OPERATING THE HAND BLENDER
Before Àrst use: charging the battery
1Plug in the charger.
3Slide the battery into the charger,
aligning the flat side of the battery to the
flat side of the port, and push down to
click into place.
4The LED indicator will begin to flash
slowly and continuously as it charges.
When the battery is fully charged, the
LED will display a continuous light.
NOTE: If the charger quickly flashes three
times after inserting the battery, there is
a battery error. Check that the battery is
placed properly in the charger. If the light
continues to flash rapidly, the battery may be
extremely cold, hot, wet or damaged. Allow
the battery to cool down, warm up or dry
out, then reinsert. If the problem persists,
see the “Service and Warranty” section.
5Charge the battery after each use, when
the battery indicator lights show less
than 25% battery life remaining (only
one light displays on the LED battery
life indicator), or when the battery is
completely drained.
2Push the lid release button to open
the lid.
NOTE: Batteries do not develop a
“memory” when charged after only a partial
discharge. It is not necessary to run down
the battery before placing it on the charger.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Drawing up Wrist
movement
Techniques for better blending and crushing
For better blending: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the container momentarily, then
hold at an angle and using a light circular motion, slowly draw it upwards against the side of the
container. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work. As you
draw up the Hand Blender, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the container rising
up. When the ingredients are no longer rising from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the
bottom of the container and repeat until mixture is at the desired consistency.
For better crushing: Insert Hand Blender
with blending arm attached into the
container. For hard, frozen fruits or ice,
add a small amount of liquid to where the
S-blade is submerged. Remember to stop
the Hand Blender before removing it from
the container to avoid splashing.
TIP: To prevent overÁow, allow room
in the container for the mixture to rise
when blending.
Operating tips
• Cut solid foods into small pieces
for easier blending or chopping.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, press the
UNLOCK button once, then press
the PULSE button. If the unit does not
operate, but shows information on the
battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes
to automatically reset. If the unit does
not display information on the battery
indicator bar, charge the battery. If the
battery is already fully charged, and the
unit fails to operate, contact KitchenAid.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the
heating element to protect the Hand
Blender from overheating.

English
17
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
• For best blending, hold the Hand Blender
at an angle and gently move up and down
within the container. Do not pound down
on the mixture with the Hand Blender.
• To prevent overÁow, allow room in the
container for the mixture to rise when
using the Hand Blender.
• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot
pan on the cooktop while not in use.
• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits
or bones, from the mixture before
blending or chopping to help prevent
damage to the blades.
Operating tips (continued)
• Do not use your Hand Blender to process
coffee beans or hard spices such as
nutmegs. Processing these foods could
damage the blades of the Hand Blender.
• Do not use the pitcher or the chopper
bowl in the microwave oven.
• The stainless steel whisk may scratch or
mark non-stick coatingsavoid using the
whisk in non-stick cookware.
• To prevent splattering, use the whisk
attachment in deep containers or pans.
