How It Works

Blender

The kitchen has a Hamilton Beach blender with a 48 oz (1.25 L) jar and simple push-button speeds.

How to use

Place the base on a clean, dry surface and set the jar on it, making sure it is securely seated.
Add liquid ingredients first (at least 8 oz / 238 ml, up to the MIN line), then the rest. Do not fill above the 48 oz (1250 ml) fill line.
Put the lid on securely, then plug the blender into the outlet.
Press the speed button you need (press DICE or GRIND for those functions).
Always keep one hand on the lid while the blender is running.
Always turn the blender OFF and wait until the blades have stopped before removing the jar — never place the jar on the base while the motor is running.

Do not run the blender continuously for more than 3 minutes. If you smell a burning odor, stop immediately.
Recipes need at least one cup (8 oz) of liquid to blend properly — add more liquid if the ingredients stop moving.
To add ingredients while blending, remove the filler cap in the lid and drop them through the opening.
For hot liquids, remove the filler cap, do not fill beyond the 3-cup (710 ml) level and start on the lowest speed — hot liquids can push the lid off.
This blender is not made for mashing potatoes, mixing stiff dough, whipping egg whites, grinding raw meat, extracting juice or blending dry ingredients like grains or coffee beans.
Do not store food or liquids in the jar.

Unplug first. Wipe the base and buttons with a damp cloth — never put the cord, plug, base or motor in water.
Wash the jar, lid and other parts in hot, soapy water (or in the dishwasher, but never on the SANITIZE cycle). The blades are very sharp — handle with care.
Rinse and dry thoroughly; do not soak the parts. Store the blender with the lid ajar to prevent odors.
