IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
When using electric appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against 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
electrical or mechanical 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 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.
Other Consumer Safety Information
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully–
especially when assembling, disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar.
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 lid in
place.
16. When blending hot liquids, remove
center piece of two-piece lid. Do not fill
blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750 ml)
level. Always begin processing at the
lowest speed setting. Keep hands and
other exposed skin away from the
cover opening to reduce the risk of
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.
This appliance is 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 models without a
locking base. The Type FP04 food processor attachment may draw less power than
the marked rating.
The wattage rating of the blender is
based on available cutting blades and jar
combinations that may not be provided
with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. The blender as provided may
draw significantly less power.
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.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer
filled with food or liquid. This will freeze
and damage the cutting blades.
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 cutting blades as they are
very sharp.
*Some blender lids come with
a lid and lid
seal.

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and
cutting blades are subject 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.
1. Make sure blender is unplugged.
Place blender base on clean, dry
surface to keep foreign particles
from being pulled up into motor
during operation.
2. Place blades in safety base. Fit
gasket over blades. The gasket must
lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket and
screw on safety base.

Hints for Best Use
• Processing hot foods or liquids in the
blender may cause hot liquid to spurt
out when the cover is removed.
Always remove the filler cap of the
cover before blending hot foods or
liquids.
• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from container cover and add ingredients
through the opening.
• If blending action stops during
blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, turn blender OFF. Remove
cover and use a rubber spatula to
push mixture toward blades.
• 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.
* NOTE: On some models, the highest speed may be referred to as SMOOTHIE or
LIQUEFY.
