SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information This appliance is intended for household use only. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. 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 appliance. 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. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance. base without first putting bowl properly in place.

w WARNING Cut Hazard.

• Blades are sharp; handle carefully.

• Inspect parts before use. Do not use if parts are cracked, bent, or damaged.

• Do not place fingers or utensils into the blade while in use.

1. Align Bowl and Base. Turn Bowl

clockwise to lock into place.

2. With the tabs on the Spiral Slicing

Plate aligned to the tabs on inside of Bowl, insert Spiral Slicing Plate into the Bowl facing handle. Refer to graphic on the Spiral Slicing Plate. Ensure the small hole on the Spiral Slicing Plate aligns with the Motor Shaft.

3. Place end of Spiral Blade or Ribbon

Blade into Spiral Slicing Plate, as shown at right.

5. Slide Food Pusher into Food

Chute. How to Assemble Spiral Slicer How to Use Spiral Blade and Ribbon Blade

1. Plug into outlet.

2. Place the food in center of the Food Chute.

Process only one piece of food at a time.

3. Press Food Pusher securely into food by

pushing down on the Food Pusher.

4. Turn Control Knob to 1.

5. Apply light, constant pressure to Food

Pusher while processing food. Allow the Food Pusher and motor to work at their own pace.

6. Keep processing until food stops being

cut. About 1 inch (2.5 cm) of food will always remain unprocessed.

7. Remove the small cone-shaped piece of

food left on the Food Pusher. Use as a snack or add to stock, soup, or salads.

8. Check Spiral Blade before spiralizing more

food. If pulp is caught in Blade, clean with a brush and rinse.

• Pressing harder will not speed up the process or make the Spiral Slicer cut better. The Spiral Blade turns, not the food.

• Do not lift up the Food Pusher during processing. This can cause the Food Pusher to lose its grip on the food.6 Successful Spiralizing

• Start by choosing the best foods for spiralizing. Here is a general rule: Think about what foods will work well on a manual food grater. If you can grate a food, it should spiralize well.

• Solid fruits or vegetables work better than those that have seeds. Seeds get caught in the Blade and will not make uniform spirals. For vegetables such as butternut squash, use the solid part and save the end with seeds for another use.

• Size does matter. The best foods for spiralizing are the ones that most closely fit the size of the Food Chute.

• When making ribbons, symmetrical foods (like zucchini or cucumbers) will produce better results. Large foods can be cut to fit the Food Chute but ribbons may not be as uniform or pretty.

• Scrub or peel your fruits and vegetables before spiralizing. When practical, you should peel the food. Peels add to the pulp that can get caught in the Blade. Zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, and apples are examples that you could leave unpeeled.

• Center the item in the Spiral Slicer for more even cutting. Foods that are held vertically with the Food Pusher will give the best results.

• Apples, pears, and potatoes are examples of foods that turn brown quickly when cut. To avoid browning, sprinkle fruit with lemon juice and place potatoes in water until ready to use. Be sure to pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

• Spiralized fruits and vegetables can be eaten raw or cooked. Most noodles can be stored 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator in covered containers.

• Dry the noodles with paper towels before serving or, if desired, blanch them in water to avoid watery sauces. Reduce sauces before topping noodles to prevent thinned-down sauces.

• Spiralized fruits and vegetables will be processed in very long strands. Use a knife or scissors to cut the produce into serving-sized pieces.

• Use tongs or a pasta fork to serve the noodles.

• The 1-inch (2.5 cm) leftover piece from processing can be eaten as a snack or saved to use in stock, soups, or salads.

• When spiralizing long food items, guide the item to keep it centered in the Food Chute.7 How to Use Chopping/ Mixing Blade w WARNING Laceration Hazard. Handle blade carefully; it is very sharp.

• For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces before processing with Chopping/Mixing Blade and leave room in Bowl for food to be tossed around.

• This Food Processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use Food Processor to grind grain, coffee beans, or spices; slice frozen meats; knead dough; or crush ice.

• When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce best results and control to attain desired size pieces.

• Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let Processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.

• Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily overprocessed and will become gummy.

• To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.

• The Reversible Slicing/ Shredding Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on motor shaft with desired cutting edge facing up. Processing Charts Disc attachment is reversible and labeled. The label should face up for the desired function. When using Disc, do not process past the MAX LEVEL on the Bowl. For best results do not exceed the following amounts when chopping, mincing, or pureeing with the Chopping/Mixing Blade. ATTACHMENT FOOD Chopping/Mixing Blade Chop: nuts, meat, garlic, onions, peppers, celery, herbs, bread (for crumbs), crackers Mince/Puree: vegetables, fruit Mix: salad dressings Puree: soups, sauces Grate: cheese, such as Parmesan (chilled) Slicing Disc (SLICE facing up) Cucumbers, apples, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, pepperoni, peppers, radishes, firm cheeses (chilled) Shredding Disc (SHRED facing up) Cabbage, potatoes, carrots, cheese (chilled)

Handle blades carefully. w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid. w WARNING Cut Hazard. Blades are sharp; handle blades with care. 1. Wipe Base, Controls, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. If necessary, use a mild nonabrasive cleanser. Never place in water or rinse under running water or other liquid. 2. Wash Bowl, Lid, Food Pusher, Blade, Disc, Spiral Blade, Ribbon Blade, and Spiral Slicing Plate in hot, soapy water or place in dishwasher. Rinse and dry. 3. DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher, top-rack only. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. All removable parts may also be cleaned in the sink with hot, soapy water. Use caution when washing Chopping/Mixing Blade and Slicing/ Shredding Disc.

2. Turn Lid clockwise to lock into

place with Food Chute aligned to Bowl handle. Place Food Pusher in Food Chute.

3. Place saved cardboard

sleeve on Disc and store next to Food Processor. w WARNING Laceration Hazard. Store slicing/ shredding disc with slicing side down. Handle carefully.

1. Place Chopping/Mixing

Blade onto Motor Shaft. Then install the Spiral Slicer Plate into Bowl. Place Spiral Blade in Spiral Slicing Plate. Loosely place Ribbon Blade inside Bowl.13 Troubleshooting Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.

• The unit is not plugged in or outlet does not work.

• The Bowl and Lid are not locked in place. See “How to Use” sections. Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.

• Packing too much food in the Food Chute or pushing too hard on the Food Pusher may cause processed food to be irregularly sliced or shredded. Refer to “Processing Charts” for recommended sizes and quantities.

• For smaller, thinner foods, like carrots, cut in half and load pieces side by side in the Food Chute in an upright position to prevent the food from falling over. This will result in more uniform slices. Unit stops and will not come back on.

• The Bowl and Lid are not locked in place. They may have moved slightly during processing. See “How to Use” sections.

• The outlet is not working. Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker. Unit has a burning smell.

• There may be a residue left on motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and visit hamiltonbeach.com. Motor seems weak.

• The recommended food size and quantity to be processed have not been used. Refer to “Processing Charts” for recommended food sizes and speeds. Cheese is not shredding well.

• Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella must be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding. Vegetables are not shredding, spiralizing, or slicing.

• Store vegetables with high water content in refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well. Vegetables are not spiralizing consistently.

• Remove and clean any food debris from the Blade. Reinstall the Spiral Slicer and continue use. Food won't spiralize. Food mashes or breaks apart.

• Some soft or overripe foods may not be suitable for spiralizing. Choose firm foods. A success tip is to think of foods that can be grated on a manual food grater. If a food can be grated, it is appropriate for spiralizing.

• Not pressing hard enough or pressing too hard. Apply light, constant pressure to Food Pusher while spiralizing. Allow the Spiral Slicer to work at its own pace. NOTE: Pressing harder will not speed up the process or make the Spiral Slicer cut better.

• Food is not centered in the Food Chute. Stop the motor. Cut a flat edge on the food and try again. Best results occur when the food most closely fits the size of the Food Chute and when it is held vertically with the Food Pusher securely inserted in the end, not allowing the food to fall over on its side.14 Recipes Pimento Cheese 8 ounces (227 g) Vermont sharp white cheddar cheese 4 ounces (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese 3/4 cup (177 ml) mayonnaise 1 jar (4 oz.
