Electrical Requirements

Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60

The amperage rating for your blender is located on the serial plate. The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current.

NOTE: This Immersion Blender has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Extension cords are available and may be used if special care is exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used:

•The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

•The cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Troubleshooting Problems

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

1.Is the Immersion Blender plugged in?

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

3.Turn Immersion Blender off for 10-15 seconds, then turn Immersion Blender back on.

If the problem cannot be corrected with the above steps, see the KitchenAid Warranty on page 3. Do not return the Immersion Blender to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.

Immersion Blender Features

Speed Control Dial offers speeds ranging from 9 (high) to 1 (low).

One-Touch Power Button is located on the front of the motor body and is activated by pressing and holding during blending. To stop blending, simply release the power button.

Motor Body is designed for a comfortable, non-slip grip.

Powerful Motor (not shown) provides powerful blending action and is designed for quiet, long-life operation.

Blending Attachment with Stainless Steel Blade simply snaps onto the motor body. The sharp stainless steel blade is covered to help prevent splashing while blending.

Dual Ejector Buttons located on opposite sides of the motor body, release an attachment (and adapter) from the motor body when pressed.

5-ft. Power Cord is long enough to take the Immersion Blender to the cooktop or work area and is rounded with no grooves for easy clean up.

Blending Beaker and Lid are handy for individual blending jobs. Lid seals the top of the beaker to store blended ingredients.

Whisk Attachment and Adapter

(Models KHB200 and KHB300 only) whips egg whites and whipping cream. Whisk fits into the adapter, and the adapter snaps into the motor body. Adapter automatically adjusts the whisk to the proper range of speeds appropriate for whipping.

Chopper Attachment and Adapter

(Model KHB300 only) is perfect for small chopping jobs like herbs, nuts and vegetables. Chopper includes a bowl, blade, and chopper adapter. The chopper adapter snaps into the motor body, then locks over the top of the chopper bowl and blade. The chopper bowl base fits snugly on the bottom of the bowl during chopping process to prevent movement of the entire attachment, then seals on top of the chopper bowl for storage of ingredients.

Storage Bag (Model KHB300 only) Cotton Twill drawstring bag is designed with three distinctive pockets to store the Immersion Blender motor body, the stainless steel blending attachment, and the whisk attachment. Storage bag is machine washable.

Assembling Your Immersion Blender

1.Before using the KitchenAid® Immersion Blender for the first time, wipe the motor body and attachment adapters with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Mild dish soap may be used, but do not use abrasive cleansers.

NOTE: Do not immerse the motor body or the adapters in water.

Dry with a soft cloth. Wash all the attachments and accessories by hand or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall socket before attaching or removing attachments.

2.Install attachments by aligning the motor body with either the blending attachment or an attachment adapter (Models KHB200 and KHB300 only). Insert the blending attachment or attachment adapter into the motor body until it locks with a click.

3.Remove the attachments by pressing both ejector buttons on either side of the body.

4. Read Operating Tips (page 13).
