Product Features
The following are some of the KitchenAid Blender’s
unique product features (Fig. 1):
Figure 1
Stay-Put Lid with Clear, 60 ml Ingredient Cup:
1.
Provides a strong seal. The flexible lid will maintain
its tight seal throughout the life of the blender.
The lid incorporates a removable 60 ml cup for
convenience in measuring and adding ingredients.
Easy Pour 1.5 L Glass Pitcher:
2.
Glass pitcher
resists scratches, stains, and odors. Pitcher is
removable from locking collar for easy cleaning, and
withstands a range of extreme temperatures. Easy
pour spout provides smooth, drip-free pouring.
Locking Collar and Blade Assembly:
3.
Durable,
one-piece blade design is built into the locking collar
for easy handling and cleaning. Dishwasher-safe
assembly keeps the blades from rotating until the
pitcher is properly attached to the collar and put on
the blender base.
Patented Stainless Steel Blade:
4.
Sharp oversized
blade tines are positioned on four different planes
for fast, thorough, and consistent blending.
Durable Steel-Reinforced Couplers:
5.
Commercial-
quality couplers with 12 interlocking teeth provide
direct transfer of motor power to the blade. Pitcher
coupler is coated for quiet operation.
Die-Cast Metal Base:
6.
Heavy, die-cast metal base
ensures stable, quiet operation when blending a
full pitcher of ingredients. Four rubber feet on wide,
solid base provide a no-slip, non-marring grip.
Smooth and rounded, the base is easy to clean and
features cord storage underneath.
Robust Motor:
7.
Rugged 0.9-horsepower motor
supplies the power for superb performance with all
blending tasks – from pureeing sauces to making
chunky salsas, or uniformly crushing a pitcher of ice
or frozen fruit within seconds for silky smoothies.
Intelli-Speed
8.
TM
Motor Control:
Exclusive Intelli-
Speed
TM
control automatically works to keep speed
constant – even through density changes when
ingredients are added. This advanced KitchenAid
design maintains an optimal blending speed for
each culinary task and control setting.
Clean Touch Control Panel:
9.
Wipes clean in an
instant. Smooth control pad has no crevices or
cracks to trap ingredients.
Soft Start Blending Feature:
10.
The blender starts
at a slower speed to pull food into the blade then
quickly increases to selected speed setting. This
design feature reduces start-up kick and allows
hands-free operation.
Speed Selection Buttons:
11.
Create frozen drinks
and puree sauces or soups in seconds. Blend with
confidence, control, and consistency at all speed
settings: STIR (
), CHOP (
), MIX (
),
PUREE (
), and LIQUEFY (
). The PULSE (
)
mode works with all five speeds. The CRUSH
ICE (
) feature is designed specifically for crushing
ice and will automatically pulse at staggered
intervals for optimal results.
Preparing the Blender for Use
Before First Use
Before using your blender for the first time, wipe
blender base with a warm sudsy cloth, then wipe clean
with a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash pitcher,
lid, locking collar and blade assembly, sealing ring and
ingredient cup in warm, sudsy water. Rinse parts and
wipe dry.
