840090400 ENv00.qxd 12/7/01 3:49 PM Page 4 How to Assemble and Use IMPORTANT: Your Hamilton Beach blender jar and cutting blades are subject to wear during normal use. Always inspect jar for nicks, chips, or cracks. Always inspect cutting blades for broken, cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cutting blades are damaged, do not use. Call our toll-free customer service number to obtain replacement parts. 1. Make sure blender is unplugged. Place blender base on clean, dry surface to keep foreign particles from being pulled up into motor during operation. 2. Place blades in safety base. Fit gasket over blades. The gasket must lie flat. Set jar on top of gasket and screw on safety base. 3. Make sure the safety base is firmly screwed onto the jar. If not, it may loosen later when motor is turned on. 4. Set jar into place on blender base, making sure it is securely seated. (For some models, turn to LOCK as indicated.) If not, gently rock the jar until seated. 5. Plug cord into outlet. 6. Put ingredients in jar; place lid on jar. Place hand on lid when blending thin liquids. 7. Process food or beverages. See the "Blending Techniques" section for speeds and processing tips. 8. ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have stopped rotating before removing jar. 9. To remove jar after blending is complete, lift the jar straight up. (For some models, turn to UNLOCK as indicated.) If it is not easily removed, rock gently and lift. Do not twist. 10. NEVER replace jar onto unit while motor is running. 6- and 10-Speed Control Panels First select and push a LO or HI power button. Then push the desired speed button. When using the PULSE or Ice Breaker™ buttons the blender will operate only as long as the button is pushed. The remaining speed buttons will run the blender until OFF is pushed. 12-Speed Control Panel First select and push a LO or HI power button. Then push the desired speed button. The blender will run until you push the OFF button. The OFF button is also the Ice Breaker™/Pulse button. The blender runs only as long as the button is pushed. On LO power the blender pulses and on HI the pulsing action is powerful enough for crushing ice. See "Crushing Ice." 4
