IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 contacting 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 the appliance manufacturer 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
injury to persons or damage to the
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 assembly 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. 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 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 onto 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.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has
a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces
the risk of electric 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 by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the
outlet.
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.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled
with food or liquid. The contents may freeze
and may 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
on page 4.
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.
Optional Accessory
Hamilton Beach Stay or Go™ Personal
Blending Jar (AC16) may be purchased
separately and used with this appliance.
