and tips on how to clean your Blender.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF YOUR BLENDER MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILS TO OPERATE

• Is the Blender plugged into a grounded

electrical outlet?

Plug the Blender into a grounded electrical

outlet.

• Is the fuse in the circuit to the Blender in

working order?

If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure

the circuit is closed. Try unplugging the

Blender, then plug it back into a grounded

electrical outlet.

• If Blender stops while blending:

The Blender becomes overloaded or

jammed when blending heavy ingredients.

It will automatically shut off to prevent

damage to the motor. Unplug the power

cord. Remove the Blender Jar from the

base and use a spatula to rearrange

ingredients in the Blender Jar.

If it’s overloaded, divide contents into

smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding

liquid to the Blender Jar may also reduce

the load on the Blender.

• If the ingredients of a recipe aren’t

blending:

There may be times when an air pocket

is created around the blade, causing the

ingredients to miss the blending blade.

Unplug the power cord. Remove the

Blender Jar from the base, and use a

spatula to rearrange ingredients in the

Blender Jar.

• If Blender stops while blending with

Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar:

If Blender stops, unplug the power cord.

Remove the Personal Jar or Small Batch

Jar from the base, and shake it a little bit.

Place it back on the base, and then turn the

Blender back on to continue regular use.

• If the problem cannot be corrected:

See the “KitchenAid®Warranty and

Service” sections. Contact an authorized

service center for assistance.

Do not return the Blender to the retailer –

retailers do not provide service.

4 The Reamer, Juice Container and Pulp Basket can be

cleaned in the bottom rack of a dishwasher.
