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 Step 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 “OFF” pad. The
“OFF” pad will stop any speed and deactivate the
Blender at the same time.
Always deactivate the Blender by pressing the
“OFF” pad and unplugging the Power Cord before
removing the Blender Jar.
Pulse Operation:
Activate the “Pulse At Any
Speed” feature by pressing the “PULSE MODE”
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 Step Start
feature.
To turn the Pulse feature off, just press the “OFF”
pad. The Blender is now ready for Continuous
Operation.
