This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
Turn the appliance OFF ( ), then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades
or moveable parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as set forth in the Limited Warranty.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender (attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.
Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling, emptying or cleaning blender jar.
Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
Always operate blender with lid in place.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on base without jar properly attached.
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender container as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.
When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid or open vent opening of lid with mess-free spout, and close any lid openings along the edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-mL) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do no defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, 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 appliance. 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.
If the blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Contact Hamilton Beach Customer Service.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
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.
