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 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/assembly.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting
blades/assembly 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. Hot liquids may push lid off jar
during blending. 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.
17. Screw on jar nut 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 jar nut, Sure Rest™ base, or
cutting assembly.
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.
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 countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
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 can result in damage to
the cutting blades, jar, blender and possibly result in
personal injury.
wWARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical 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.

10. Gasket
Before First Use: After unpacking blender, wash everything except blender base in
hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or sponge.
DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting
blades as they are very sharp.
Depending on which blender model you have purchased, your blender will
come with one of the following part combinations:
• Cutting Blade (#4) with Jar Nut (#5)
• Cutting Blade (#4) with SureRest™Base (#6)
• Cutting Assembly (#9) with Gasket (#10)
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the
blender is determined by an
Underwriter’s Laboratory test and is
based on available cutting 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/amperes 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 consume when
power is needed most.

How to Assemble and Use
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. For Models with Sure Rest™Base
or Jar Nut:
Place cutting blades in Sure Rest
™
base or jar nut. Set jar on top of cutting blades and screw Sure Rest
™
base or jar nut onto jar.
For Models with Cutting Assembly:
Fit gasket over cutting blades. The
gasket must lie flat. Set jar on top
of gasket and screw on cutting
assembly.
3. Make sure the jar nut, Sure Rest™
base, or cutting assembly is firmly
screwed onto the jar. If not, it may
loosen later when motor is turned on.
Your blender may have 6 to 16 speeds.
They all operate similarly. For blenders
with 10 or more speeds, first select and
push a LO or HI power button then push
desired speed button. When using
PULSE the blender will operate only as
long as button is pushed. The remaining
speed buttons will run the blender until
OFF is pushed.
NOTE: Speed increases as the buttons
are pushed left to right.
Control Panels
4. Set assembled jar into place on
blender base, making sure it is
securely seated. (For some models,
turn to LOCK as indicated.) If not,
gently rock the jar until seated.
5. Plug cord into outlet.
6. Put ingredients in jar; place lid with
filler cap on jar. Place hand on lid
when blending thin liquids.
7. Process food or beverages. See
the “Blending Specific Foods” for
speeds and processing tips.
8. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait
until blades have stopped rotating
before removing jar.
9. To remove jar after blending is
complete, lift the jar straight up.
(For some models, turn to
UNLOCK as indicated.) If it is not
easily removed, rock gently and lift.
Do not twist.
10. NEVER replace jar onto unit while
motor is running.

General Tips
• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from container lid 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 ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, there may not be enough
liquid in the jar to blend effectively.
• 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.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Do not immerse cord, plug or base
in any liquid.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or electrical shock.
