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 chopper. 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.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plug,
or base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been 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
surface including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while
processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or
damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used but must
be used only when the food processor is not running.
11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
12. This appliance is intended for processing small quantities of food
for immediate consumption. This appliance is not intended to
prepare large quantities of food at one time.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base
without first putting bowl properly in place.
14. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating
appliance.
15. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

Chopping Tips
• The bowl has a capacity of 1
1

ingredients, do not exceed 3⁄4cup (175 ml).
• For more control, process by pressing the On/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, cheese, coffee beans, whole
squares of baking chocolate, or whole, hard spices in the
food chopper. This could damage the chopper.
