Quantity of food depends on the size of the basket. Best cooking performance occurs when air can easily flow around the food being cooked. General rule is to avoid filling the basket more than 1/2 full. The smaller the food being cook, the more likely the food will nestle together.
Allowing space between pieces of food will allow hot air to flow through and between the food. Baskets with multiple layers of food (such as French fries) will need to be shaken partially through the cooking cycle. Please see your Use & Care for additional suggestions.
Some maximum food sizes are:
French fries: approximately 1 lb. (16 oz.)
Whole chicken wings: 6 pieces
Chicken legs: 3-4 (depending on size)
Fish fillets: 2 (6 oz.) fillets
Steaks: 1 (6 oz.) steak
Muffins: 4 (standard cupcake size)
Vegetables: 1/2 lb. - 1 lb., depending on type
Air fryer models 35050 and 35051 have a cooking frying basket that is 7" in diameter and 4" in height. Remember to allow space between pieces of food to allow hot air to flow through, and multiple layers of food (such as French fries) will need to be shaken partially through the cooking cycle. Please see your Use & Care for additional suggestions.
You can cook a wide variety of foods in an air fryer, from snacks and appetizers to meats and seafood. Frozen foods like chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, and fish sticks can all be cooked using air fry technology. You’ll get even browning on the outside of steaks, pork chops, burgers, and chicken wings while keeping the inside flavorful and juicy. Even delicate vegetables, flaky fish fillets, muffins and pastries can be cooked in an air fryer. There are many online groups that offer recipes.
Refer to your Use & Care for foods, amounts, settings, and cooking times.
Most foods, including frozen foods, will require no oil at all. If you desire an extra-crispy texture, just a light misting of vegetable oil will do the trick. Fresh foods, like chicken wings will require a misting of oil to have a browned and crisp appearance.
There’s no need to pre-heat your air fryer. Just place the food directly into the frying basket, select your time and temperature or choose from one of the 6- pre-programmed cooking settings. The air fryer will alert you with an audible beep when your food is ready. Near the end of the cycle you can check for doneness and adjust the length of the cooking cycle as needed.
When cooking foods that are layered in the basket (such as French fries), shaking the contents of the basket is necessary to ensure even cooking and to prevent the pieces from sticking together. It's a good idea to shake the basket periodically when cooking most foods so all surfaces are exposed to the air flow.
We do not recommend using aluminum foil or parchment paper in the basket because it can block the air flow, which is essential for proper operation of an air fryer.
Before cleaning, make sure the air fryer is unplugged and has cooled completely. Remove the nonstick frying basket and the pan and wash in hot, soapy water. The outside of the air fryer can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or sponges. You can clean the interior of the air fryer by simply wiping it down with a damp cloth.
Too much food in Removable Basket. Shake food halfway through cooking time.
Excessive oil dripped into the Pan or splattered onto the heating coils. Only use small amounts of oil in air fryers.
Too much food in Removable Basket. Meat and poultry should be cooked in a single layer for even cooking. Refer to the USDA website for proper cooking doneness temperatures.

A "smoking motor" is usually caused from binding between the cutting unit clutch and the cutting assembly which connects to the motor. Unplug the blender and allow to cool. Once the blender is cool, check the cutting assembly (see the Use and Care instructions for your model for a parts diagram) to see if the blades "spin freely." Be careful, the blades are sharp. If the blades do not spin freely, the cutting unit needs to be replaced. Once the blender base (without container) is cool, plug it in and turn it on to see if it works properly. (If the unit was not turned off when the cutting unit locked, the motor could be damaged.)
New units sometimes burn off excess varnish/oils from the manufacturing process. This is normal and the smell should go away. If the smell does not go away after the first couple of uses, discontinue using the blender.
Depending on the type of ingredient, an odor may linger within the container; simply store the container without the lid.
Helpful Hint: Rinse the container with a little diluted bleach and water solution.
The speeds give flexibility in the amount of power allowed from the motor to satisfy a variety of blending applications.
Helpful Hints:
On 350W – 6, 7, 8 and 10 speed blenders there is about 500 rpm difference between each consecutive button, and about 2500 rpm difference from LO to HI. On 450W – 10, 12, 14 and 16 speed blenders there is about 300 rpm between each consecutive button, and about 2500 rpm difference from LO to HI.
The blender pulls a higher wattage the first few seconds that it is turned on. This is Peak Power and is important because the first few seconds are the most strenuous on the motor.
Place the blender jar on the base and turn the handle counter clockwise to loosen.
It differs among models and types of material used for your specific blenders. It is best to check Use and Care manual, available on line at www.hamiltonbeach.com. Never use your dishwasher’s Sani Cycle, it heats to extremely high temperatures and may damage even dishwasher safe parts.
The glass jar is top rack dishwasher safe. Dishwasher use may, however, cause the plastic container to "cloud." This is normal.
The cutting unit is not dishwasher safe and should be washed with hot soapy water.
Helpful Hint: While the container is dishwasher safe, for best long-term use and care you should hand wash and dry it.
Model number, type number, series code and wattage information is located on the rating label. The rating label is located on the bottom or rear of your blender motor housing. It may be found on a sticker or engraved into the plastic.

Several factors can affect dough rise, with active yeast being among the most crucial. To ensure your yeast is active and not expired, follow these steps:
Storing yeast in the refrigerator or freezer is recommended to extend its shelf life.
Here are some simple tips to prevent your dough from rising too much:
Yes, Hamilton Beach Bread Makers are great for making gluten-free bread. For optimal results, ensure you're using the correct program and the right type of gluten-free flour.
More information on gluten-free flours:
All-purpose flour: This has a mix of hard and soft wheat, perfect for general baking.
Bread flour: Bread flour is better suited for yeast breads. Bread flour is the key ingredient in making bread and is recommended for most yeast-bread recipes due to its high gluten content that helps the bread keep its shape after rising. Flour varies by region. For example, American flour is milled from hard spring wheat; Canadian flour is milled from hard winter wheat.
Self-rising flour: Contains baking powder, mainly used for making cakes. Do not use self-rising flour with yeast.
Whole-wheat flour: Ground from the entire wheat kernel, it adds more fiber and nutrition content to your bread. Whole-wheat flour is heavier. As a result, loaves may be smaller in size and have a heavier texture.
All-purpose gluten-free flour: Used for gluten-free recipes. A 1:1 replacement gluten-free flour mix works as a substitute for regular flour in non-gluten-free recipes. Use an equal amount of the 1:1 replacement mix as you would regular flour.
NOTE: 1:1 replacement gluten-free flour will not work with yeast bread recipes.
Yes, sourdough bread can be made in our bread makers. Use the sourdough setting and a sourdough starter for the best results. If your bread maker doesn't have a sourdough setting, the French bread cycle can also be used to achieve similar results. Sourdough, like French bread, requires long rise cycles.
Some of our bread maker models have an automatic nut and seed dispenser. If your model includes this feature, place the nuts or seeds into the designated compartment and activate the "dispense/distribute" function. The bread maker will add the nuts automatically. For models without the automatic dispenser, there may be an audible tone (beep) that signals the beginning of the second knead. When this occurs, pause the bread maker, add nuts or seeds, close the lid, and resume the cycle.
To prevent a soggy crust, remove the bread pan promptly from the bread maker once the baking cycle is complete.
The paddle is designed to come out of the pan along with the bread. Use the paddle removal tool to gently hook and pull the paddle out from the loaf.
To remove the paddle, add water to the bread pan and let it soak for 15 minutes. If the paddle does not come loose, contact our customer service for assistance at https://hamiltonbeach.com/customer-service
Please see the Use and Care Guides for details about each model: https://hamiltonbeach.com/use-and-care
Please see the Use and Care Guides for details about each model: https://hamiltonbeach.com/use-and-care
Certain Hamilton Beach bread maker models offer customization options for kneading, rising, and baking times and temperatures. Please see the Use and Care Guides for details about each model: https://hamiltonbeach.com/use-and-care

NOTE: 1:1 replacement gluten-free flour will not work with yeast bread recipes.
To test the freshness of your yeast:
Sugar is necessary for yeast to produce a light loaf with a good height. Natural sugar, such as honey, agave, or maple syrup will work, although results will vary with the type and amount used. Erythritol, stevia, and artificial sugar substitutes will not allow the yeast to ferment and should be avoided.
The combination of sugar, salt, and yeast is essential in bread-making. Salt regulates yeast activity, preventing excessive rising.
Note: Sugar and salt are distributed among slices, so each serving contains only a small amount.
This bread maker features a viewing window in the lid, allowing you to monitor the progress. Quick checks during initial kneading are okay. Avoid opening the lid during the rising and baking stages to prevent potential issues like the loaf falling or improper baking due to temperature adjustments in the baking chamber. Condensation may form on the viewing window after mixing and kneading, but it typically clears once the baking cycle begins, providing a clear view of your loaf.
Some recipes have a bread maker conversion guide, but if not, experiment to find the right proportions. Make a few loaves and use Hamilton Beach recipes to determine the ratio of ingredients. Never exceed the dry ingredient capacity of your bread maker.
Some models have a warm cycle that lets you leave bread in the bread maker for up to an hour after baking is complete. However, your bread may continue to cook or brown slightly. Once the warming cycle is over, it is best to remove the bread pan immediately and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing the bread from the bread pan.
No, it is not recommended. The ingredient proportions perform better when used in the full amounts.
Many packages have bread maker instructions. The instructions on the package will list the required amount of water and yeast. Be sure to add liquid, then dry ingredients, followed by yeast. Do not allow the yeast to sit in liquid.
The bread type setting varies based on the bread mix:
Do not use bread mixes that exceed 2 lb. (907 g) loaf size.
Condensation may occur during mixing or rising cycles but usually disappears during baking. Clean window well in between uses.
If you're facing issues with dough blending or excess flour buildup:
The dough has risen too fast because too much yeast or water was added. To correct this, measure all ingredients accurately and decrease the amount of yeast or water slightly, if necessary. Ensure the correct cycle is used for your recipe.
If the crust color is too light, limit opening the lid, especially once the initial kneading cycle starts. This prevents temperature drops that might hinder proper baking. You can also try selecting a darker crust option (not available on all cycles) to adjust the baking process for a deeper color.
If the crust color is too dark, consider slightly reducing the amount of sugar. You can also try selecting the light crust option (only available on some cycles).
A lopsided loaf might be caused by:
Bread shape varies by the type of bread. Whole-grain or multigrain bread tends to be denser and might appear shorter compared to basic white bread.
Bread will vary due to ingredients and environmental factors like room temperature, humidity, and altitude. To avoid uneven rising or holes in the bread:
Using too much water or selecting the wrong cycle (with incorrect bake time) can cause underbaked or sticky bread. To fix this:
The bread may be too hot. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing. For best results, allow the bread to cool for 20-30 minutes after removing it from the bread maker.
This can happen due to excess flour, old flour, or insufficient water. Try adding more water or reducing the amount of flour used. Additionally, remember that whole-grain breads or those with many add-ins like dried fruits and nuts often have a denser texture.
If the outside of the pan appears dark or spotted, it might be from washing in the dishwasher. This is normal and won't impact the bread pan's performance.
Allow bread to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the bread pan to prevent it from breaking apart.
Raise the lever to its highest point and push the lever to the right or left (depending on your model) until it pops out of its locked position.
Raise the center tab up and slide the can opener to the rear. The screws are located inside the top of the unit along with the cord. This is also the cord storage.
Households have a variety of cabinet styles. Longer screws allow the unit to be placed in the great majority of these households.
The most likely explanation for this is that the can is not being positioned correctly. The can should be placed under the can guide arm with the lid between the drive gear and blade.
Yes. The can should be held, particularly if you have a short can opener. Opener may have to be held over the side of the counter.
Yes. When the can starts turning.
It probably does but, because the unit has an automatic shutoff feature, the blade does not pierce the can until the lever is depressed to activate the cutting operation.
Yes
Place knob on back of lever into large end of keyhole, then push left or right (depending on your model) until it stops.
To open a can, push front of cutting assembly backwards to lift the blade. Make sure the flip-up magnet is in the up position. Tilt top of can in to position cutting blade inside rim of can. Push down top of cutting assembly to start the cutting action. To remove the can, hold the can and push backwards on front of cutting assembly again. To remove the cutting assembly for washing, twist release button on front of can opener clockwise and lift out cutting assembly. Wash, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If you want to wash the cutting assembly in the dishwasher, remove flip-up magnet first by grasping one side near hinge and pulling out slightly until magnet releases from hinge. To replace cutting assembly, place it in position and firmly press both sides until it snaps into place.
In order to get a great tasting cup of coffee: Scoop coffee grounds directly into the The Scoop® filter provided. For an 8oz. cup, scoop grounds to the first line mark in your scoop filter. For up to a 14oz. cup, scoop grounds to the 2nd line mark (MAX) in your scoop filter.
If you prefer to use a traditional coffee scoop method to get started, measure coffee in the following way:
8-oz. cup = 2 tablespoons ground coffee
14-oz. cup = 3 tablespoons ground coffee
To get the perfect taste you prefer, adjust measurements up or down accordingly.
Please refer to your full Use and Care Guide for warnings, additional instructions, tips, and guidance on how to use this product.
Yes. You should unplug all countertop electric appliances when finished using. Unplugging the unit will disable the clock; however, it is not intended to be the principal time keeping device in the home.
The standard serving size for coffee is 5 ounces, not the 8 ounce cooking unit of measurement for volume.
175°-185°F is the standard brew and keep-warm temperature for coffee.
If water is overflowing, the water reservoir is overfilled. There is a drain hole in the rear of the coffeemaker to prevent overfilling. If the overflow is coffee, you may have used more than one tablespoon of coffee per cup of water or not fully seated either the brew basket and/or the carafe underneath the brew basket. Make sure you have correctly aligned the brew basket and the carafe and are using the correct amount of coffee grounds. Overflowing may happen more frequently with decaffeinated, flavored and finely-ground coffee. Overflowing may occur if the paper filter collapses inside the brew basket. Use a good quality paper filter.
The warming plate is not designed to reheat cold coffee.
*Tip: The best way to reheat cold coffee is in a mug in a microwave. Do not pour cold coffee back through the coffeemaker’s water reservoir – it will cause a blockage within the element and damage the coffeemaker.
No. Never place the carafe on a stovetop or in the microwave.
It is normal for a coffee maker to produce gurgling and boiling sounds near the end of the brew cycle as the last of the water cycles. This sound may also be heard anytime the unit is turned off and back on.
Yes. However, if there is water in the reservoir, the coffee maker will begin a new brew cycle.
The 1-4 cup mode slows the brewing process in order to get the full flavor of the coffee without having to use more coffee grounds.
Coffee makers that feature “Accelerated Brewing” have higher wattage, and therefore will brew faster.
The water filter needs to be replaced.
The Brew Selector allows you to select the strength of your coffee. When using the Bold or Robust setting, hot water is dispensed more slowly over the grounds, allowing more coffee flavor to be extracted from the coffee grounds. The Bold setting will take a few minutes longer to finish brewing than the standard brew setting.
Model number, type number, series number, and wattage information are located on the rating label, which is on the bottom or rear of your coffee maker. It may be a sticker or engraved into the plastic.
Watts are determined by multiplying the amps by the volts.
The amps are determined by dividing the volts into the watts. Example: volts = 120, watts = 1000. Therefore, 1000 divided by 120 = 8.3 amps.
Tank, lid, filter, basket filter, water filter, seal and descaler.
Refer to your Use & Care guide for tips specific to your coffee maker.
Fill the stainless steel thermal carafe with boiling water and add a dishwasher tablet. Let it sit overnight, then rinse thoroughly the next day.
Cleaning prolongs the life of the coffeemaker. We suggest that those coffeemakers that are used daily be cleaned monthly.
Our glass and stainless coffee maker carafes are top-rack dishwasher safe as are the brew baskets, pod baskets and brew baskets, but always check the Use and Care guide for detailed cleaning instructions.

Use the BOLD setting when you want a stronger cup of coffee. It is also ideal for flavored, decaf, finely ground, and premium brand ground coffees.
Press REGULAR or BOLD to start the flow of coffee. The coffee maker will automatically turn off when brewing is complete.
The Scoop coffee maker will automatically turn off when brewing is complete.
If you need to stop brewing mid-cycle, press either the REGULAR or BOLD button, and the coffee maker will turn off.
If there is no water in the water reservoir, and a brew button is pushed, the unit will not brew. The LED light will blink for 5 seconds, then the coffee maker will turn off (O).
The coffee maker may need to be cleaned— see the "How do I clean The Scoop Coffee Maker" section or reference your Use and Care.
The coffee grounds used may be too coarsely or too finely ground resulting in a too weak or too strong cup of coffee. If grinding your own grounds, be sure to set your coffee grinder to "automatic drip grind".
There may be an issue with the quality or freshness of the coffee used.
Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If you are buying pre-ground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller amount of coffee.
Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or a combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
There may be an issue with the quality of water used to brew your coffee.
Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will result in better-tasting coffee than tap water.
It's possible the water reservoir was overfilled.
Also, some mugs or cups do not pour well, so water can dribble down the side of the cup and onto the counter.
If your coffee is too weak, try brewing using the BOLD setting or adjusting the water/coffee ratio by using slightly less water and/or slightly more grounds (be careful not to exceed the MAX line for grounds though).
Too much coffee may have been used— be sure to not exceed the MAX line for coffee grounds as indicated on the brew basket. Try using less coffee grounds during the next brewing cycle.
Be sure to use the BOLD setting for flavored, finely ground, premium brand ground coffees, and decaf coffees to prevent overflow.
When grinding your own coffee from whole beans, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will result in the best coffee. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause The Scoop to overflow.
To prevent coffee from overflowing your coffee cup or travel mug, be sure to use the same cup you used to fill the water reservoir is used to brew coffee into.
Insert the spindle up into the motor head, with a twisting motion. This will allow the notch on the spindle and gear inside the motor to connect.

Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding.
For traditional twist-lock models, align the cutout notches on the food processor bowl with the base. Holding the handle firmly, turn bowl clockwise until it locks into place. To attach the lid, align the cutout notches of the lid with the food processor bowl. Place one handle on the lid and the other on the handle of the food processor bowl. Turn lid clockwise until it locks into place. NOTE: The food processor will not operate until the lid and bowl are properly locked.
For Stack & Snap Models, place the bowl on the base so it sits flat and level. Place the lid on the bowl so the pour spouts align and the feed chute is next to the handle. Push lid latches down until they snap into place. For models that come with a locking arm instead of latches, raise the locking arm up and over the bowl until it snaps into place. Note: The food processor will not operate until the lid is fully secured by the lid latches or locking arm.
Ensure the food processor is turned off and unplugged.
For traditional twist-lock models, turn the lid counterclockwise until it unlocks. Lift the lid off the bowl. Holding the handle firmly, turn the bowl counter clockwise unitl it unlocks and the lift the bowl off the base.
For Stack & Snap Models, lift up on lid latches to unlock the lid and remove it from the bowl then simply lift the bowl straight up to remove it from the base. For models that come with a locking arm instead of latches, lower the arm to the counter before removing the lid and bowl from the base.
Some food processors bowls are fully sealed in the bottom and some have an opening. To prevent leaks, do not fill the bowl above the MAX fill line. Refer to your model's Use & Care for more information.
We recommend the lowest speed for slicing and shredding. It may be marked "Speed 1" or "Lo".
We recommend using the PULSE button for chopping. Press in short bursts for more precise control and check progress frequently.
We recommend the highest speed for pureeing and mixing. It may be marked "Speed 2" or "Hi".
For models that include a dough blade, we recommend the highest speed kneading. It may be marked "Speed 2" or "Hi".
Most stainless steel discs are reversible. One side is generally for shredding and the other side is for slicing. Look for the word "SHRED" or "SLICE" on the disc and make sure the function you desire is facing UP towards the lid. For example, if you want to SLICE, install the disc with the word "SLICE" facing up.
Either the plastic dough blade or the metal chopping blade can be used for making pastry, bread or pizza dough. The plastic dough blade has shorter, blunt arms that gently pull and tear dough to knead it. This works well for bread and pizza doughs that knead for a little longer time necessary to develop the gluten in the dough. The metal blade cuts through the dough to quickly cut in butter or shortening, making it the perfect choice for making pie dough.
The speed of a food processor makes quick work of the kneading process in bread baking. Where kneading by hand can take a very long time, a food processor can accomplish the task in seconds. Start with the dry ingredients in the food processor and with food processor running, add the liquid ingredients. Pulse until the mixtures forms a ball by incorporating all the dry ingredients. Then knead for 45 seconds with a metal blade or 60 to 90 seconds with a plastic blade. Properly kneaded dough should be smooth and elastic. If pulled, it should have a springy texture.
Unlike bread dough, pie crust dough should be processed only long enough to bring the dough into a ball. Pulse the flour and butter mixture several times JUST until the butter is processed into pea-sized pieces. Do not over-process. Add ice water through feed tube and process JUST until dough begins to come together. Add additional ice water as necessary. Small butter pieces should still be visible in dough.
Yes you can. In fact, it’s super easy to start without waiting to soften butter. The dough blade or metal blade chops up cold butter and quickly creams it with the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to combine into a dough.
The high speed of the food processor creates heat from the friction of the motor. For bread dough, use cool water and do not over process. Processing too long heats the dough which can kill yeast and prevent the dough from rising. For pie crust dough, start with chilled butter and add ice water to prevent the butter from getting too soft.
Place back of the food chute under running water to rinse out the food.
Most food processors parts are dishwasher safe in the top rack. Refer to your model's Use & Care for more information.
For most of our food processors, we recommend storing the attachments inside the bowl. Install the chopping/mixing blade on the motor shaft in the bottom of the bowl, install the slicing shredding disc on the top portion of the motor shaft. Place the pusher in the chute and the lid on the bowl. For some models, you may store the lid upside down on the bowl for compact storage. For models that come with an attachment storage case, refer to the Use & Care for more information.
Yes
Choose the Attachments
To attach: simply slide the brush on (do not be afraid, it will not break). To detach: simply slide the brush off, using your thumb for strength.
Make sure the unit is unplugged. Insert a small screwdriver into voltage switch (on belly of steamer). For 120 volts, slide switch to the left. For 240 volts slide switch to the right. (If using the 240 volts, you must use an adapter plug.)
Lift the handle release (see Use and Care booklet for part names; the handle release is a rectangular shaped knob) and turn one quarter turn, rotate handle clockwise to extend. Lock handle release with one quarter turn.

Steam — press it about every 3 seconds.
The model and mfg. date is located under the handle. You must unfold the handle to see it.
Unplug the steamer and verify that the fill door on the reservoir is closed and the removable reservoir (if equipped) is locked in place. Dry the unit off. If the leak persists, do not operate the steamer. Contact the customer service line.
Water deposits will block pathways inside the steamer, causing less steam to be produced over time. The garment steamer will need to be cleaned to reduce these deposits and restore performance. Instructions for cleaning can be found in the use and care guide for your steamer.
Tap water is recommended because it has minerals that "season" internal parts. In areas with hard water, use a 50/50 combination of distilled and tap water.
All US model steamers are designed to work with 120V, 60 Hz power commonly used in the US and Canada. In order to use these abroad, a voltage converter AND a plug adapter appropriate for the local power and compatible with the wattage of the appliance must be used in order to ensure that no damage is done to the electronics.
This is a result of water deposit buildup in the unit. Follow the cleaning instructions to remove this buildup and ensure that only clean steam is produced.
Before being sold, all of our garment steamers are tested with water at the factory to ensure they are free from defects. While we do our best to empty the water out of the steamers, a small amount of residual water may remain in the reservoir. This is completely normal and does not mean that the garment steamer has been used by another customer.
None, we recommend against making any type of repair.
Not necessarily. Usually you will not be able to hear the changes other than from low to high.
All beaters, dough hooks and milkshake attachments are chrome-plated. Whisks are stainless steel, except for the shaft which is chrome-plated. We recommend washing all attachments by hand and drying them immediately to prolong life.
No. The Use and Care Safeguards section covers standard UL requirements. These grills don't need an on/off switch. Simply remove the cord from the outlet, then disconnect the prong from the grill.
A standard grilling surface and a solid surface.
The coating is an industry standard nonstick coating (fluorocarbon).
Yes, the grill and the drip tray (base) are dishwasher safe. (This does not apply to the MealMaker Express™ - only its drip tray is dishwasher safe.)
The silver coating (if on your model) is a heat-reflective paint.
Phenolic, a hard plastic that is heat resistant, or aluminum (depending on your model).
Die cast aluminum with a nonstick coating.
Yes, our Home Economist tested, and it proved to ease the cleanup process and not harm the grill or base.
If your grill came with a standard plug, a variable temperature plug cannot be used.
Yes, and the bags make cleanup easy. Make sure to turn the bag over at least once halfway through the cooking cycle to prevent burning.
As a safety precaution, units that do not have on/off switches should be unplugged from the outlet first.
Example: If the cord was unplugged from the unit and it was dropped on a wet surface, it would be unsafe. If the cord was first unplugged from the wall outlet, there would not be a safety hazard.
At least five minutes.
Yes, our Home Economist has cooked up to 6 hamburgers at one time on the top half. However, bear in mind that the top half does not have a drip tray so fatty meats should be avoided in case there are significant grease drippings. We recommend this area be used for vegetables, eggs, breads, etc.
NO, use only clear water in the reservoir unless directed otherwise in the Use & Care instructions.
To protect the soleplate from scratches, never iron over buttons, zippers, metal rivets, or snaps.
To clean starch build-up and other residue from the SilverStone® soleplate (feature found on selected models), unplug the iron and allow it to cool. With iron in upright position, clean the nonstick surface with a warm, sudsy cloth or sponge; wipe dry.
DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads as they may damage the nonstick surface.
To clean starch build-up and other residue from the Smooth Glide aluminum soleplate, unplug iron and allow it to cool. With iron in upright position, clean the soleplate with a damp cloth or sponge and a paste made of baking soda and water.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads as they will scratch the smooth surface.
The full-size weighs about 2 lbs. 4 oz; the lightweight iron weighs about 1 lb. 6 oz.
The light is a power on light, and it will remain on while unit is plugged into a power outlet. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE IRON AFTER USE.
Store the iron in the upright position, never wrap the cord around the iron and empty all water from the iron. It is best not to store the iron in dust prone areas such as a laundry room where dust can settle in the opening of the water reservoir; dust will eventually cause blockage and prevent the iron from steaming.
Pumping the "Blast of Steam" button will cause the chamber to flood and the unit will leak or drip water from the vents. Press button twice, allow the blast of steam to evaporate, then repeat.
Tap water is recommended because it has minerals in it that actually "season" internal parts. However, in hard water areas, use a combination of bottle and tap water.
Some irons have an Automatic Shutoff feature. There are several ways the automatic shutoff feature works. Try the following:
The average iron light pulls .001 total amps.
The iron must preheat for 5 minutes to allow the thermostat to stabilize, and it must be set on the proper temperature for the type of fabric you're ironing.
Several things can contribute and cause this problem: 1) Sole plate is not hot enough 2) Defective steam valve allowing to much water into the sole plate 3) Using distilled or soft water in the iron. [we need to expand and tell the consumer how to determine if the soleplate is not hot enough or whether the valve is defective]
Nylon 240F, Silk 275F, Polyester 310F, Rayon 330F, Wool 360F, Cotton/Linen 375F. Remember: The average temp. may vary 15 degrees F (+ or -)
Leaving water in the iron when not in use may result in rusty looking steam.
Accumulation of minerals in water can block steam vents, preventing water from dripping into the steam chamber.
First, try pumping the "Spray" button several times to "prime the spray." If this doesn't resolve the issue, the intake tube may be clogged or there may be a kink in the intake tube.
None. We recommend against making any type of "repair."
Model number, type number, series code and wattage information is located on the rating label. The rating label is located on the heel (end) of your iron.
Watts are determined by multiplying the amps by the volts.
The amps are determined by dividing the volts into the watts. Example: volts= 120, watts=1000, therefore 1000 divided by 120 = 8.3amps.
None. We recommend against making any type of "repair." There are no replacement parts for irons.
Yes, vegetables can be used in the juice extractor.
It depends on the type of fruit. Citrus fruit must be peeled first; with all other types of fruit, it's not necessary. Also, only large pits found in certain fruits like peaches must be removed first.
In order to achieve optimum juicing you should thaw your vegetables and fruits prior to juicing. Thawed vegetables and fruits produce the most juice.
It is a good idea to allow the motor to cool during juicing. The main thing to do to optimize juicing is to ensure that the basket area and pulp bin are cleaned often, because this is what slows the juicer down and causes the motor to heat up.
Acids in various foods will cause discoloration, this is normal.
Helpful Hint: Add about 1/2 cup bleach to dish water and allow external parts to soak. This will remove most stains
Under normal usage, your juicer shouldn’t overheat. The motor has a built-in safety device that prevents overheating and damage to the motor. However, if the motor does stop running, unplug and let it cool for 15 minutes.
There may be a buildup of pulp in the strainer basket. Turn the juicer OFF and unplug. Clean the juice cover and strainer basket using the included cleaning brush or your own soft bristle brush and try again.
Yes, the unit is stable on the counter, and should remain in place with little movement during use. The juicer may move slightly when first switched ON as the motor quickly ramps up to full speed.
Yes, the 3-inch food chute will accommodate many whole fruits and vegetables without precutting. Citrus fruits, melons and mangoes should be peeled before juicing to minimize impact on flavor. Fruits with large seeds or pits such as mangoes, peaches, plums and cherries must be pitted before juicing.

It is not recommended to cut very hard things like bones and wood with the Electric Knives.
The pasta dough is too wet if the dough is balling up around the mixer or a large amount of dough is stuck to the side of the mixing bowl. Additionally, the dough may be too wet if the pasta maker is struggling to extrude the dough. Please note that even with the correct consistency, the dough extrudes slowly at the beginning and speeds up over time. See Use & Care page 6 for tips to identify correct pasta consistency.
If your dough is too wet, press "START / STOP" button and unplug. Remove the lid and break up any clumps or balls of dough with your hands. Add 2 Tablespoons (30ml) or flour to the dough. Replace lid and plug back in. Press "KNEAD DOUGH", then "START / STOP". Repeat as necessary for desired consistency. Once desired consistency is reached, press "EXTRUDE PASTA" to begin making pasta.
If the pasta maker is taking too long to make, the pasta dough may be too wet or too dry. It may also take longer to make if there is over 1.5lbs of pasta in the mixer.
For optimal performance while using the Hamilton Beach Pasta Maker, it is crucial the pasta dough in the mixer is the correct consistency. The dough consistency will not look like normal pasta dough when making traditional pasta. Instead it will look more like pie crust dough. Please reference page 6 of the Use & Care for the correct dough consistency.
If the consistency is correct and it is taking over 30 minutes to make pasta: please email pasta.support@hamiltonbeach.com. We will be happy to assist you in troubleshooting your pasta maker.
When the pasta or quick pasta modes are selected, there may be a little pasta dough left over after the pasta maker has shut off. Simply remove the lid and push the remaining pasta dough to the front of the mixer. Place the lid back in place and press "Extrude Pasta" button to extrude pasta dough.
No, the pasta maker does not have an automatic pasta cutter. The user must cut the pasta to the desired length.
No, the pasta does not have to be dried on rack after extruding.
Once pasta is extruded, either cook pasta immediately, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or store in a freezer safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Some eggs or liquid mixtures may be thicker than the slot thickness. If this happens, press "START / STOP" remove the lid and add the liquid mixture. Press "START / STOP" to restart mixing. Repeat process until desired consistency is reached.
The pasta dough is too dry if the flour has not clumped together at all or the pasta is falling apart when being extruded. See Use & Care page 6 for tips to identify correct pasta consistency.
If your dough is too dry, add 5-10ml of liquid and continue to mix. Repeat as necessary for desired consistency.
All removable parts are dishwasher safe (top rack only).
Please note: Do not mix dough with water as it will mud and be diffcult to remove. Instead, allow the dough to dry before using the cleaning tool. If dough will not come out easily, place parts or disc in freezer for 30-60 min, then try again.
See additional tips on page 10 of the Use & Care for more cleaning tips.

Watch our video for a product usage overview.
The Initial Test Run(Take a Test Run; page 6 of Pressure Cooker Use and Care) helps you become familiar with your Pressure Cooker. It takes 3 cups (711 ml) of water and a 2 minute cook cycle. The Test Run is a great way to ensure that the Pressure Cooker is functioning properly, that the gasket is correctly installed in the lid, and for you to understand how sealing as well as steam release works.
The Pressure Cooker’s Steam Release Valve is a safety device, that regulates the internal pressure of the Cooker by pressing weight on the Steam Release Stem.
The Pressure Cooker’s Steam Release Valve has a pressure rating of 15 psi. The Steam Release Valve keeps the working pressure always under the 15 psi pressure rating by allowing excess steam to escape from the Cooking Pot.
It is normal and safe for small amounts of steam to leak from the Steam Release Valve while operating the Pressure Cooker.
In fact, the steam seen is evidence that the Steam Release Valve is effectively regulating the pressure.
Start by referring to the recipe. The Quick Release method is used when you want to stop the cooking immediately when the cycle ends. During natural release, food is still warm and may continue to cook for the amount of time it takes to release steam. Some recipes may call for natural release for a specified amount of time and then quick release to allow the remaining pressure to escape the Cooker.
When the cooking cycle is complete, steam must be released before the Lid can be opened. There are two ways to release steam:
To release steam / pressure naturally (Natural Pressure Release) let the cooker sit approximately 10-30 minutes after cooking until the float valve goes down and Lid unlocks.Note: It may take longer depending on the amount of food being prepared. During natural release, food is still warm and may continue to cook for the amount of time it takes to release the steam.
To release steam / pressure faster (Quick Pressure Release )press Steam Release Button to allow steam to escape. The Steam Release Valve directs steam away from the Steam Release Button. Choose quick release when you want to stop the cooking immediately when cycle ends. Please note, this is not recommended if you’re cooking food with high starch content, which may cause spattering.
Natural pressure release allows the pressure cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 30 minutes, or even longer, depending on the amount of food in the cooker. For food with large liquid volume or starch content, use the natural release method as thick liquid may splatter out.
Quick pressure release allows the cooker to cool down quickly by letting the steam out of the pressure cooker manually until the float valve drops. (Note: Never pull out the steam release valve while it is releasing steam as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause burns.)
Under normal use we do not anticipate any defect to develop with the Cooking Pot.
NOTE: When placing the cooking pot inside the appliance, ensure that the cooking pot is in direct contact with the heating plate, rotate slighly to the left and right unit it seats properly, or it will cause damage to the heating elments and even other components.
The Gasket is made from food safe silicone. Under normal use it should last 2~3 years. If you notice tears, cracks, signs of leaking, deformation or any other damage to the Gasket, you should replace it with a Hamilton Beach Gasket.
The Gasket is dishwasher safe; however to extend its life we reccommend handwashing it.
High Pressure is from 8– 12 psi and Low Pressure is from 4 – 7 psi.
High Pressure is recommended for almost all foods(i.e meat, poultry, beans, etc). The higher the pressure, the faster food cooks.
Low Pressure is used for delicate foods(i.e rice, vegetables, etc). Lower pressure cooks food slower when compared to high pressure.
Unplug unit. Allow unit to cool and pressure to release. When all of the steam has exited the unit, the lid will automatically unlock. Rotate the lid counterclockwise to remove.
Remove Gasket from Lid by pulling out from under metal ring.
Pull up Steam Release Valve to remove from Lid. Flip Lid over and unscrew Steam Release Valve Cover from underside of Lid.
Hold Lid at an angle, and use a small, soft brush to clear the Float Valve, Steam Release Stem, and Pressure Relief Safety Valve of any debris. Rinse these
areas with warm water.
Wash Steam Release Valve, Steam Release Valve Cover, Lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Ensure that Steam Release Valve, Steam Release Valve Stem, Float Valve, and Pressure Relief Safety Valve are clean and free of debris.
Reassemble Lid Parts and reinsert Gasket.
Please refer to the Care and Cleaning Section of the Use and Care (pg. 14) for more cleaning tips.
Liquid is required to create steam and build pressure in the Pressure Cooker. Always add a minimum of 1 cup (237 ml) of water or other liquid.
Not setting the steam release valve to the CLOSE position for pressure-cooking. If it is not sealed, pressure will not build.
Gasket is not installed properly.
The cooking pot, gasket, roasting rack, rice measuring cup, rice paddle and condensation collector are dishwasher safe.
Though the gasket is dishwasher safe, to extend its life, we recommend hand washing it.
10 seconds after selecting your settings, the cooking process will start. The cooker will beep 3 times and the LED displays ON.
For all pressure-cooking programs the total amount of pre-cooked food and liquid in the Cooking Pot should not pass the 2/3 line. When preparing food that expands during cooking such as rice, beans or vegetables, the Cooking Pot should not pass the ½ line. Over filling the Cooking Pot may risk clogging the steam release and developing excess pressure. This may cause leakage, personal injuries, or damage to the cooker.
The steam release valve must be in the CLOSE position for pressure-cooking.
No. Lid should be off while using this mode.
Unlike other Pressure Cookers, the Hamilton Beach pressure cookers have True Slow™ technology with 3 heat settings Programmed to ensure a gradual rise in temperature, just like a traditional slow cooker. Food doesn't overcook and slow cooker recipes come out just the way you expect.
Slow Cook Mode can be used in LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH heat.
10 seconds after pressing the settings, the cooker will beep 3 times and will display ON to indicate that the cooker has entered the preheating cycle. Depending on the amount of food and its temperature, the preheating cycle can take a few minutes to 40 minutes or more. As the cooker heats up and pressure builds, the float valve rises. When the desired pressure is reached, the cooker enters the cooking cycle and displays the remaining cooking time. When the cooking cycle is completed, the cooker will beep and switches to WARM mode.
If your unit did not beep when the cooking mode was selected or the timer was adjusted, the unit's sound may be turned OFF. While in Standby mode, press and hold the "+" to turn the sound ON . Press and hold the "-" button to turn the sound OFF.
Start by referring to the recipe. The quick release method is used when you want to stop the cooking immediately when the cycle ends. During natural release, food is still warm and may continue to cook for the amount of time it takes to release steam. Some recipes may call for natural release for a specified amount of time and then quick release to allow the remaining pressure to escape the cooker.
Start by pressing ‘Stop/Cancel’. The LCD will display OFF. Always release steam before opening Lid. Additonally, make sure the float valve has dropped. Do not open the lid if the float valve has not dropped. Do not open the lid if it is locked and cannot be opened. Do not force the lid open at any time.
Note: When all pressure is released, Lid will automatically unlock. Rotate Lid counterclockwise to unlock. Remove Lid carefully, allowing excess moisture on Lid to drain back into Cooking Pot.
Verify that the unit is powered OFF. Move the steam release valve to the OPEN position. Once all the steam is released, push the float valve down with a pen or long stick.
The BPA free Pressure Cooker Gasket is UL and FDA tested for safety. The Gasket is an integral part of the Pressure Cooker safety features. The Gasket has been designed to withstand the high-pressure produced during electric pressure-cooking.
The Gasket is made from food safe silicone. Under normal use it should last 2~3 years. If you notice tears, cracks, signs of leaking, deformation of the Gasket, or any other signs of damage you should replace it with a Hamilton Beach Gasket.
The Gasket is dishwasher safe; however to extend its life we reccommend handwashing it.
Always replace the Gasket with Hamilton Beach branded Gasket. The use of third party Gaskets may have unexpected effects on your cooker, and will void the warranty.
Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
Yes, be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should
not be cooked in pressure cook mode. When preparing these types of food the Cooking Pot should not be more than ½ full.
Note: Make sure the Steam Release Valve, Float Valve and Steam Valve Cover are clean and free from debris.
When a recipe notes "Cook time" (i.e. 10 minutes to cook) it does not account for the the total Pressure Cooking Process. Meaning, that it does not include the time required for the Pressure Cooker to come to pressure, cook and depressurize.
*Please note, a general guideline for pressure cooking frozen meat and poultry from a frozen state is to add 50% more cooking time than recipe recommends.
Frozen meat and poultry can be cooked from frozen state while using Pressure Cooking modes to prepare foods; however, do not use frozen meat or poultry in Slow Cook Mode.
Thaw any meat out before cooking in Slow Cook Mode.
Please note, a general guideline for pressure cooking frozen meat and poultry from a frozen state is to add 50% more cooking time than recipe recommends.
Visit www.FoodSafety.gov for safe doneness temperatures.
Quick Release: Allows the cooker to cool down quickly by letting the steam out of the cooker until the float valve drops. Never pull out the steam release valve while it is releasing steam as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause burns. For food with large liquid volume or starch content, use the Natural Release as thick liquid may splatter out.
Natural Release: Allows the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 30 minutes, or even longer, depending on the amount of food in the cooker. Once the cooking process is completed, turn OFF the Keep Warm mode if it is ON.
When you initially start your Pressure Cooker it is normal to see ON in the display until the Cooker preheats to the desired temperature and pressure.
As the unit preheats you should see steam come out of the float valve. The temperature rise during preheat causes pressure to build within the Cooking Pot, which in turn causes the float valve to rise. When the float valve seals, the lid will lock.
Next, the timer countdown will start on the display. At this point there should be very little steam leakage.
Unit is malfunctioning; call Customer Service.

The heating element is a wrap around element and is located within the inner wall.
No, we manufacture 5 qt (750 watts) and 18 qt (1440 watts) sizes.
On the bottom of the unit.
Yes. Pour 1/2 inch water inside the removable pan (not under it) and place desired number of ears of corn in the water, set temperature to 500 degrees. When the oven starts steaming, cook for 10-15 minutes. Adjust time if necessary.
The metal clips serve as a lid holder, and are on each side for left- and right-handed use.
The Roaster Oven can be used as a buffet by purchasing the buffet accessory. 1-800-851-8900
This grill has a 3-year limited warranty.
Yes, your cast iron cooktop can break if dropped or not cared for like any other cookware.
10 inches x 16 inches
The large cooktop surface makes it perfect for cooking many family meals. Cook bacon, eggs, pancakes, hash browns for breakfast. Try grilled cheese, hamburgers and sandwiches for lunch, or sear steaks, chicken, kebobs or seafood for dinner.
Cast iron is slower to heat than other metals, but once heated, it maintains consistent, even heat better than aluminum.
Yes. Cast iron is a naturally hard, scratch-resistant surface.
Temperature on this grill is adjustable from warm to 450°F
This cast iron grill comes seasoned and ready to use. Rinse, dry thoroughly, and start cooking. Foods can be sticky on new cast iron, so oil the cast iron cooktop to ensure that even stubborn foods will release easily.
When foods begin to stick or the pan loses it's shiny black finish, the grill should be re-seasoned.
Do not leave in sink to soak, put in dishwasher, allow to air dry, or store in a moist area. Any of these will cause rust since preseasoned layers have been disturbed and moisture has been in contact with your cast iron.
The cooktop is a flat surface. It is designed to easily scrape fat and drippings into the drip tray when done cooking.
It is over seasoned with too much oil.
Yes. You should unplug all countertop electric appliances when finished using.
Do not reheat food on Keep Warm Setting. The Keep Warm Setting should only be used after a recipe has been throughly cooked. Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using Keep Warm Setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on Low or High; then switch to Keep Warm.
The wattage is located on the bottom of the appliance.
The crocks are microwave, oven and dishwasher safe. Do not use on stovetop.
Helpful Hint: Crocks are vulnerable to thermal shock, which is a condition caused by extreme changes in temperature. Never put a hot crock in cold water.
Are the crock and lid covered by warranty?
Use hot pads or mitts to remove the crock.
Yes, lifting the lid results in major heat loss which can cool the food load.
*Helpful hint: Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass
lid allows large amounts of steam to escape and thus the cooking time may need to
be extended. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir
occasionally.
A slow simmering boil is normal, however a rapid boil is not.
Yes, but do not expose the crock to a sudden temperature change or the crock could crack due to thermal shock.
HB currently makes 6 different size Slow Cookers: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 quart models.
Yes, the crocks are not glaze finished on the bottom surface.
Helpful Hint: The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the countertop. Use caution.
The lid is intentionally loose in order to let small amounts of steam escape.
Hamilton Beach specifications applicable to all slow cookers and their components (including the earthenware crocks) prohibits the product from containing any measurable amounts of lead. Furthermore, the factories that manufacture the earthenware crocks for Hamilton Beach are certified ceramic production facilities whose ceramic ware is deemed to satisfy FDA heavy metal requirements. Hamilton Beach takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the earthenware crocks accompanying our slow cookers provide safe and satisfactory service to our consumers.
Yes. Although plastic is an insulator, it will heat up somewhat but will not melt.
The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the heating elements are located here.
Like current Slow Cooker Industry practices, the quart size of our Slow Cooker Crocks are determined by measuring the total capacity to the overflow line.
Additional recipes are available on our website at http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/recipes.
The odor is coming from the heating element as it heats up for the first time. This is called “burn off” and is normal. It should subside within the first use.
Stainless steel, aluminum or a non-corrosive, non-toxic material. Select models have a plastic lid including model 33430.
Yes. It is normal for condensation to accumulate on both glass and plastic lids. Remember - try not to lift the lid often.
*Helpful hint: Each time the lid is lifted, it lengthens the cooking time.
Yes. The carrying case was made for safely handling a hot cooking vessel. However, do not place the cooking vessel pot in the carrying case and then re-plug.
Our slow cookers will boil on the low setting, but only near the conclusion of cooking time (last hour). When a slow process is used to cook meat, the temperature of the contents should be brought up to 125° F within 3 hours and rise quickly to 165°.
No. The slow cooker must maintain a certain temperature in order to kill bacteria.
As per USDA guidelines, meats need to be kept above 140° F to avoid dangers of food poisoning.
For best results, the slow cooker should be at least half-full and no more than 3/4 full.
This cookbook is supposed to be packed only with the 6.5 quart oval slow cookers.
The slow cooker does not work like an oven, as it slowly rises in temperature to cook over a longer period of time. The tempertaures for each setting are High: 200-225°F Low: 180-200°F Keep Warm: 165°F.
The keep warm setting can be used for up to 2 hours for some foods. Food safety is not affected, but quality of some types of food will continue to decrease the longer the food is “kept warm.” Foods like chili or spaghetti sauce will be fine.
The recipe needs to be followed exactly. The recipe requires using frozen broccoli. Using fresh or cooked broccoli will cause the soup to appear curdled.
Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the Slow Cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
Lead and cadmium are naturally occurring elements in the earth. As cooking vessels are earthenware cooking vessels, lead and cadmium may be naturally present. HBB cooking vessels are porcelain enamel coated to create a barrier between food and earthenware. The porcelain enamel coated cooking vessels are evaluated using ASTM extraction test procedures with detection limits of 0.1 ug/ml for lead and 0.01ug/ml for cadmium. In HBB cooking vessels, the amount of lead or cadmium present in the extractant is below the test's limits of detection. Additionally, the factories that manufacture HBB cooking vessels are certified ceramic production facilities whose ceramic ware is deemed to satisfy FDA heavy metal requirements in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and China. HBB takes all reasonable steps to ensure that our cook vessels provide safe and satisfactory service to our consumers.
Modern slow cookers use a higher wattage so any bacteria that is present will be killed within an appropriate amount of time.
Models 33390, 33475,33550, 33575, 33740, 33675, and 33690.
A slow cooker is a resistive heating type of appliance and therefore should not create any electromagnetic interference (like a motor driven product can do).
The lid latch is made of silicone.
There are two heaters that wrap around the sides (typically, one is used for Keep Warm, one is used for Low & both are used on High).
The gasket on the lid is made of Food Safe Silicone that is tested and approved by the FDA.
This recipe is for the double dish slow cooker, which requires water to be placed in the cooking vessel while cooking in the insert pan (like a double boiler). When making in the cooking vessel, no water is needed.
If your slow cooker is filled less than halfway, your food will cook faster. Optimal cooking capacity for a slow cooker is 1/2 to 3/4 full.
Yes. Slow cookers have changed over the years to meet food safety guidelines set by the UDSA. Slow cookers do not have thermostats, so they do not have temperature ratings for Lo and Hi settings. Lo simply uses less watts and takes longer to get to the same cooked temperature. This temperature will approach boiling.
No. There is no lead or cadmium in our porcelain enamel coated cooking vessels.
No, the brown liners are no longer available. However, you can purchase a white or black liner; they will accommodate your slow cooker.
The probe may be dirty. Remove probe from slow cooker, clean the probe with a cotton cloth and re-insert.
Yes. The heater starts at about 1.5 inches on both sides of the switch and runs towards the back. The hottest portion of the slow cooker is on the opposite side of the switch.
The Tea Candle wick on the Party Crock should be kept trimmed to about 1/4 inch to prevent any scorching.
NO. The Lid Latch™ or Wire Clips help secure Lid while moving or transporting. NEVER lock Wire Clips or use Lid Latch while cooking.
Silicone rubber.
Slow cooker cooking vessels may be heated in an oven, but the glass lids cannot because the plastic knob on the lid could melt or burn.
Model number, type number, series code, and wattage information is located on the rating label. The rating label is located on the bottom of your Slow Cooker.
Visit www.hamiltonbeach.com/parts. Replacement parts or accessories can be searched via the model number (Option One or by Category (Option Two). If you cannot find the replacement part or accessory you need call US: 1.800.851.8900, Canada: 1.800.267.2826, Mexico: 01 800 71 16 100.
Wattage information is located on the rating label. The rating label is located on the bottom of your Slow Cooker.
The amps are determined by dividing the volts into the watts. Example: volts= 120, watts=1000, therefore 1000 divided by 120 = 8.3amps.
For best results, fill Crock 3/4 of the way full but no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the rim. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam. The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
The Lid Latch™ or Wire Clips help secure Lid while moving or transporting. NEVER lock Wire Clips or use Lid Latch while cooking.
Place Lid Latch™ into groove under one Handle. Stretch to other side and secure in groove under other Handle. Once attached, Lid Latch™ can also be crossed over knob to further secure Lid.
Or, to use Wire Clips, move clips up onto Lid and push down on top of clip latch to secure Slow Cooker for transporting.
The Lid hole/vent allows excess steam to escape to avoid build up.
Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid.
The Lid and Crock may also be washed in a dishwasher. DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product.
Low, High, and Keep warm.
The Keep Warm will remain ON until the knob is returned to the OFF (O) position. Set a kitchen timer to keep track of the ON time.
No, turn control knob counterclockwise to OFF (O) when cooking is complete.
We offer a variety of Programmable Slow Cookers that range from a simple mix and match of pre-set times and temperatures to more complex customizable cooking functions that allow the selection of specific times and temperatures.
Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing Lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.
If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5 cm) space between the top of the Crock and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.
Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before. Place all ingredients in Crock or food safe container, cover with Lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place the Crock in Base and start cooking.
When choosing recipes for a Slow Cooker, look for recipes that call for cooking on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or LOW 6 to 8 hours. Recipes calling for less cooking time should be checked periodically for doneness.
Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a Slow Cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.
The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the Crock.
Please visit foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.
To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire Crock in the refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.
Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature in the Slow Cooker. Once meat is placed into the Crock, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping Slow Cooker the night before, where Crock should be placed into the refrigerator).
Yes, we have Slow Cookers that offer cooking pots that allow you to sear or brown meat on your stovetop, then finish meal in Slow Cooker. A few models to check out are 33265, 33662, and 33663.

• Crock was less than half full. Check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.
This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, they can alter the cooking times in the Slow Cooker by extending the cooking times. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.
There are various features for individual models. Some older models were not designed with a bell. Current models have a lever that pops up. The IntelliToast™ Toaster Oven/Broilers do have a "toast ready" tone.
Open the door to remove the rack, flip it over, and re-install on the correct guides. For illustrations, consult your Use & Care guide.
Hand clean using hot soapy water per your Use & Care Guide. You can place the pan and broil grid in the dishwasher, but this will discolor it.
This information is stated on the bottom of the product. It will vary by model.
Since top browning is generally a quick process, the bottom elements will not affect the results.
These are "manual models" and a characteristic of that design.
The ovens with the broil feature include a pan and grid.
There is a hidden spring that closes the door. If the tension in the spring has stretched, the door will not close flush with the unit.
