Pulse Mode Feature

Your KitchenAid® Blender offers Pulse Mode, which allows a “Pulse-at-any- Speed” feature.

NOTE: Pulse Mode will not work with the Crush Ice feature.

1.Before operating the Blender, make sure the pitcher is properly in place on the Blender base.

2.Put ingredients into pitcher, and firmly attach lid.

3.Press PULSE MODE. The indicator light above the button will blink to indicate that all five speeds are in the Pulse Mode.

4.Select a speed button. Press and hold for the desired length of time. Both the speed button and Pulse Mode indicators will stay lit when pulsing at the selected speed. When button is released, the blending will stop, but the Blender will remain in Pulse Mode and the Pulse Mode indicator will return to blinking. To pulse again or at another speed, simply press and hold the button of the desired speed.

5.To turn off the Pulse Mode feature, press OFF. The Blender is now ready for continuous operation.

6.Before removing the pitcher, press OFF to deactivate the Blender, and unplug the power cord.

Ingredient Cap

The 2 oz. (60 mL) ingredient cap can be used to measure and add ingredients. Remove cap and add ingredients at STIR, CHOP or MIX speeds. When operating at higher speeds, with a full

pitcher or with hot contents, stop the Blender and then add ingredients.

Soft Start™ Blending Feature

The Soft Start™ blending feature automatically starts the Blender at a lower speed to draw ingredients into the blades, then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.

NOTE: The Soft Start™ blending feature only works when a speed is selected from the “Off” mode. The Soft Start™ feature does not work with Pulse Mode or Crush Ice.
