easily cleaned without disassembly.
• Clean the blender thoroughly after every
use.
2. 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.
• Do not immerse the blender base or
cord in water.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
1. To clean the blade, place the pitcher on 3. Wipe the blender base and cord with
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

Troubleshooting
The blender does not operate when a setting is selected:
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.
No indicator lights are lit.
The blender stops while blending:
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.
All indicator lights are flashing
at the same time.
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.
Indicator lights are flashing alternately.
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
How To ...
• 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. Do not use any utensil, including
spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor
is running.
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 at 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; add gelatin.
Remove center ingredient cap and blend
at 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 11/2" (3.75 cm) in diameter. Use
smaller cookies as-is. Place in pitcher. In
PULSE MODE, cover and blend at 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 a finer crumb for pie and dessert
crusts, break graham crackers or cookies
into pieces about 11/2" (3.75 cm) in
diameter and place in the pitcher.
In PULSE MODE, cover and blend at
LIQUEFY, pulsing a few times until desired
consistency is reached, about 20 to
30 seconds.
• 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
Make cracker crumbs: Follow procedure
for cookies. Use as a topping or as an
ingredient in main dish casseroles and
vegetable dishes.
over-processing.
Make bread crumbs: Tear bread into
pieces about 11/2" (3.75 cm) in diameter.
Follow procedure for cookies. Use as a
topping or as an ingredient in main dish
casseroles and vegetable dishes.
