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, disassem-
bling 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. With the
protection of an oven mitt or thick
towel, place hand on top of the blender
jar lid while blending hot liquids. 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 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.

WARNING
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.
