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.
