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

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.
