Please read all instructions carefully before operating the appliance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the appliance.

• Always ensure the mixer is unplugged before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
• Do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the mixing cup during operation to prevent injury.
• Use only the provided stainless steel mixing cup or other approved Hamilton Beach Commercial accessories.

Product Features

• 3-Speed Precision Motor: The motor is built to last with sealed, permanently lubricated ball bearings and is individually balanced to minimize vibration.
• 2-Way Motor Activation: For hands-free mixing, insert the cup into the cup guide or use the pulse switch for more control.
• Hands-Free Operation: The 2-level cup rest provides two advantages. Placing the cup in the upper position activates the motor, allowing operators to mix hands-free. Resting the cup in the lower position will not start the motor, doubling as cup storage.
• Heavy-Duty Construction with Sealed Rear Housing: This milk shake mixer is durably built from heavy-duty, die-cast metal, and its airflow design within the mixer does not require venting, which eliminates risk of water ingress and motor failure.
• Easy to Clean: Smooth housing made of heavy-duty die-cast aluminum wipes clean easily. The cup guide removes for dishwasher safe cleaning.
• Increased Cup Clearance: Taller design for easier mixing, reducing spills and waste.

Operation

1. Prepare Ingredients: Add desired ingredients to the stainless steel mixing cup. The mixer is designed to handle various consistencies, from liquids to hard-serve ice cream.
2. Position Cup: Place the mixing cup onto the cup rest. For hands-free operation, push the cup into the upper position of the cup guide until the motor activates. For manual control, use the lower position.
3. Select Speed: Use the 3-speed rocker switch located on top of the unit to select your desired mixing speed (Low, Medium, High).

5. Monitor Mixing: Observe the consistency of your mixture. Adjust speed or use the pulse function as needed.
6. Finish Mixing: Once desired consistency is achieved, remove the cup from the cup guide. The motor will automatically stop when the cup is removed from the upper position.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your mixer.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the mixer. Wipe down the exterior housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Cup and Cup Guide: The stainless steel mixing cup and the removable cup guide are dishwasher safe for thorough cleaning. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching or storing.
• Spindle: Wipe the mixing spindle clean with a damp cloth. Do not attempt to remove the spindle unless for authorized service.
