When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions

should always be followed, including the following:

■Read all instructions.

■To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put

cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

■Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is

used by or near children.

■Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting

on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

■Avoid contact with moving parts.

■Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped

or damaged in manner. Call our toll-free customer service

number for information on examination, repair or

electrical or mechanical adjustment.

■The use of attachments, including canning jars, not

recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer

may cause a risk of injury to persons.

■Do not use outdoors.

■Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or

touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

■Keep hands and utensils out of jar 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.

■Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when

assembling, disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar.

■Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

■Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.

■To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades on

base without jar properly attached.

■Always operate blender with lid in place.

■To prevent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond the

3-cup (750 ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or

thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed

skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

840141302 v03.qxd:840141301 Blender 10/8/08 11:29 AM Page 2

■Screw on jar nut firmly. Injury can result if moving blades

■If the jar should turn when the motor is switched ON, switch

OFF immediately and tighten jar in jar nut, Sure Rest™ base,

or cutting assembly.

■Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

■To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then remove

plug from wall outlet.

■Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food

or liquids only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The

plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat

the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any

way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the

outlet.

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.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.

The contents may freeze and may result in damage to the

cutting blades, jar, blender and possibly result in personal injury.

If the cutting blades lock and do not move, it will damage

the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service

number for information.

WATTAGE/PEAK POWER INFORMATION

The wattage rating of the blender is determined by an

Underwriter’s Laboratory test and is based on available cut-

ting blades and jar combinations that may not be provided

with your unit but are available as replacement parts. This is a

measure of input wattage after 30 seconds of operation. The

blender as provided may draw significantly less power. Peak

power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first

seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most

power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of

what a blender motor can deliver when power is needed

most.

Thank you for purchasing our product!

Your blender is designed with Wave~Action™blending

technology. This revolutionary system does not require the

use of a stir stick or wooden spoon.

We know you will enjoy many years of superior blending

performance.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORY

Hamilton Beach Brands Stay or Go™ Personal Blending Jar

(AC16) may be purchased separately and used with this

appliance.

The blender will run until

you push the OFF button. The OFF button is also the

Ice Breaker™/Pulse Button. When using Pulse or

button is pushed. As buttons are pushed left to right,

the speed at which the blades spin will increase.

BEFORE FIRST USE

After unpacking the blender, follow instructions in “How

to Clean.”

HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and cutting blades are sub-

ject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for

nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blades for

broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blades

are damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer

service number to obtain replacement parts.

■Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base

on clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from

being pulled up into motor during operation.

■Place cutting blades in Sure Rest™jar base. Set jar on

top of cutting blades and tighten on jar base.

■Make sure the Sure Rest™jar base is firmly screwed

onto the jar. If not, it may loosen later when motor is

turned on.

■Set assembled jar into place on blender base, making

sure it is securely seated. If not, gently rock the jar until

seated.

■Plug cord into outlet.

840141302 v03.qxd:840141301 Blender 10/8/08 11:29 AM Page 6

■Put ingredients in jar; place lid on jar. Place hand on

lid when blending.

■CAUTION: To avoid potential burns, do not place hand

on blender lid when processing hot liquids. With the

protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one

hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid.

Start bending at lowest speed.

■Process food or beverages. See the “Blending Specific

Foods” section for speeds and processing tips.

■ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have

stopped rotating before removing jar.

■To remove jar after blending is complete, lift the jar

straight up. If it is not easily removed, rock gently and

lift. Do not twist.

■NEVER replace jar onto unit while motor is running.

GENERAL TIPS

■To prevent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond

the 3-cup (750 ml) level. With the protection of an

oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid.

Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at

lowest speed.

■To add foods when blender is operating, remove

filler cap from container cover and add ingredients

through the opening.

■For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid

needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add

more liquid if food is not blending properly.

■If blending action stops during blending or ingredi-

ents stick to sides of the jar, there may not be

enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.

■Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip

egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from

fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to

perform these tasks.

■Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

■Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in

operation or at any time.
