IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions. Keep these instructions for future reference.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug,

base, or motor in or near water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.

4. Blades are sharp, handle carefully, especially when assembling,
disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

5. Closely supervise children drinking from blender jar, to ensure
they keep hands out of jar.

6. 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.

7. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.

8. Avoid contact with moving parts.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Do not use outdoors.

12. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

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

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

15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting unit blades on

base without jar properly attached.

16. Always operate blender with cover in place.

17. Do not blend hot liquids.

18. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

19. To disconnect cord, release switch, then remove plug from wall

outlet.

20. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

This appliance intended for household use only. Use for food or
liquids 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 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 jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This
will freeze and damage the cutting unit, jar, and motor.
