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.
• For a complete operation manual in this
language, please visit our website at
or call 910-692-2223.
• This appliance is intended for short periods
of operation, with a rated operating time of
3 minutes.

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.

Sanitizing
1. Wash container as instructed in “General Cleaning.”

“Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below)
and place on base.
3. Replace cover and filler cap and run on LOW
(except model 1G901) speed for 2 minutes. Empty
container.
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 1⁄4 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.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem . . .
Solution . . .
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electric outlet.
Blender fails to start
or stops while it is
running and cannot
be restarted
• Check to see if the fuse for the electric outlet has blown or if a
circuit breaker has tripped.
Ingredients will not mix
properly
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to the ingredients. Mixture should
be fluid and free-running at all times.
• Solid pieces are too large. Pieces should not exceed 1″ (2.5 cm) cubes.
• Container is too full. Do not fill past highest graduation marking.
• Cutter unit blades are not sharp or are damaged. Inspect container and cutter
assembly daily. Replace container and cutter assembly at least every 12 months
or sooner if cutter assembly appears worn or damaged.
• Check to see if cutter unit assembly is installed properly.
• Select speed (on some models) to create a fluid blend.
Maintenance
Inspect the blender and its various parts and replace as follows:
Daily
Unplug the blender and remove the container from the base, and then inspect the container and
cutter unit assembly for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades. Replace if necessary. If the
cutter assembly blades are loose, discontinue use immediately and replace the cutter assembly.
