Consumer Safety Information
This appliance intended for household
use only.
The Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.
Type FP04 food processor attachment is
intended for use with this blender. The
marked rating of wattage for your blender is
based upon usage with the jar provided.
The Type FP04 food processor attachment
may draw less power.
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.
If the cutting unit 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 container in the
freezer filled with food or liquid. The frozen
mixture, when placed on the blender motor
base, will damage the cutting unit,
container, and motor.
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.
Before First Use
After unpacking the blender, wash
everything except the blender base in
hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
the blender base with a damp cloth or
sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE THE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be
taken when handling the blades as
they are very sharp.
