Techniques for better blending and crushing
For better blending: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the container momentarily, then
hold at an angle and using a light circular motion, slowly draw it upwards against the side of the
container. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work. As you
draw up the Hand Blender, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the container rising
up. When the ingredients are no longer rising from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the
bottom of the container and repeat until mixture is at the desired consistency.
For better crushing: Insert Hand Blender
with blending arm attached into the
container. For hard, frozen fruits or ice,
add a small amount of liquid to where the
S-blade is submerged. Remember to stop
the Hand Blender before removing it from
the container to avoid splashing.
TIP: To prevent overflow, allow room
in the container for the mixture to rise
when blending.

operating tips
• Cut solid foods into small pieces for
easier blending or chopping.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, press the
UNLOCK button once, then press
the PULSE button. If the unit does not
operate, but shows information on the
battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes
to automatically reset. If the unit does
not display information on the battery
indicator bar, charge the battery. If the
battery is already fully charged, and the
unit fails to operate, contact KitchenAid.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the heating
element to protect the Hand Blender
from overheating.
