Using the Blender
PULSE Mode
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 (or culinary jar) assembly is
properly positioned on the Blender base.
NOTE: If a gap exists between the
locking collar and the base, the pitcher
(or culinary jar) might not be locked
into the locking collar or the collar is not
positioned properly on the Blender base.
See “Blender Assembly” for further
instructions.
2. Put ingredients into pitcher (or culinary
jar), and firmly attach lid.
3. Press PULSE ( ). 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 “O”. The Blender is now
ready for continuous operation.
6. Before removing the pitcher (or culinary
jar) assembly, unplug the power cord.
Ingredient Cup
The 60 mL ingredient cup can
be used to measure and add
ingredients. Remove cup 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.
IMPORTANT: If blending hot foods or
liquids, remove the center ingredient
cup. Operate only on STIR ( ) speed.
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 “O” (OFF) mode and does not work
with the PULSE ( ) mode or CRUSH ICE
( ) features.
