Tip - Process up to one standard ice cube tray or 12 to 14 standard ice cubes at a time. Occasional stirring with a spatula will be helpful only when blender is off. The CHOP ICE feature has been optimized to crush and chop ice without adding any liquid ingredients.

Care and Cleaning

The blender pitcher and blade can be easily cleaned without disassembly.

• Clean the blender thoroughly after every use.

• Do not immerse the blender base or cord in water.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

1. To clean the blade, place the pitcher on

the blender base, fill one-half full with warm (not hot) water, and add 1 or 2 drops of dishwashing liquid. Place the lid on the pitcher, press the STIR speed setting, and run the blender for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove the pitcher and

empty contents. Rinse the pitcher with warm water until clean. The pitcher can also be washed in the bottom rack of an automatic dishwasher.

2. To clean the lid and ingredient cup, wash in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. These parts can also be washed in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher. For best results, hand washing is recommended.

3. Wipe the blender base and cord with a warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth. For storage, the cord can be coiled into the cord-wrap on the bottom of the base.

into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If it is, press 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 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 avoid damage to the motor. Press OFF to reset the blender. Remove the pitcher from the base and divide the pitcher contents into smaller batches. Adding liquid to the pitcher may also reduce the load on the blender.

The blender may be jammed. If it’s jammed, the blender will stop running to avoid damage to the motor. Press 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 pitcher.

If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps provided in this section, then contact KitchenAid or an authorized service center.
