Blender Safety  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING – When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including  
the following:  
To prevent damage to blender, jar, or cutter  
assembly, DO NOT move or shake blender  
while in operation. If blending action stops during  
operation, turn blender OFF, remove jar from  
base, remove jar cover, and use a thin rubber  
spatula to push mixture towards cutters.  
Do not spray the base with a high-pressure  
spray gun.  
Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing.  
To prevent burns from hot liquids splashing out  
of the jar, always remove the filler cap of the  
container cover before blending hot liquids.  
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged  
cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions,  
or is dropped or damaged in any manner.  
Return appliance to the nearest service facility  
for examination, repair, or electrical or  
mechanical adjustment.  
If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged,  
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its ser-  
vice agent or a similar qualified person. If fitted  
with a non-rewirable U.K. plug, the 13 amp fuse  
approved by ASTA to be B.S. 1362 must be used.  
If you need a replacement fuse carrier, it must be  
replaced by the same colour coded carrier with  
the same markings. Fuse covers and carriers  
can be obtained from approved service agents.  
IMPORTANT: If the molded plug is cut off,  
dispose of it immediately. The plug is not rewirable  
and would cause a shock hazard if inserted into  
a socket.  
Read all instructions.  
Plug into a grounded outlet.  
Do not touch surfaces that may be hot.  
Use handles or knobs provided.  
Extreme caution must be used when moving an  
appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.  
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.  
To protect against electrical shock, do not  
immerse cord, plug, or blender base in water  
or any other liquid.  
Close supervision is necessary when any  
appliance is used by or near children.  
The use of accessory attachments not recom-  
mended by Hamilton Beach may cause injuries.  
To reduce risk of personal injury, unplug cord  
from outlet when not in use, and before putting on  
or taking off parts or doing any other servicing of  
the blender.  
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or  
counter or touch hot surfaces.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric  
burner or in a heated oven.  
To reduce risk of personal injury and to prevent  
damage to blender or jar and cutter assembly,  
DO NOT insert utensils into blender jar while  
operating blender, or store utensils in the blender  
jar when it is not in use.  
Avoid contacting moving parts.  
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.  
Inspect jar and cutter assembly daily. Check  
cutter for wear, nicks, or broken blades. Replace  
jar and cutter assembly at least every 12 months.  
Do not defeat the jar pad sensors.  
Do not use outdoors.

Operating the Blender  
Professional Blending Techniques  
Filling the container  
When filling the container with ingredients, follow  
these recommendations:  
• Use sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that the  
mixture is fluid and free-running at all times. Pour  
the liquid into the container FIRST.  
wWARNING  
• Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are no  
bigger than a 1(2.5cm)cube.  
• Add the ingredients to container in batches. Do not  
blend maximum volume all at once.  
Burn Hazard  
• Do NOT overfill the container with product. This  
may prevent the blender from processing the  
product properly. Process dense foods or thick  
mixtures in small batches, and remember that the  
volume of the product normally increases during  
processing.  
• Do not exceed one quart of content when  
blending hot product.  
• Always place the cover and filler cap on the  
container when blending. For blending hot  
liquids, remove filler cap from container cover  
before blending.  
Always use caution when blending  
hot contents.  
Failure to follow these instructions  
can result in burns.  
Blending hot mixtures  
IMPORTANT: To minimize the possibility of  
scalding, the following precautions MUST be  
observed:  
• Do not exceed 1 quart of content when blending  
hot product. Remember that the volume of the  
product normally increases during processing.  
• Always place the cover on the container and  
remove the filler cap from container cover when  
blending hot liquids to prevent the build up of  
pressure.  
• Never stand with your face directly over the  
container when operating the blender where  
steam may be released.  
• Begin on LOW speed and then select a speed  
that produces a column of air in the center of  
the container.  
Blending techniques  
Icy drinks – Do not use blender to crush large ice  
cubes. The blender is not designed for this. Small  
ice cubes or crushed ice is recommended. Pour in  
liquid, then add ice. Cover. Set speed at HIGH  
(except model 1G901) and process until desired  
consistency is reached. Chunks of frozen fruit can  
be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet  
or slush.  
Filler Cap  
Use the filler cap to add liquids to the container  
while the unit is running.

General cleaning  
Do not allow food residue to dry on any part of the  
blender. Wash and rinse container, cutter unit  
assembly and base after each use, or whenever it  
will not be used again within one hour, as follows:  
1. Remove the container from the base, and then  
remove the cover. Add cleaning solution to the  
container. Use a washing solution of hot water  
(less than 115° F/46° C) and a non-sudsing  
detergent. Use the recommended amount of  
detergent.  
2. Scrub and flush out the container interior,  
cover and filler cap to remove food residue.  
Empty container.  
3. Fill container 14 full with fresh washing solution  
and place it on the base.  
4. Replace the cover on the container and run the  
blender on high speed (except model 1G901) for  
2 minutes.  
4. Wipe the container exterior with a soft cloth or  
sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.  
5. Immerse the cover and filler cap in sanitizing  
solution for two minutes.  
6. Remove any remaining moisture from cutter  
assembly by replacing container on base with  
cover and filler cap in place. Then run blender  
on HiGH (except model 1G901) speed for a  
minimum of 2 minutes.  
7. To dry, place empty container on base and run  
on HIGH (except model 1G901) speed for two sec-  
onds.  
8. When ready to use, rinse with clean water.  
NOTE: Do not rinse container, cover or filler cap after  
sanitizing.  
5. Repeat step 3 using clean rinse water  
(95° F/35° C).  
Recommended Sanitizing Solution:  
6. Wipe down the container, filler cap, and cover  
with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with fresh  
washing solution.  
7. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth  
or sponge. The base contains electrical  
components: do not immerse, use a  
high-pressure washer, or use a dishwasher  
to clean the base.  
The sanitizing solution should consist of 1  
tablespoon of household bleach per 1 gallon of clean,  
cool water (60° F, 16° C) mixed according  
to the instructions on the bleach. When using a  
sanitizing solution other than that recommended,  
the sanitizing solution concentration should be  
tested using commercially available test strips  
and should indicate a concentration between  
100 and 200 parts per million of bleach to water.
