IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in fire and/or serious injury.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the Personal Blender Base, USB Adapter, USB Cable, or Battery in water or other liquids.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Turn the appliance off, remove the Battery when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Do not attempt to override the safety interlock mechanisms.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged Battery or, charger, or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the
   nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the Blender. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the Blender is not running.
8. Blades are sharp. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying the jar, and during cleaning.
9. Always operate the Blender with the cover in place.
10. Never leave the appliance unattended while it is in operation.
11. Risk of thermal burn injury due to excessive pressure in the Blender Jar. Do not blend hot liquids.
12. The use of accessories/attachments, including canning Jars, not recommended or sold by KitchenAid, may cause a risk of fire or injury to persons.
13. Refer to the “Care and Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning the surfaces in contact with food.
14. Disconnect the Battery from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
15. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the “off” position before connecting to the battery, picking up, or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing an appliance with the switch on invites accidents.
16. Recharge only with the USB Adapter specified by KitchenAid. A USB Adapter that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
17. Use appliances only with the KitchenAid 12 V Battery. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of injury and fire.
18. When the Battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, which can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the Battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
19. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the Battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the Battery may cause irritation or burns.
20. Do not use a Battery or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
21. Do not expose a Battery or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause an explosion.
22. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the Battery or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the Battery and increase the risk of fire.
23. Use only a UL-listed ITE/Class 2 USB source to charge this device. Use of any non-UL-listed USB sources may create a risk of fire.
24. Never service a damaged Battery. Service of the battery should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
25. Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
26. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
27. Do not use the Personal Blender in rain or wet conditions. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
28. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the Battery (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

GETTING STARTED

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Charge the Battery until it is fully charged.
2. Clean all the parts and accessories (see “Care and Cleaning” section).
3. Remove all packaging materials, if present.
   NOTE: Some dust may be on the product. This is due to the recycled materials used in packaging. This can be cleaned with a soft towel.

BATTERY CHARGING

USING THE USB CABLE

• = ON
• = OFF
• = FLASH

NOTE: When the Battery is installed or when the appliance is operated, the Battery charge status LEDs will display for 5 seconds and then turn off. If the Battery charge is 10% or less, the indicator light will continue to flash until the unit is no longer in use or the battery is removed.

NOTE: It is best to store the Cordless Personal Blender at room temperature.

PRODUCT USAGE

PREPARING THE BLENDER FOR USE

Before using your Blender for the first time, wipe the Blender Base with a warm, damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. Wash Blender Jar, Lid, in warm, sudsy water (see “Care and Cleaning” section). Rinse parts and wipe dry. Be sure the countertop beneath the Blender and the surrounding areas are dry and clean.

IMPORTANT: When moving your Blender, always support/lift from the Blender Base. The Base might disengage from Jar if carried by the Jar only.

USING THE BLENDER

1. Ensure that the Battery is installed on the Base.
2. Place ingredients into the blending Jar. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. For best results, always put the hardest ingredients into the Jar first (frozen fruit) and finish with softer ingredients and liquids.
   IMPORTANT: Do not run Blender when the Jar is empty.
3. Install the Blade Assembly with the blade facing downwards into the Jar. Twist the Blade Assembly clockwise (right) until tightened.
   NOTE: Make sure the seal between the Blade Assembly and the jar is in place. Do not operate without a seal.
4. Ensure that the motor Base is sitting on a clean, dry surface. Place the blending Jar onto the motor Base with the Blade Assembly at the bottom and turn to lock into place. The Jar is securely in place when a click sound is heard. Always ensure it is locked into place before using the Blender. If the Blade Assembly and Jar are not properly attached, the Blender will not operate.
5. To operate, press the ON/OFFbutton once. The LED light will display, and the motor will start. Press the ON/OFFbutton again to turn the unit off.
   NOTE: The ON/OFFbutton is a pre-programmed function. The unit will run for one minute before turning off automatically.
6. To pulse the Blender, press the Pulse (P) button, the LED light will display and the motor will start. Release the button again to turn the unit off.
7. Once the ingredients are blended, remove the blending Jar from the Base by twisting the Blending Jar counterclockwise (left) to unlock.
   IMPORTANT: Do not try to remove the blending Jar while the motor is still running. Do not press down the jar during removal from base.
8. Place the blending Jar upright on the surface with the black Blade Assembly at the top. Twist the black Blade Assembly counterclockwise (left) to remove.
9. To attach the Travel Lid, twist clockwise (right) until the Lid is secured. Ensure the drinking cap is closed before placing in any bag.

IMPORTANT: Do not press down on the Jar when removing the Jar assembly from the Blender Base.

NOTE: The Personal Blender is not intended to crush ice. See icy drink recipes for correct use.
