Using the Blender
Pulse Mode Feature
Your KitchenAid
®
blender offers Pulse
Mode, which allows a “Pulse-at-any-
Speed” feature.
NOTE: Pulse Mode will not work with the
Crush Ice feature.
1. Before operating the blender, make
sure the pitcher is properly in place on
the blender base.
2. Put ingredients into pitcher, and firmly
attach lid.
3. Press PULSE MODE. The indicator
light above the button will blink to
indicate that all five speeds are in the
Pulse Mode.
4. Select a speed button. Press and hold
for the desired length of time. Both
the speed button and Pulse Mode
indicators will stay lit when pulsing at
the selected speed. When button is
released, the blending will stop, but
the blender will remain in Pulse Mode
and the Pulse Mode indicator will
return to blinking. To pulse again or at
another speed, simply press and hold
the button of the desired speed.
5. To turn off the Pulse Mode feature,
press OFF. The blender is now ready for
continuous operation.
6. Before removing the pitcher, press OFF
to deactivate the blender, and unplug
the power cord.
Ingredient Cap
The 2 oz (60 mL) ingredient cap can be
used to measure and add ingredients.
Remove cap and add ingredients 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.
Soft Start

Blending Feature
The Soft Start
TM

automatically starts the blender at a lower
speed to draw ingredients into the blades,
then quickly increases to the selected
speed for optimal performance.
NOTE: The Soft Start
TM
blending feature
only works when a speed is selected from
the “Off” mode. The Soft Start
TM
feature
does not work with Pulse Mode or
Crush Ice.
