Consumer Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical

shock, do not put base, motor, cord,
or plug 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. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as

spatulas and other utensils out of con­tainer to prevent personal injury or
damage to the mixer.

7. 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 toll­free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.

8. The use of attachments not recom­mended or sold by Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc., may cause
fire, electrical shock, or injury.

9. Do not use outdoors.

10. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

11. Never add ingredients to container
while appliance is operating.

12. Container must be properly in place
before operating appliance.

13. To wash mixing shaft, unplug mixer
and follow the cleaning instructions
provided on page 7.

14. Do not use this appliance for other
than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for house­hold use only.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded­type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This type
of plug will only fit into an electrical outlet
made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If the plug should fail to fit
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding pin 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 drink mixer. Care must be taken to
arrange extension cord so that it will not
drape over countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or accidental­ly tripped over.

Customer Service Information

Before Calling for Assistance

Please read before calling:

• The drink mixer may warm up dur­ing use. Under heavy loads with
extended mixing time periods, the
top of the unit may feel warm to
the touch. This is normal.

• The drink mixer may emit an odor,
especially when new. This is com­mon with electric motors.

If your drink mixer should mal­function or fail to operate,
please check the following:

• Is the drink mixer plugged in?

• Is the fuse in the circuit to the
drink mixer in working order? If
you have a circuit breaker box, be
sure the circuit is closed.

• If the problem is not due to one of
the items mentioned above, see
Customer Service Information.

• DO NOT return the drink mixer to
the retailer as they do not provide
service.

If you have a question about your drink mixer, call our toll-free customer service
number. Before calling, please note the model, type, and series numbers and fill in
that information below. These numbers can be found on the bottom of your drink

1. To clean the mixing shaft, place 8

ounces (237 ml) warm, soapy water
in stainless steel container. Place
container onto Drink Mixer. Set
Control Switch to Low for 30 sec­onds. When finished, turn unit to O
(OFF).

2. Repeat Step 1 with warm water
only to rinse mixer shaft.

3. With unit turned to O (OFF), unplug
unit and wipe residual soap and
water from the mixing shaft with a
damp cloth or sponge.

4. The metal mixing container should
be washed in warm, soapy water or
in a dishwasher.

5. To clean drink mixer, wipe with
damp cloth or sponge. Do not use
abrasive cleansers of any type.

DO NOT IMMERSE APPLIANCE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

Cleaning your Drink Mixer

• Most drinks can be mixed in less
than two minutes.

• Whole fruit should not be used when
making fruit drinks. Mash or puree
fruit; add to drink, and mix. Fruit
may be sliced if chunks are desired.

• The container must always be filled
to at least the minimum level mark
or the liquid will not reach mixing
shaft. Do not fill above maximum
level mark (12 ounces/355 ml) or
liquid may overflow while mixing.

• For best results, all liquid ingredients
should be as cold as possible. Milk
drinks will taste best if milk is ice
cold. The colder the milk, the thicker
and more frothy the drink.

• All syrups and powdered mixes
should be added just before mixing
to prevent them from sinking to the
bottom of the container.

• The drink mixer does not crush ice.
For best results, use crushed ice if
the recipe calls for ice.
