Unplug cord from outlet when not in
use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.
5.

fingers out of discharge opening.
6.

damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our

The use of attachments not recom-
mended or sold by Hamilton Beach/

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 pro-
cessing 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.

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 elec-
trical 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 appli-
ance 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.
