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.
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.
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.

Other Consumer Safety Information
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 the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
The wattage 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 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 deliver
when power is needed most.
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.
NOTICE: To prevent leakage of liquids from
your blender jar, the round rubber gasket
must be properly placed between jar and
cutting assembly as shown in the diagram
below.

How to Assemble
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. Fit gasket over blades as shown in
illustration on page 4. The gasket
must lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket
and screw on cutting assembly.
Make sure the cutting assembly is
firmly screwed onto the jar.
3. 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
to allow the
lever to operate
the dispenser.
OPTIONAL: When dispenser is not
needed replace
dispenser with
spout cap.
Remove
dispenser
assembly (see
“How to Clean”
section). Insert
spout cap on
cutting assembly. Turn spout cap
clockwise to lock.
How to Operate
1. Plug cord into outlet.
2. Put ingredients in jar.
3. Process food or beverages. See the
“Blending Specific Foods” 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.
4. To dispense thick liquids (such as
milk- shakes, smoothies, frozen
drinks, etc.), press dispense button
to turn blender ON and press cup
against dispenser lever. Turn OFF
after dispensing.
NOTE: Blender MUST be ON to
dispense thick liquids.
When dispensing thin liquids, it may
not be necessary to turn the blender
ON to dispense the liquid.
5. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait
until blades have stopped rotating
before removing jar.
6. To remove jar after blending is com-
plete, lift the jar straight up. If it is not
easily removed, rock gently and lift.
Do not twist.
NOTE: NEVER replace jar onto unit
while motor is running.

Hints for General 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.
• 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.
• If food being processed (solid food or
ultra-thick beverages) will not dispense always pour from jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the
blender.
Control Panels
Your blender may have 8 to 12 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 or IceBreaker the blender will
operate only as long as button is
pushed. The remaining speed buttons
will run the blender until OFF is pushed.
NOTES:
• Speed increases as the buttons are
pushed top to bottom.
• The dispenser button also serves as
the highest speed at which the blender
will operate. It is important to turn the
blender on by pressing the dispense
button when dispensing the contents
of the jar.
