IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Blender Safety

When using electric appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including

the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in

water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near children.

4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in

use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped or

damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free

customer service number for information

on examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of attachments, including

canning jars, not recommended or sold

by Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.

may cause a risk of injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table

or counter, or touch hot surfaces,

including the stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of

container while blending to reduce the

risk of severe personal injury and/or

damage to blender. A rubber spatula

may be used but must be used only

when blender is not running.

11. Blades are sharp, handle carefully.

12. Do not use a broken, chipped or

cracked blender jar.

13. Do not use broken, cracked or loose

cutting blades.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place

cutting unit blades on base without jar

properly attached.

15. Always operate blender with cover

in place.

16. When blending hot liquids, remove

center piece of two-piece cover. Do

not fill blender container beyond the

3 cup level. Always begin processing

at the lowest speed setting. Keep

hands and other exposed skin away

from the cover opening to prevent

possible burns.

17. Screw on jar retaining ring firmly. Injury

can result if moving blades accidentally

become exposed.

18. If the jar should turn when the motor is

switched ON, switch OFF immediately

and tighten jar in threaded retaining ring.

19. Do not leave blender unattended while

it is operating.

20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to

OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

21. Do not use appliance for other than

intended purpose.

Consumer Safety Information

Before First Use

After unpacking the blender, wash

everything except the blender base in

hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe

the blender base with a damp cloth or

sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE THE

BASE IN WATER. Care should be

taken when handling the blades as

they are very sharp.

This appliance intended for household

use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized

plug. This type of plug has one blade wider

than the other. The plug will fit into an

electrical outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature intended to help reduce the

risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to

insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing

the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,

contact a qualified electrician to replace the

obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat

the safety purpose of the polarized plug by

modifying the plug in any way.

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 blender. 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.

The Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.

Type FP04 food processor attachment is

intended for use with this blender. The

marked rating of wattage for your blender is

based upon usage with the jar provided.

The Type FP04 food processor attachment

may draw less power.

If the cutting unit blades lock and do not

move, it will damage the motor. Do not use.

Call the toll free customer service number

for information.

Do not place blender container in the

freezer filled with food or liquid. The frozen

mixture, when placed on the blender motor

base, will damage the cutting unit,

container, and motor.

container cover and add ingredients

through the opening.
