Description

The Hamilton Processor & Spiralizer 70815 boasts a sleek and modern design that complements any kitchen decor. The appliance's construction is durable and built to last, with high-quality materials that withstand regular use. The 8-cup bowl is spacious enough to handle most recipes but compact enough not to dominate your countertop. The various attachments provided allow for a wide range of culinary tasks, from chopping nuts and herbs to creating intricate vegetable spirals.

The user-friendly interface makes it accessible even for novice cooks. Each component is designed with safety in mind; for example, the secure-lock lid prevents the processor from operating unless all parts are properly aligned and locked into place.

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.

how_to_assemble_hamilton_beach_food_processor_&_spiralizer_70815.png

With the tabs on the Spiral Slicing Plate aligned to the tabs on inside of Bowl, insert Spiral Slicer into the Bowl facing handle.
With pointed end of Spiralizing Blade pointed down, place selected Blade into Spiral Slicer.
Replace Lid and secure Locking Arm.
Slide Food Pusher into Food Chute.

How to Spiralize

Plug into outlet.
Place the food in center of the Food Chute. Process only one piece of food at a time.
Press Food Pusher Grip securely into food by pushing down on the Food Pusher.
Turn on the Food Processor on LO speed.
Apply light, constant pressure to Food Pusher while processing food. Allow the Food Pusher and motor to work at their own pace.
Keep processing until food stops being cut. About 1 inch (2.5 cm) of food will always remain unprocessed.
Remove the small cone-shaped piece of food left on the Food Pusher Grip. Use as a snack or add to stock, soup, or salads.
Check Spiralizing Blade before spiralizing more food. If pulp is caught in Blade, clean with a brush and rinse.
When finished, switch to OFF ( ). Unplug. Push Locking Arm back to unlock Lid and lower Locking Arm.

NOTES:

If Grip is spinning on top of food, the Food Pusher has lost its grip on the food. Turn the appliance OFF ( ). Cut a flat edge on the food, and try again.
Pressing harder will not speed up the process or make the Spiral Slicer cut better. The Spiralizing 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.

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.

Tips and Techniques

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 the 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 for the following: grinding coffee beans or spices, slicing frozen meats, or crushing ice.
When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results.
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 Food 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.

Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Spiralizer 70815 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.
The Locking Arm is not locked in place over Bowl and Lid.

Food is not sliced, spiralized, 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.
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.
This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for 15 minutes before resuming process.

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 call the Customer Service number.

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.
