A "smoking motor" is usually caused from binding between the cutting unit clutch and the cutting assembly which connects to the motor. Unplug the blender and allow to cool. Once the blender is cool, check the cutting assembly (see the Use and Care instructions for your model for a parts diagram) to see if the blades "spin freely." Be careful, the blades are sharp. If the blades do not spin freely, the cutting unit needs to be replaced. Once the blender base (without container) is cool, plug it in and turn it on to see if it works properly. (If the unit was not turned off when the cutting unit locked, the motor could be damaged.)
New units sometimes burn off excess varnish/oils from the manufacturing process. This is normal and the smell should go away. If the smell does not go away after the first couple of uses, discontinue using the blender.
Depending on the type of ingredient, an odor may linger within the container; simply store the container without the lid.
Helpful Hint: Rinse the container with a little diluted bleach and water solution.
The speeds give flexibility in the amount of power allowed from the motor to satisfy a variety of blending applications.
Helpful Hints:
On 350W – 6, 7, 8 and 10 speed blenders there is about 500 rpm difference between each consecutive button, and about 2500 rpm difference from LO to HI. On 450W – 10, 12, 14 and 16 speed blenders there is about 300 rpm between each consecutive button, and about 2500 rpm difference from LO to HI.
The blender pulls a higher wattage the first few seconds that it is turned on. This is Peak Power and is important because the first few seconds are the most strenuous on the motor.
Place the blender jar on the base and turn the handle counter clockwise to loosen.
It differs among models and types of material used for your specific blenders. It is best to check Use and Care manual, available on line at www.hamiltonbeach.com. Never use your dishwasher’s Sani Cycle, it heats to extremely high temperatures and may damage even dishwasher safe parts.
The glass jar is top rack dishwasher safe. Dishwasher use may, however, cause the plastic container to "cloud." This is normal.
The cutting unit is not dishwasher safe and should be washed with hot soapy water.
Helpful Hint: While the container is dishwasher safe, for best long-term use and care you should hand wash and dry it.
Model number, type number, series code and wattage information is located on the rating label. The rating label is located on the bottom or rear of your blender motor housing. It may be found on a sticker or engraved into the plastic.
