recommended by Hamilton Beach may cause injuries.

• To reduce risk of personal injury, unplug cord

from outlet when not in use, and before putting on or taking off parts or doing any other servicing of the blender.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

counter or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

• Do not defeat the jar pad sensors.

• Do not use outdoors.

• This appliance is intended for short periods

of operation, with a rated operating time of 3 minutes.

• To prevent damage to blender, jar, or cutter

assembly, DO NOT move or shake blender while in operation. If blending action stops during operation, turn blender OFF, remove jar from base, remove jar cover, and use a thin rubber spatula to push mixture towards cutters.

• Do not spray the base with a high-pressure

spray gun.

• Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.

• To prevent burns from hot liquids splashing out of

the jar, always remove the filler cap of the container cover before blending hot liquids.

Professional Blending Techniques

Filling the container

When filling the container with ingredients, follow these recommendations:

• Use sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that the mixture is fluid and free-running at all times. Pour the liquid into the container FIRST.

• Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are no bigger than a 1″ (2.5 cm) cube.

• Add the ingredients to container in batches. Do not blend maximum volume all at once.

• Do NOT overfill the container with product. This may prevent the blender from processing the product properly. Process dense foods or thick mixtures in small batches, and remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

• Do not exceed one quart of content when blending hot product.

• Always place the cover and filler cap on the container when blending. For blending hot liquids, remove filler cap from container cover before blending.

Blending techniques

Icy drinks – Do not use blender to crush large ice

cubes. The blender is not designed for this. Small ice cubes or crushed ice is recommended. Pour in liquid, then add ice. Cover. Set speed at HIGH (except model 91350) and process until desired consistency is reached. Chunks of frozen fruit can be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet or slush.

Blending hot mixtures

IMPORTANT: To minimize the possibility of

scalding, the following precautions MUST be observed:

• Do not exceed 1 quart of content when blending hot product. Remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

• Always place the cover on the container and remove the filler cap from container cover when blending hot liquids to prevent the build up of pressure.

• Never stand with your face directly over the container when operating the blender where steam may be released.

• Begin on LOW speed and then select a speed that produces a column of air in the center of the container (except model 91350).

Filler Cap

Use the filler cap to add liquids to the container while the unit is running.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Always use caution when blending hot contents.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

Cleaning Instructions

General cleaning

Do not allow food residue to dry on any part of the blender. Wash and rinse container, cutter unit assembly and base after each use, or whenever it will not be used again within one hour, as follows:

1. Remove the container from the base, and then remove the cover. Add cleaning solution to the container. Use a washing solution of hot water (less than 115° F/46° C) and a non-sudsing detergent. Use the recommended amount of detergent.

2. Scrub and flush out the container interior, cover and filler cap to remove food residue. Empty container.

3. Fill container 1⁄4 full with fresh washing solution and place it on the base.

4. Replace the cover on the container and run the blender on high speed (except model 91350) for 2 minutes.

5. Repeat step 3 using clean rinse water (95° F/35° C).

6. Wipe down the container, filler cap, and cover with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with fresh washing solution.

7. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth or sponge. The base contains electrical components: do not immerse, use a high-pressure washer, or use a dishwasher to clean the base.

Sanitizing

1. Wash container as instructed in “General

Cleaning.”

2. Fill container with sanitizing solution (See “Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below) and place on base.

3. Replace cover and filler cap and run on LOW (except model 91350) speed for 2 minutes. Empty container.

4. Wipe the container exterior with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.

5. Immerse the cover and filler cap in sanitizing solution for two minutes.

6. Remove any remaining moisture from cutter assembly by replacing container on base with cover and filler cap in place. Then run blender on HiGH (except model 91350) speed for a minimum of 2 minutes.

7. To dry, place empty container on base and run on HIGH (except model 91350) speed for two seconds.

8. When ready to use, rinse with clean water.

NOTE: Do not rinse container, cover or filler cap

after sanitizing.

Recommended Sanitizing Solution:

The sanitizing solution should consist of 1 tablespoon of household bleach per 1 gallon of clean, cool water (60° F, 16° C) mixed according to the instructions on the bleach. When using a sanitizing solution other than that recommended, the sanitizing solution concentration should be tested using commercially available test strips and should indicate a concentration between 100 and 200 parts per million of bleach to water.
