BLENDER SERVICE MANUAL
Preliminary Inspection of Blender
Before servicing the blender, the following inspection should be performed. All service should be performed on a clean, dry surface with good illumination.
•Lid and Ingredient Cap: Place the lid on top of the jar and push securely on the jar with the ingredient cap in place.
•Power Base: Inspect the blender power base. Make sure the coupling at the end of the motor shaft moves freely. Make sure the four rubber feet are level. Make sure that all of the base assembly screws under the rubber feet are intact and secure.
•Clean Touch Pad: Make sure the blender’s clean touch pad is clean and not distorted.
•Power Cord (Stored in Base) (Fig. 8): Before any operation of the blender is performed, check the power cord for cuts or tears. If any damage to the power cord is found, replace the entire power cord before attempting operation.

Do not use an extension cord.

Operating the KitchenAid Blender
The KitchenAid blender will operate in two different operating modes: Continuous mode and pulse mode.
Continuous Operation
Continuous operation of the blender is accomplished by pushing a “MODE” pad on the blender’s control panel.
Place one of your hands on top of the jar lid and press one of the speed pads with your other hand.
NOTE: A short delay reaching the selected speed is normal due to the soft start feature. The blender should run and an indicator light for the selected speed will come on.
You can check all the speeds by pressing either a higher or lower speed, without stopping the Motor.
To turn the blender off, press the “O” pad. The “O” pad will stop any speed and deactivate the blender at the same time.
Always deactivate the blender by pressing the “O” pad and unplugging the power cord before removing the blender jar.
Pulse Operation
Activate the “Pulse At Any Speed” feature by pressing the “PULSE” pad. You will hear a click, and the indicator light above the pad will blink, indicating that the blender is activated.
Place one of your hands on top of the jar lid and press one of the desired speed pads with your other hand for the desired pulse time.
NOTE: A short delay reaching the selected speed is normal due to the soft start feature.
To turn the pulse feature off, just press the “O” pad. The blender is now ready for continuous operation.
You are now ready to check the operation of the blender. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC outlet.
