Electrical Requirements
Volts: 120 A.C. only.
Hertz: 60
Grounding, 3-prong system.
15-amp branch circuit.
NOTE: Your blender has a
3-prong grounded plug. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, this plug
will fit in an outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit in the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
If your blender should
malfunction or fail to operate,
please check the following:
1. Is the blender plugged in?
2. Is the fuse in the circuit to the
blender in working order? If you
have a circuit breaker box, be sure
the circuit is closed.
3. Try unplugging and waiting 15-20
minutes before re-plugging the
blender.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the above steps, see the
KitchenAid Warranty on page 3.
Do not return the mixer to the
retailer – they do not provide service.

Assembling Your Blender
1. Before assembling your blender
wipe blender base with a warm
sudsy cloth, then wipe clean with
a damp cloth. Dry with a soft
cloth. Wash blender jar, lid, collar
and blades in warm, sudsy water.
Rinse and wipe parts dry.
2. Turn blender jar upside down.
Place the small sealing ring on the
blade assembly.
3. Place the blade assembly with the
sealing ring in the bottom opening
of the jar.
4. Twist collar onto jar. Be sure to
engage threads properly and

8
6. Coil the power cord into the
storage area on the bottom of the
power base to shorten.
7. Place jar on power base. 8. Plug into a grounded 3-prong
outlet. Blender is now ready
to use.
9. Before removing the jar from the
base after use, always push the
OFF pad and make sure the
blinking red light is off, then
unplug. Lift the jar straight up,
with the collar attached, do not
twist. Do not unscrew the glass jar
from the collar until you are ready
to remove the blade assembly.
Loosening the collar with liquids
inside the jar will cause them to
leak out.
