BLENDER SAFETY
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water
or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate the Blender with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical
or mechanical adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

BLENDER SAFETY
9. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk
of severe injury to persons or damage to the Blender. A spatula or scraper
other than the provided Flex Edge tamper may be used, but must be used
only when the Blender is not running.
10. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
11. The use of attachments, including canning blender jars, not recommended
by KitchenAid may cause a risk of injury to persons.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Always operate Blender with cover in place.
14. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, ingredient-measuring cap should
remain in place over the lid opening. Always start on lowest speed and
slowly ramp to desired speed when blending hot liquids or ingredients.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is designed for household use only.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Voltage: 120 V
Frequency: 60 HZ
Intensity (Amp.): 15 Amps
NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the
outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.
MOTOR HORSEPOWER
Motor horsepower for the Blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine
that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.5 peak
horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and
not the Blender’s horsepower output in the Blender pitcher. As with any blender, the
power output in the pitcher is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This
motor delivers 2.45 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power
for all your recipes.

USING THE BLENDER
BLENDER FUNCTION GUIDE
The Blender features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customize
your blending for any recipe you make.
You might find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might
blend more to your preference on a speed that is not obvious. For example, when making
a smoothie, you may prefer the finer texture that a higher speed creates. We encourage
you to experiment to find the best speed for your favorite recipes.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. When the Blender is plugged in
and the main power I/O (on/off)
toggle switch is to I (on), the Blender
will go into Standby mode (flashing
white indicator light). However, after
10 minutes of no activity the Blender
will go into Sleep mode and the
indicator light will turn off.
• To wake up the Blender simply flip
the START/STOP toggle switch up
or down. This will put the Blender
back into Standby mode.
2. If the status indicator light flashes
an orange color, the Blender is in
error mode. This can be caused by:
using a spatula in the blender jar that
locks up the blade or having an ice
cube or hard food in a location that
locks up the blade.
• Correct the problem by turning off
the Blender using the dedicated off
switch in the back, or by unplugging
the Blender. Remove the blender jar
from the base, and clear the items.
Place the blender jar back on the
base, and then turn the Blender
back on to continue regular use.
3. If the Blender stops while blending:
• After 6 minutes of run time, the
Blender will automatically shut off
and go into Sleep mode, and the
LED light will turn off. You can wake
the Blender back up using the
toggle switches (Start/Stop or Pulse
High/Pulse Low). If the Blender stops
in less than 6 minutes, it is possible
there is an internal error with the
Blender. Contact the customer
eXperience Center for assistance.
4. If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t
blending:
• There may be times when an air
pocket is created around the blade,
causing the ingredients to miss the
blending blade. Use your Flex Edge
tamper to assist during the blend by
pushing ingredients into the blade,
or stir to move ingredients around
the blender jar. If that does not work,
stop the Blender, remove the blender
jar from the base, and use a spatula
to rearrange ingredients in the
blender jar. For certain recipes,
try adding more liquid.
5. If you experience an overflow from
the blender jar:
• Unplug the Blender. Remove the
jar and jar pad. Clean the blender
housing, jar pad, and exterior
of the jar. Dry each part thoroughly,
and then re-install the jar pad.
• If the overflow is on or over the
control dial, it can be removed
by gently and firmly pulling it off.
After cleaning and drying, reinstall
the knob. To avoid damage to the
graphics, do not apply too much
force or use abrasive cleansers.
If the problem cannot be corrected:
See the “Warranty and service” section.
Do not return the Blender to the retailer;
retailers do not provide service.
