Models KSB560 and KSB580 56 oz. (1.75 L) Pitcher

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 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

[Models KSB560 and KSB580] One-piece 56 oz. (1.75 L) capacity clear, pitcher is shatter resistant, scratch resistant, and stain resistant. 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.

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, non-marring grip. Smooth and rounded, the base is easy to clean and features tidy cord storage underneath.

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 with a soft cloth. Wash one-piece pitcher, lid, and ingredient cap in warm, sudsy water or just add soap and warm water to the pitcher, place it on the Blender base, and blend to clean (see Care and Cleaning section). Rinse parts and wipe dry.

care and cleaning

The Blender pitcher and blade can be easily cleaned without disassembly.

• Clean the Blender thoroughly after every use.
• Do not immerse the Blender base or cord in water.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

• 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.

1. 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.
2. 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 into the cord-wrap on the bottom of the base.

Troubleshooting

The Blender does not operate when a setting is selected:

Stir Chop Mix Puree Liquety OFF Pulse Mode Crush Ice WARNING. Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Do not touch blades.

No indicator lights are lit.

Check to see if the Blender is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet. If it is, 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 stops while blending:

Stir Chop Mix Puree Liquefy OFF Pulse Mode Crush Ice WARNING: Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Do not touch blades.

All indicator lights are flashing at the same time.

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.

Stir Chop Mix Puree Liquefy OFF Pulse Mode Crush Ice WARNING: Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Do not touch blades.

Indicator lights are flashing alternately.

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.

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 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 versus 1 cup (235 mL) 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 while blending.
• If desired, remove center cap of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the Blender is operating at STIR, CHOP or MIX speeds.
• When operating at higher speeds with a full pitcher or with hot contents, stop the Blender and then add ingredients.
• Stop the Blender before using utensils in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to mix ingredients only when the Blender is OFF. Never use any utensil, including spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor is running.
• Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods at STIR. Increase to higher speed, if necessary.
• Remove center ingredient cap when blending hot liquids and operate only on STIR. Do not place bare hand on pitcher lid when processing hot liquids.
• Stop and check the consistency of foods after a few seconds to avoid over-processing.
