BLENDER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always

be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water

or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or

near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,

and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. Do not operate the Blender with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance

malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance

to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical

or mechanical adjustment.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

4 | BLENDER SAFETY

BLENDER SAFETY

9. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk

of severe injury to persons or damage to the Blender. A spatula or scraper

other than the provided tamper may be used, but must be used only when

the Blender is not running.

10. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

11. The use of attachments, including canning blender jars, not recommended

by KitchenAid may cause a risk of injury to persons.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. Always operate Blender with cover in place.

14. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, ingredient-measuring cap should

remain in place over the lid opening. Always start on lowest speed and

slowly ramp to desired speed when blending hot liquids or ingredients.

Motor horsepower for the Blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine

that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.0 peak

horsepower (HP) motor reference reects the horsepower output of the motor itself and

not the Blender’s horsepower output in the Blender pitcher. As with any blender, the

power output in the pitcher is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This

motor delivers 2.40 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power

for all your recipes.

USING THE BLENDER | 5

USING THE BLENDER

The Blender features Variable Speed and Pulse functions that allow you to customize

your blending for any recipe you make.

You might nd that not all recipes are exactly the same, and sometimes a recipe might

blend more to your preference on a speed that is not obvious. For example, when making

a smoothie, you may prefer the ner texture that a higher speed creates. We encourage

you to experiment to nd the best speed for your favorite recipes.
