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. The ingredient cup is interchangeable with the drizzle cap on the accessory jar lid (model KSB755).

24 oz. (0.75 L) shatter-Resistant Accessory Jar (Model KsB755)

Durable accessory jar is useful for small capacity recipes and individual servings.

Accessory Jar Lid with Drizzle cap (Model KsB755)

The twist-lock lid includes a removable drizzle cap that fits both the accessory jar and pitcher lids. This versatile cap can be used to drizzle oils or other ingredients while the blender is in operation.

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 or accessory jar 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® 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.

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.

Blender tips

Quick tips

•In order to produce a smoother texture, blend with CRUSh ICE if you’re making beverages using ice.

•Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.

•Add food to this glass Blender pitcher in larger quantities than you would with other blenders – you can add 2 to 3 cups (475 to 710 ml) at a time, and use accessory jar for smaller portions.

•For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at STIR to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

•Be sure to keep lid on pitcher or accessory jar while blending.

•If desired, remove center ingredient cup or drizzle cap of the pitcher or accessory jar lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the Blender is operating on STIR, ChOP or MIx speeds.

•When operating at higher speeds with a full pitcher or accessory jar or with hot contents, stop the Blender and then add ingredients.

•Stop the Blender before using utensils in the pitcher or accessory jar. Use a rubber spatula to mix ingredients only when the Blender is OFF. To avoid damaging the utensil or blender blades, do not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the pitcher or accessory jar while the motor is running.

•Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods on STIR. Increase to higher speed, if necessary.

•Remove center ingredient cup or drizzle cap when blending hot liquids and operate only on STIR. Do not place bare hand on lid when processing hot liquids.

•Stop and check the consistency of foods after a few seconds to avoid over-processing.

How to ...

Reconstitute frozen juice: For a 6 oz. (175 ml) can of orange juice concentrate, combine the juice and correct amount of water in the pitcher. Cover and blend at MIx until thoroughly combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.

For a 12 oz. (355 ml) can, combine the juice and 1 can of water in the pitcher. Cover and blend on MIx until thoroughly combined, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in remaining 2 cans of water.

Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling water into the pitcher or accessory jar; add gelatin. Remove center ingredient cup and blend on STIR until gelatin is dissolved, about 10 to 30 seconds. Add other ingredients.

Make cookie and graham cracker crumbs: Break larger cookies into pieces about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter. Use smaller cookies as-is. Place in pitcher or accessory jar. In PULSE MODE, cover and blend on ChOP, pulsing a few times, about 3 seconds each time, until desired consistency is reached. Use the crumbs to make a quick topping for frozen yogurt, pudding, or a fruit compote.

To make finer crumbs for pie and dessert crusts, break graham crackers or cookies into pieces about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter and place in the pitcher or accessory jar. In PULSE MODE, cover and blend on LIQUEFY, pulsing a few times

until desired consistency is reached, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Make cracker crumbs: Follow procedure for cookies. Use as a topping or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles and vegetable dishes.

Make bread crumbs: Tear bread into pieces about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter. Follow procedure for cookies. Use as a topping or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles and vegetable dishes.

Blender tips

chop fruits and vegetables: Put 2 cups (475 ml) of fruit or vegetable chunks in pitcher or accessory jar. In PULSE MODE, cover and blend on STIR, pulsing a few times, about 2 to 3 seconds each time, until desired consistency is reached.

Puree fruits: Place 2 cups (475 ml) canned or cooked fruit in pitcher or accessory jar. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60 ml) fruit juice or water per cup (235 ml) of fruit. Cover and blend on PUREE about 5 to 10 seconds.

Puree vegetables: Place 2 cups (475 ml) canned or cooked vegetables in pitcher or accessory jar. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons

(30 to 60 ml) broth, water, or milk per cup (235 ml) of vegetables. Cover and blend on PUREE about 10 to 20 seconds.

Puree meats: Place cooked, cubed, tender meat in pitcher. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 ml) broth, water, or milk per cup (235 ml) of meat. Cover and blend on STIR 10 seconds. Stop the Blender and scrape sides of pitcher. Cover and blend on PUREE 10 to 20 seconds longer.

Puree cottage cheese or ricotta cheese: Place cottage cheese or ricotta cheese in pitcher or accessory jar. Cover and blend on MIx until smooth, about 25 to 35 seconds. Stop the Blender and scrape sides as needed. If necessary, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of skim milk per cup (235 ml) of cottage cheese. Use as a base for low-fat dips and spreads.
