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. 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 jar retaining ring 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 threaded retaining ring.

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.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug 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 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.
