Blender Features
This Blender was built and tested to
KitchenAid quality standards for optimum
performance and long, trouble-free life.
Robust Motor
Rugged 0.9-horsepower motor supplies
the power for superb performance with
all blending tasks – from pureeing sauces
to making chunky salsas, or uniformly
crushing a pitcher of ice or frozen fruit
within seconds for silky smoothies.
Plastic Pitcher*
One-piece 1.75 L capacity
clear, plastic pitcher is shatter
resistant, scratch resistant, and
stain resistant. Pitcher handle
features soft inner-grip for firm,
comfortable, no-slip control.
Glass Pitcher*
Glass Pitcher resists scratches,
stains, and odors. Pitcher
is removable from locking
collar for easy cleaning, and
withstands a range of extreme
temperatures. Easy pour spout provides
smooth drip-free pouring.
Stay-Put Lid with Clear,
60 mL Ingredient Cap
Provides a strong seal. The flexible lid
will maintain its tight seal throughout
the life of the Blender. The lid includes a
removable 60 mL cap for convenience in
measuring and adding ingredients.
Patented Stainless Steel Blade
Sharp oversized blade tines are positioned
on four different planes for fast, thorough,
and consistent blending.
Locking Collar and Blade Assembly*
Durable, one-piece blade design is built
into the locking collar for easy handling
and cleaning. Dishwasher-safe assembly
keeps the blades from rotating until the
pitcher is properly attached to the collar
and put on the Blender base.
Durable Steel-Reinforced Couplers
Commercial-quality couplers with 12
interlocking teeth provide direct transfer of
motor power to the blade. Pitcher coupler
is coated for quiet operation.

when ingredients are added. This
advanced KitchenAid design maintains an
optimal blending speed for each culinary
task and control-pad setting.
Motor Control Feature
The Blender motor starts at a slower speed
to pull food into the blade then quickly
increases to selected speed setting. This
design feature reduces start-up kick and
allows hands-free operation.
Die-Cast Metal Base
Heavy, die-cast metal base ensures stable,
quiet operation when blending a full
pitcher of ingredients. Four rubber feet on
wide, solid base provide a no-slip, nonmarring grip. Smooth and rounded, the
base is easy to clean and features tidy cord
storage underneath.

Troubleshooting
The Blender does not operate when a setting is selected:
Check to see if the Blender is plugged
into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If it is,
press O (Off), then unplug the Blender.
Plug it back in to the same outlet. If the
Blender still does not work, check the
fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical
circuit the Blender is connected to and
No indicator lights are lit.
The Blender stops while blending:
All indicator lights are flashing
at the same time.
Indicator lights are flashing alternately.
make sure the circuit is closed.
The Blender may be overloaded. If the
Blender becomes overloaded when
blending heavy ingredients, it will
automatically shut off to prevent damage
to the motor. Press O (Off) to reset the
Blender. Remove the jar from the base
and divide the jar contents into smaller
batches. Adding liquid to the jar may
also reduce the load on the Blender.
The Blender may be jammed. If it’s
jammed, the Blender will stop running
to prevent damage to the motor. Press
O (Off) to reset the Blender. Remove
the pitcher from the base and free the
blades by breaking-up or removing the
contents at the bottom of the jar.
ENGLISH
The Blender turns on, but blades will not rotate.
The pitcher is not properly secured in
the locking collar (glass pitcher models
only), not allowing couplers to engage.
Gap
Remove pitcher from base and fully seat
into collar. Press down and rotate pitcher
clockwise in the locking collar past the
second “click.” This will allow the pitcher
assembly to engage the coupler. See
"Blender Assembly".
