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 puréeing sauces to making chunky salsas, or uniformly crushing a pitcher of ice or frozen fruit within seconds for silky smoothies.

Easy Pour 48 oz. (1.5 L) 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 2 oz. (60 ml) Ingredient Cup

Provides a strong seal. The flexible lid will maintain its tight seal throughout the life of the Blender. The lid incorporates a removable 2 oz. (60 ml) cup for convenience in measuring and adding ingredients.

Patented Stainless Steel Blade

Sharp over-sized 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 Coupler

Commercial-quality coupler with 12 interlocking teeth provide direct transfer of motor power to the blades. Pitcher coupler is coated for quiet operation.

Speed Selection Buttons

Create frozen drinks and purée sauces or soups in seconds. Blend with confidence, control and consistency at all speed settings: STIR, CHOP, MIX, PURÉE and LIQUEFY. The PULSE MODE works with all five speeds. The CRUSH ICE feature is designed specifically for crushing ice and will automatically pulse at staggered intervals for optimal results.

Intelli-Speed

Exclusive Intelli-Speed

Motor Control

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.

Soft Start

Blending Feature

The Blender starts at a slower speed to pull ingredients 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 cord storage underneath.

Clean Touch™ Control Pad

Wipes clean in an instant. Smooth control pad has no crevices or cracks to trap ingredients.

ENGLISH

Preparing the Blender for Use

Before First Use

Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe Blender base with a warm sudsy cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry

Care and Cleaning

The Blender pitcher, locking collar and blade assembly can be easily cleaned as individual components or together without disassembly.

To Clean Individual Components

1. Lift the pitcher assembly in a straight,

upwards motion off the Blender base. Then, while holding locking collar, rotate pitcher counterclockwise, two clicks, to separate locking collar and blade assembly, and sealing ring from the pitcher. Wash components with soapy water. Rinse and wipe dry.

NOTE: Pitcher can be placed in the bottom rack of an automatic dishwasher. The lid, ingredient cup, locking collar and blade assembly, and sealing ring can be put in the top rack. For best results, hand washing is recommended.

To Clean Without Disassembly

1. Put the pitcher on the Blender base, fill half full with warm (not hot) water, and add 1 or 2 drops of dishwashing liquid. Put 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 with warm water until clean.

2. To clean the lid and ingredient cup, wash in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

3. Wipe the Blender base and cord with a warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.

is, press OFF, then unplug the Blender. Plug it back into 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 and unplug the power cord. Remove the pitcher assembly from the base and divide contents into smaller batches. Adding liquid to the ingredients 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 and unplug the power cord. Remove the pitcher assembly from the base and with a scraper, free the blades by breaking-up or removing the contents at the bottom of the pitcher.

The Blender turns on, but blades will not rotate:

The pitcher is not properly secured in the locking collar, not allowing couplers to engage. 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.

If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps provided in this section, contact KitchenAid or an Authorized KitchenAid Service Center.
