless steel worktop when not in use.
