PRODUCT SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water or
other liquid.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning the
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision
is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before
assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the
plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the
manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on
examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. Do not use the appliance outdoors.

8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

9. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of
severe injury to persons or damage to the Blender. A scraper may be used but
must be used only when the Blender is not running.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

11. Always operate Blender with cover in place.

12. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by KitchenAid
may cause a risk of injury to persons.

13. When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 120 V
Frequency: 60 Hz

Amperage: 6.0 A
NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the outlet,

contact a qualified electrician or service
technician. 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 service technician to 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 0.9 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.

GETTING STARTED

First, clean all parts and accessories (see “Care and Cleaning” section).
Be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and clean.

The Blender pitcher ingredient cup can be used to measure and add ingredients. Remove cup
and add ingredients at 1 Stir, 2 Chop, or 3 Mix speeds. When operating at higher speeds with
a full pitcher or with hot contents, stop the Blender and then add ingredients.

The Soft Start blending feature automatically starts the Blender at a lower speed to draw
ingredients into the blades, then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal
performance. The Soft Start blending feature only works when a speed is selected and does
not work with the Pulse mode or Crush Ice features.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.

TIP: The Blender will not operate at any speed unless the POWER button is pressed first.

Problem Solution

Check to see if the Blender is securely plugged into a
grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, press POWER.

If Blender fails to start:

If Blender is plugged in, but
nothing happens when POWER
is pressed, and all indicator
lights are flashing:

If the Blender is plugged in, but
will not start and one light is
flashing alternately from all the
other indicator lights,

If Blender stops while blending:

If ingredients are stuck or not
blending:

If the Blender still does not work, check the fuse or circuit
breaker on the electrical circuit the Blender is connected
to and make sure the circuit is closed.

The motor rotor may be locked. Press POWER; then
unplug the Blender. Plug it back in; then press POWER
and select the desired speed.

The Blender may have a stuck key. Press POWER to
turn off the Blender; then unplug the Blender. Plug the
Blender back in and press POWER to turn back on to
reset the stuck key.

When overloaded or jammed, it will automatically shut off
to prevent motor damage. Press POWER to turn off the
Blender; then unplug the Blender. Remove the pitcher
and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients.

Or, divide contents into smaller batches. For certain
recipes, adding liquid in the pitcher may also reduce the
load.

Press POWER to turn off the Blender; then unplug the
Blender. Remove the pitcher from the Base, and use a
spatula to rearrange ingredients in the pitcher.

If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the “Warranty and Service” sections.
Do not return the Blender to the retailer. Retailers do not provide service.
