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.

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.

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.
