8.Do not use outdoors.

9.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type

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 obso- lete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety pur- pose 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 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 use the Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc., food processor attachment with this blender.

The wattage rating of the blender is based on avail- able cutting blades and jar combinations that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

If the cutting blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This will freeze and damage the cut- ting blades.
