To Operate Your Blender
NOTE: While red indicator light is
blinking or blender is on:
- Do not touch blades.
- Do not interfere with blade
movement.
- Do not remove blender jar lid.
•With red light flashing, an
accidental touching of a speed pad,
or other circumstances may result in
turning on the blender.
• If blender runs when ON light is
flashing, do not use. Take unit to an
Authorized Service Center. (However
a slight flicker is normal.)
• This unit should operate only when
a speed pad is pressed. Immediately
press the OFF pad if the unit runs at
any other time. If this occurs, do
not use; take the unit to an
Authorized Service Center.
The KitchenAid
®
Classic blender has
three speeds: Stir, Mix and Liquefy.
• Before operating the blender, make
sure the blender jar is properly
assembled (see page 7) and in place
on the blender base. Put ingredients
in jar and firmly attach lid.
•Press the ON pad. The red indicator
light should blink on and off
indicating the speed pads are
activated.
NOTE: If the red indicator light is not
blinking at this time, unplug blender
and take unit to an Authorized
Service Center.
• Press the desired speed pad for
continuous operation at that speed.
The indicator light will glow and
the red light will stay on. You may
change speeds without stopping
the unit by pushing the new
speed pad.
• If blending warm foods or liquids,
place a cloth over the blender lid
and operate only on STIR speed.
Do not place bare hand over
blender lid.
•To turn the blender off, press the
OFF pad. The OFF pad will stop any
speed and deactivate the blender at
the same time. Before removing the
blender jar, deactivate the blender
by pressing the OFF pad and
unplugging the power cord.
NOTE: Do not overprocess foods.
Stop and check the consistency of
foods after a few seconds.
