Preliminary Inspection of Blender
Before servicing the blender, the following inspection
should be performed. All service should be performed
on a clean, dry surface with good illumination.
Lid and Ingredient Cap:• Place the lid on top of the
jar and push securely on the jar with the ingredient
cap in place.
Power Base:• Inspect the blender power base. Make
sure the coupling at the end of the motor shaft moves
freely. Make sure the four rubber feet are level. Make
sure that all of the base assembly screws under the
rubber feet are intact and secure.
Clean Touch Pad:• Make sure the blender’s clean
touch pad is clean and not distorted.
Power Cord (Stored in Base) (Fig. 8):• Before any
operation of the blender is performed, check the
power cord for cuts or tears. If any damage to the
power cord is found, replace the entire power cord
before attempting operation.

Operating the KitchenAid Blender
The KitchenAid blender will operate in two different
operating modes: Continuous mode and pulse mode.
Continuous Operation
Continuous operation of the blender is accomplished by
pushing a “MODE” pad on the blender’s control panel.
Place one of your hands on top of the jar lid and press
one of the speed pads with your other hand.
NOTE: A short delay reaching the selected speed is
normal due to the soft start feature. The blender should
run and an indicator light for the selected speed will
come on.
You can check all the speeds by pressing either a
higher or lower speed, without stopping the Motor.
To turn the blender off, press the “O” pad. The “O” pad
will stop any speed and deactivate the blender at the
same time.
Always deactivate the blender by pressing the “O” pad
and unplugging the power cord before removing the
blender jar.
Pulse Operation
Activate the “Pulse At Any Speed” feature by pressing
the “PULSE” pad. You will hear a click, and the indicator
light above the pad will blink, indicating that the blender
is activated.
Place one of your hands on top of the jar lid and press
one of the desired speed pads with your other hand for
the desired pulse time.
NOTE: A short delay reaching the selected speed is
normal due to the soft start feature.
To turn the pulse feature off, just press the “O” pad. The
blender is now ready for continuous operation.
