BLENDER SAFETY | 3

W11090246A_EN_v03.indd 3			5/11/17 10:16 AM

BLENDER SAFETY

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

10.Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

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

12.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13.Always operate Blender with cover in place.

14.When blending hot liquids or ingredients, ingredient-measuring cap should remain in place over the lid opening. Always start on lowest speed and slowly ramp to desired speed when blending hot liquids or ingredients.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 120 V Frequency: 60 HZ Intensity (Amp.): 15 Amps

NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. 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 serviceman 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 3.0 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. This motor delivers 2.40 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.

USING THE BLENDER

BLENDER FUNCTION GUIDE

The Blender features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customize your blending for any recipe you make.

You might find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might blend more to your preference on a speed that is not obvious. For example, when making a smoothie, you may prefer the finer texture that a higher speed creates. We encourage you to experiment to find the best speed for your favorite recipes.

USING THE BLENDER

PREPARING THE BLENDER FOR USE

Before first use

Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe the blender base with a warm, damp cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash the blender jar, lid, tamper, and ingredient cup in warm, sudsy water (see the “Care and cleaning” section). Rinse parts and wipe dry.

Before using the Blender, be sure the countertop beneath the Blender

1 and surrounding areas are dry and clean. Then, plug the Blender into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

The main power switch is on the back of the blender base. Flip the POWER switch to the On position. The status 2 indicator light above the Start toggle

button will begin to flash, indicating that the Blender is in Standby mode. The Blender is now ready to operate.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE BLENDER AND ACCESSORIES

Clean the Blender thoroughly after every use.

NOTE: To avoid damaging the Blender, do not immerse the blender base

or cord in water. To avoid scratching the Blender, do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>ENGLISH

To clean the blender base and cord: Unplug the Blender before cleaning.

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

Rotate the control dial to Max. Flip the START/STOP toggle switch up or down. Run the Blender on the Max speed setting for 35 seconds. Flip the START/STOP toggle switch up or

3 down to stop the Blender. When the blade stops spinning, pour out the soapy water, and rinse the blender jar with warm water. When cleaning after some recipes (hummus, nut butters) it might be necessary to repeat these steps.

Make sure to clean the blender jar, lid, and ingredient-measuring

cap after each use. Remove any remaining contents from the blender jar using a spatula and rinse with

2 hot water. Fill jar with 24 oz. of hot water and add 3-4 drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Place the lid on the blender jar, and make sure the blender jar is fully in place on the blender base.

The blender jar, lid, tamper, and ingredient-measuring cap are dishwasher safe; the tamper, lid, and ingredient-measuring cap should

4 be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. If preferred, all parts may also be washed by hand with a damp cloth and warm soapy water, and then rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1.When the Blender is plugged in and the main power On/Off toggle switch is on, the Blender will go into

Standby mode (flashing white indicator light). However, after 10 minutes of

no activity the Blender will go into Sleep mode and the indicator light will turn off.

•To wake up the Blender simply flip the START/STOP toggle switch up or down. This will put the Blender back into Standby mode.

2.If the status indicator light flashes an orange color, the Blender is in error mode. This can be caused by:

using a spatula in the blender jar that locks up the blade or having an ice cube or hard food in a location that locks up the blade.

•Correct the problem by turning off the Blender using the dedicated off switch in the back, or by unplugging the Blender. Remove the blender jar from the base, and clear the items.

Place the blender jar back on the base, and then turn the Blender back on to continue regular use.

3.If the Blender stops while blending:

•After 6 minutes of run time, the Blender will automatically shut off and go into Sleep mode, and the LED light will turn off. You can wake the Blender back up using the toggle switches (Start/Stop or Pulse High/Pulse Low). If the Blender stops in less than 6 minutes, it is possible there is an internal error with the Blender. Contact an authorized service center for assistance.

4.If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t blending:

•There may be times when an air pocket is created around the blade, causing the ingredients to miss the blending blade. Use your tamper to assist during the blend by pushing ingredients into the blade, or stir to move ingredients around the blender jar. If that does not work, stop the Blender, remove the blender jar from the base, and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the blender jar. For certain recipes, try adding more liquid.

5.If you experience an overflow from the blender jar:

•Unplug the Blender. Remove the jar and jar pad. Clean the blender housing, jar pad, and exterior

of the jar. Dry each part thoroughly, and then re-install the jar pad.

•If the overflow is on or over the control dial, it can be removed by gently and firmly pulling it off.

After cleaning and drying, reinstall the knob. To avoid damage to the graphics, do not apply too much force or use abrasive cleansers.

If the problem cannot be corrected: See the “Warranty and service” section.

Do not return the Blender to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
