death or electrical shock.

5

Electrical Requirements

Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60 Grounding, 3-prong system. 15-amp branch circuit.

NOTE: Your blender has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If your blender should malfunction or fail to operate, please check the following:

1. Is the blender plugged in?

2. Is the fuse in the circuit to the blender in working order? If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is closed.

3. Try unplugging and waiting 15-20 minutes before re-plugging the blender.

If the problem cannot be corrected with the above steps, see the KitchenAid Warranty on page 3. Do not return the mixer to the retailer – they do not provide service.

Assembling Your Blender

1. Before assembling your blender wipe blender base with a warm sudsy cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash blender jar, lid, collar and blades in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and wipe parts dry.

2. Turn blender jar upside down. Place the small sealing ring on the blade assembly.

3. Place the blade assembly with the sealing ring in the bottom opening of the jar.

4. Twist collar onto jar. Be sure to engage threads properly and securely. Turn assembled jar right side up.

5. Place lid onto blender jar.

8

6. Coil the power cord into the storage area on the bottom of the power base to shorten.

7. Place jar on power base.

8. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Blender is now ready to use.

9. Before removing the jar from the base after use, always push the OFF pad and make sure the blinking red light is off, then unplug. Lift the jar straight up, with the collar attached, do not twist. Do not unscrew the glass jar from the collar until you are ready to remove the blade assembly. Loosening the collar with liquids inside the jar will cause them to leak out.

To Operate Your Blender

NOTE: While red indicator light is

blinking or blender is on:

- Do not touch blades.

- Do not interfere with blade movement.

- Do not remove blender jar lid.

•With red light flashing, an accidental touching of a speed pad, or other circumstances may result in turning on the blender.

•If blender runs when ON light is flashing, do not use. Take unit to an Authorized Service Center. (However a slight flicker is normal.)

•This unit should operate only when a speed pad is pressed. Immediately press the OFF pad if the unit runs at any other time. If this occurs, do not use; take the unit to an Authorized Service Center.

The KitchenAid®Ultra Power®blender has five speeds: Stir, Chop, Mix, Puree and Liquefy.

•Before operating the blender, make sure the blender jar is properly assembled (see page 7) and in place on the blender base. Put ingredients in jar and firmly attach lid.

•Press the ON pad. The red indicator light should blink on and off indicating the speed pads are activated.

NOTE: If the red indicator light is not blinking at this time, unplug blender and take unit to an Authorized Service Center.

•Press the desired speed pad for continuous operation at that speed. The indicator light will glow and the red light will stay on. You may change speeds without stopping the unit by pushing the new speed pad.

•If blending warm or hot foods or liquids, remove the center ingredient cap. Operate only on STIR speed.

•To turn the blender off, press the OFF pad. The OFF pad will stop any speed and deactivate the blender at the same time. Before removing the blender jar, deactivate the blender by pressing the OFF pad and unplugging the power cord.

NOTE: Do not overprocess foods. Stop and check the consistency of foods after a few seconds.

Ingredient Cap

Remove cap and add ingredients at STIR or MIX speeds. When operating at higher speeds, with a full jar or with hot contents, stop blender and add ingredients.

Step Start®Feature

•Before operating the blender, make sure the jar is properly assembled (see page 7) and in place on the blender base. Put ingredients into blender jar and attach lid firmly.

•Press the ON pad. The red indicator light should be blinking, showing that the blender is activated.

•Press the PULSE pad. The indicator light above the pad will glow, indicating that all the speed pads are in the Pulse mode.

•Select a speed pad and press for the desired length of time (a short delay reaching the selected speed is normal due to the Step Start

®

feature).

•To turn the Pulse feature off, just press the PULSE pad again. The blender is now ready for continuous operation. Before removing the blender jar, deactivate the blender by pressing the OFF pad and unplugging the power cord.

Speed Control Guide

Tip - Ice can be crushed at any speed. Process up to one standard ice cube tray

or 12 to 14 standard ice cubes at a time. No liquid needs to be added for processing, occasional stirring with spatula will be helpful. When using higher speeds, pulse may give better results.

3. Wipe cord with warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Cord can be coiled into the storage area on the bottom of the power base for neat and convenient storage.

NOTE: Always correctly assemble clean blender parts before storing on blender base.

NOTE: Do not immerse base in water.

1. Disassemble blender container parts and wash in warm, sudsy water. Rinse all parts and wipe dry. Or, wash in automatic dishwasher.

2. For complete cleaning, remove gasket from blade assembly, wash in warm, soapy water.

Quick Tips

•Use the pulse feature when making

beverages that include ice cubes in order to produce a smoother texture.

•Blend at LIQUEFY if you're making a

large amount of beverage using lots of ice. For smaller quantities, use CHOP.

•Smaller ice cubes can be chopped

or crushed faster than large ones.

•Add food to this blender jar in

larger quantities than you would with other blenders – you can add 2 to 3 cups at a time versus 1-cup portions.

•For many ingredient mixtures, start

the blending process at STIR to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

•Be sure to keep cover on blender

jar while blending.

•If desired, remove center cap of

blender jar cover to add liquids or ice cubes while the blender is operating at STIR or MIX speeds. When operating at higher speeds, with a full jar or with hot contents stop blender and add ingredients.

•Stop the blender and unplug

before using utensils in the blender jar.

•Cool hot foods, if possible, before

blending. Begin blending warm foods at STIR. Increase to higher speed, if necessary.

•Remove center ingredient cap

when blending warm or hot liquids and operate only on STIR.

How To ... Reconstitute frozen juice: For a

6-oz. can of orange juice concentrate, combine the juice and correct amount of water in the blender jar. Cover and blend at MIX until thoroughly combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.

For a 12-oz. can, combine the juice and 1 can of water in the blender jar. Cover and blend at MIX until thoroughly combined, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in remaining 2 cans of water.

Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling water into the blender jar. Remove center ingredient cap and blend at STIR until gelatin is dissolved, about 30 to 60 seconds. Add other ingredients.

Make cookie and graham cracker crumbs: Break larger cookies into

pieces about 1

1

⁄2 inches in diameter. Use smaller cookies as is. Place in blender jar. Cover and blend at STIR, pulsing a few times, about 3 seconds each time, until desired consistency is reached. Use the crumbs to make a quick topping for frozen yogurt, pudding, or a fruit compote.

To make a finer crumb for pie and dessert crusts, break graham crackers or cookies into pieces about 11⁄2 inches in diameter. Place in the blender jar. Cover and blend at LIQUEFY, pulsing a few times until desired consistency is reached, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Make cracker crumbs: Follow procedure for cookies. Use to top or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles and vegetable dishes.

Make bread crumbs: Tear bread into pieces about 11⁄2 inches in diameter. Follow procedure for crackers. Use in same ways you would use cracker crumbs.

Blender Tips

13

Blender Tips

How To ... Chop fruits and vegetables: Put

2 cups of fruit or vegetable chunks in blender jar. Cover and blend at STIR, pulsing a few times, about 2 to 3 seconds each time, until desired consistency is reached.
