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 using an adaptor. 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. If cut-
ting blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do
not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for informa-
tion.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriter’s Laboratory test. These tests are based on available
cutting blades and jar combinations that may not be provided
with your unit. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after
30 seconds of operation.
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.
The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
Optional Accessory
Hamilton Beach Stay or Go™ Personal Blending Jar (AC16)
may be purchased separately and used with this appliance.
