Premium 12-Cup Food Processor and Vegetable Chopper, BPA-Free

The Hamilton Beach stack & snap 12 cup food processor is designed to be uniquely simple, requiring no twisting, turning or locking during assembly. Instead, it's as easy as stacking the 12 cup bowl onto the base, then snapping on the lid. The disc attachments are reversible and labeled, which takes the guesswork out of processing - the label should face up for the desired function. When using a disc attachment, users should not process foods past the max level indicator on the bowl.

This food processor has a variety of maximum capacities for different types of food: 12 cups (2.8 L) for dry ingredients such as crackers or nuts, 3 pounds (1.4 kg) for vegetables or fruits, 40 ounces (1.2 L) for cheese such as Parmesan or Cheddar, 8 cups (1.9 L) for thick sauces or dips, and 7 cups (1.7 L) for liquids such as marinades or soups.

The troubleshooting guide covers several common issues. If the unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse, users should check that it is plugged in, the outlet is working, the lid is latched in place, the large food pusher is in the chute, and the food chute is not overfilled. If the food is not sliced or shredded uniformly, it may be due to packing too much food in the chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher. A burning smell during initial use is likely due to residue from the manufacturing process, but if a strong odor or smoke appears, the unit should be unplugged immediately and the customer service number called.

The Hamilton Beach food processor features an easy stack and snap assembly, with no difficult twisting and locking required. It also includes a simple function guide to eliminate guesswork, allowing users to chop and puree with the stainless steel S-blade or shred and slice with the reversible disc. The large 12 cup sealed bowl prevents leaks when processing liquid recipes, and the big mouth feed tube accommodates whole foods for quick and easy processing with less pre-cutting. Finally, the powerful 450 watt motor provides high and low speeds, as well as pulse, to handle all types of ingredients.
