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 cutting assembly 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 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.

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.

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.

How to Assemble and Use

IMPORTANT: Your blender jar and
cutting assembly are subject to wear
during normal use. Always inspect jar
for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always
inspect cutting assembly for broken,
cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cut­ting assembly is 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. Align dispenser lever with spring

facing base.
Insert one side
of dispenser
lever tabs into
notches on
front of the
base. Press
dispenser
lever to the
side to allow
the second

tab to slide into a notch on base.

3. For dispenser assembly and cutting
assembly instructions, see the
“Cleaning” section.

4. For thermal jar models, insert blend-

ing jar into
thermal jar.

5. Fit gasket over blades. The gasket
must lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket
and screw on cutting assembly.

6. Make sure the cutting assembly is
firmly screwed onto the jar.

7. OPTION: When dispenser is not
needed replace the dispenser with
the spout cap.

Remove dispenser assembly (see

“Cleaning”
section).
Insert spout
cap on
cutting
assembly.
Turn spout
cap clock­wise to lock.

8. Set jar into place on blender base,
making sure it is securely seated.
If not, gently rock the jar until seated.

NOTE: The cutting assembly must

slide between
the base and
dispensing
lever.

9. Plug cord into outlet.

10. Put ingredients in jar; lock filler cap

and lock lid on jar. Always hold
handle when blending.

11. Process food or beverages. See
the “Blending Techniques” section
for speeds and processing tips.
NOTE: When blending thin liquids,
do not fill above the 40-ounce/
5 cup/1200 ml mark on blender jar.

12. The dispensing blender will dis­pense beverages. To dispense,
press drink cup against dispenser
lever. Dispensing will automatically
stop when the cup is removed. To
dispense thick liquids (such as milk­shakes, smoothies, frozen drinks,
etc.), turn blender ON and then dis­pense. Turn OFF after dispensing.

13. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait
until blades have stopped rotating
before removing jar.

14. 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.

rinse the blender between batches of
processing the same food. When the
processing of a single type of food is
finished, the blender should be disas­sembled and thoroughly cleaned as

To quick clean, pour 2 cups (500 ml)
warm water in jar and add 1 drop liquid
dishwashing detergent. Run the blender
on ICY DRINK for 10 seconds. Flush soapy
water through dispenser until cleaned.

Discard soapy water. Rinse blender jar

Hints for Best Use

NOTE: After extended blending, espe-

cially dry food, you may notice a black
film inside the top of the blender base.
This is a normal, FDA-approved, food­grade lubricant used to ensure the
long-life of your cutting assembly.

• 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 lid
before blending hot foods or liquids.
Keep hands and other exposed skin
away from the cover opening to
reduce risk of possible burns.

• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from
container lid and add ingredients
through the opening.

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

• 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.

• If food being processed (solid food or
ultra-thick beverages) will not dis­pense always pour from jar.

Crushing Ice

Fill blender jar half-full with cold water.
Add about 2 cups (500 ml) of ice
cubes. Lock filler cap into lid and lock
lid on blender jar. Press the ICY

DRINK

button. Continue until ice is crushed to
desired consistency. Pour contents into
colander or sieve to drain off water.

DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT
LIQUID. Failure to follow these
directions can result in damage to the
blades, jar, blender, and possibly result
in personal injury.

produces a spoonable topping. Pour
1 cup (250 ml) heavy or whipping
cream in blender jar. Process on ICY
DRINK for 20 seconds or until thickened.

Blending Techniques
