Hamilton Beach Food Processor and Vegetable Chopper

The Hamilton Beach stack & snap 12-cup food processor is uniquely designed for simplicity. Assembly requires no twisting, turning, or locking. Just stack the 12-cup bowl onto the base and snap on the lid. The disc attachments are reversible and labeled for easy use, removing any guesswork from processing. Ensure the label faces up for the desired function and avoid processing foods beyond the max level indicator on the bowl.

For processing different types of food, here are the maximum amounts recommended: - Dry ingredients like crackers or nuts: 12 cups (2.8 L) - Vegetables or fruits: 3 pounds (1.4 kg) - Cheese such as Parmesan or Cheddar: 40 ounces (1.2 L) - Thick sauces or dips: 8 cups (1.9 L) - Liquids like marinades or soups: 7 cups (1.7 L)

Troubleshooting tips: 1. If the unit doesn't operate, check if it's plugged in, the outlet works, and the lid is latched. Ensure the pour spout alignment, the large food pusher is in place, and the food chute isn't overfilled. 2. For uniform slicing or shredding, avoid overpacking the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher. Refer to the Food Processing Charts for guidance. 3. If there's a burning smell, it could be residue from manufacturing. If a strong odor or smoke appears, unplug the unit immediately and contact Customer Service.

The easy stack & snap assembly makes this food processor one of the best in terms of user-friendliness. The simple function guide eliminates guesswork by indicating the blade to use and the button to press. The 12-cup sealed bowl with a pour spout prevents leaks when processing liquids. The big mouth feed tube accommodates whole foods for quick processing, and the powerful 450-watt motor offers high and low speeds, as well as pulse for quick bursts of power.
