3/28/16 3:27 PM Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

ENGLISH BLENDER SAFETY This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, 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. 5. Avoid contact with moving parts. 6. Do not operate the Blender with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. 7. Do not use outdoors. 8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 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 Flex Edge 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 WARNING 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

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.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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 3.5 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 2.45 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.

3/28/16 3:27 PM BLENDER FUNCTION GUIDE The Blender has three preset recipe programs: Juice, Smoothies, and Soups. It also features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customize your blending for any recipe you make.

ENGLISH The three preset recipe programs were each developed based on typical recipes of that kind. You might find that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might blend more to your preference on a program that is not obvious. For example, when making a smoothie, you may prefer the finer texture that the Juice program creates.

We encourage you to experiment to find the best program for your favorite recipes.

SETTING JUICE SMOOTHIES SOUPS*

CLEANING PULSE DESCRIPTION Several variations of speed to best capture whole fruits or vegetables to liquefy contents.

Slower speeds at conclusion of cycle to settle ingredients and reduce froth.

Gradually ramp up to full power to completely blend hard foods such as ice, whole fruits or vegetables, or frozen fruits.

Heat your soup from room temperature ingredients.

Gradually ramps up to high speed to allow for contents to fall into the blade for a complete blend. Slow speeds at the end allow contents to settle and reduce froth.

Quick pulses of power and high speeds work to clean the blender jar by filling 1/3 of the jar with water and a drop of dish soap.

Allow precise control of the duration and frequency of blending. Great for recipes that require a light touch.

VARIABLE SPEEDS Fruits

Frozen chopped fruit (defrost slightly until it can be probed with a knife tip)

Whole fruits and vegetables

Alternatively, use Pulse during manual operation to add a boost of power momentarily.

Manual speeds offer ultimate control of the blender. Allows for fine-tuned chopping and blending needs to prepare any recipe.

SUGGESTED ITEMS TO BLEND Soup

Savory crumb topping

Meat salad for sandwich filling

Sauces Doughs Butters

* If blending pre-heated ingredients, use variable speed and run for 1-2 minutes. Start on a low speed and ramp up to the speed desired. The soup setting is designed to heat cooled or room-temperature ingredients, and is not intended for pre-heated ingredients.

3/28/16 3:27 PM ENGLISH 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.

To clean the blender base and cord:

Unplug the Blender before cleaning. 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 the Clean program. Flip the START/STOP toggle switch up or down. When the program finishes, pour out the soapy water, and rinse the blender jar with warm water.

Make sure to clean the blender jar, lid and ingredient-measuring cap after each use. Remove any remaining contents from the blender jar. Fill 1/3 of the blender jar with warm water and add 1 drop of liquid 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, Flex Edge tamper, and ingredient-measuring cap are dishwasher safe; the Flex Edge tamper, lid, and ingredient-measuring cap should 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.

NOTE: The handle grip can remain on the handle of the blender jar during cleaning and dishwasher cycles. If needed, the handle grip can be removed to run through the dishwasher separately and then replaced.

3/28/16 3:27 PM TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. 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 Flex Edge 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.
