When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.

Blender Features
This Blender was built and tested to
KitchenAid quality standards for optimum
performance and long, trouble-free life.
Robust Motor
ENGLISH
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.
Easy clean,
One-Piece Pitcher Design
One-piece design integrates a functional
pitcher with dynamic interior contours
that continually directs food into the
blade for fast, thorough blending. The
one-piece design also means cleaning is
achieved without removing the blade and
other parts. Pitcher stands up to extreme
temperatures – from boiling soups to
frozen margaritas and has a wide pour
spout to ensure smooth pouring. Pitcher is
dishwasher safe.
Pitcher
handle features soft inner-grip for firm,
comfortable, no-slip control.
Patented Stainless Steel Blade
Sharp oversized blade tines are positioned
on four different planes for fast, thorough,
and consistent blending. Our durable
blade design is built into the pitcher for
easy handling and cleaning.
Intelli-Speed™ Motor Control
Exclusive Intelli-Speed™ control
automatically works to keep speed
constant – even through density changes
when ingredients are added. This
advanced KitchenAid design maintains an
optimal blending speed for each culinary
task and control-pad setting.
[Models KSB560 and KSB580]
One-piece 56 oz. (1.75 L)
capacity clear, pitcher is shatter
resistant, scratch resistant,
and stain resistant. Pitcher
Speed Selection Buttons
Create frozen drinks and puree sauces or
soups in seconds. Blend with confidence,
control, and consistency at all speed
settings: STIR, CHOP, MIX, PUREE, and
LIQUEFY. The PULSE MODE works with
all five speeds. The CRUSH ICE mode is
designed specifically for crushing ice and
will automatically pulse at staggered
intervals for optimal results.
Soft Start™ 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.
Clean Touch™ Control Pad
Wipes clean in an instant. Smooth control
pad has no crevices or cracks to trap
ingredients.
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.
Stay-Put Lid with Clear,
2 oz. (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 2 oz. (60 mL) cap for
convenience in measuring and adding
ingredients.
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.
7
Preparing the Blender for Use

Care and Cleaning
The Blender pitcher and blade can be
easily cleaned without disassembly.
•CleantheBlenderthoroughlyafterevery
use.
•DonotimmersetheBlenderbaseor
cord in water.
•Donotuseabrasivecleansersor
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 cap,
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

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,
ENGLISH
No indicator lights are lit.
The Blender stops while blending:
All indicator lights are flashing
at the same time.
Indicator lights are flashing alternately.
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 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 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 jar.
If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps provided in this section, then contact
KitchenAid or an authorized service center.
