HAND BLENDER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
**This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean: You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
WARNING** All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

Read all instructions.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put the motor body, cord, or electrical plug of this Hand Blender in water or other liquid.
This appliance should not be used by children and care should be taken when used near children.
Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contacting moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Be certain the chopper adapter is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let the cord contact hot surfaces, including the stove.
When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
Refer to the “Care and Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning the surfaces in contact with food.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Always disconnect the Hand Blender from the supply if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling, or cleaning. Never leave the appliance unattended while it is in operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only

Models KHB2351
Volts: 120 V.A.C.
Hertz: 60 Hz
Wattage: 220 W

NOTE: Model KHB2351 has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plugin anyway. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

OPERATING YOUR HAND BLENDER

ASSEMBLING THE HAND BLENDER

Before using the KitchenAid Hand Blender for the first time, wipe the motor body and attachment adapters with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Mild dish soap may be used, but do not use abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Do not immerse the motor body or the adapters in water.
Dry with a soft cloth. Wash all the other attachments and accessories by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall socket before attaching or removing attachments.

USING THE BLENDING ARM

Use the blending arm attachment for smoothies, milkshakes, soup, cooked vegetables, frosting, or baby food.

Insert blending arm attachment into the motor body and twist to lock.
Plug the electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.
Set Hand Blender on Speed 1. Adjust the speed by turning the speed control dial on top of the Hand Blender.
Insert the Hand Blender into the mixture.
NOTE: Hand Blender should only be immersed in liquids the length of the attachment. Do not submerge beyond the seam of the blending attachment. Do not immerse the motor body into liquids or other mixtures.
Press the Power button to activate the Hand Blender.
When blending is complete, release the power button before removing Hand Blender from the mixture.
Unplug immediately after use and before removing or changing attachments.

Blending: Insert a Hand Blender with a blending arm attached to the jar containing ingredients at an angle. Use your free hand to cover the top of the blending jar for better stability and to avoid splattering. Remember to stop the Hand Blender before removing it from the jar to avoid splashing.

Drawing up: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the jar momentarily, then hold at an angle and slowly draw it upwards against the side of the jar. As the Hand Blender is drawn up, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the jar being drawn up. When the ingredients are no longer being drawn up from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the bottom of the jar and repeat the process until the ingredients are at the desired consistency.

Wrist movement: Using a light circular motion from your wrist, draw the Hand Blender up slightly and let it fall again into the ingredients. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work.

USING THE WHISK ATTACHMENT

Use the Whisk to whip cream, beat egg whites, mix instant puddings, vinaigrettes, mousse, or for making mayonnaise.

Insert the Whisk into the Whisk Adapter.
Insert the Whisk Adapter into the motor body and twist it to lock until it clicks. The adapter automatically adjusts the whisk to the proper range of speeds appropriate for whipping.
Plug the electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.
Start Hand Blender on Speed 1. Adjust the speed by rotating the Speed Control Dial on top of the Hand Blender.
Insert the Hand Blender into the mixture.
The stainless steel Whisk may scratch or mark non-stick coatings; avoid using the Whisk in non-stick cookware.
NOTE: Hand Blender should only be immersed in liquids the length of the attachment. Do not submerge beyond the seam of the whisk adapter. Do not immerse the motor body into liquids or other mixtures.
To prevent splattering and splash-out, use the Whisk Attachment in deep containers or pans.
Press the Power button to activate the Hand Blender.
When the whisking process is complete, release the Power button before removing the Hand Blender from the mixture.
Unplug immediately after use, before removing or changing attachments.

USING THE CHOPPER ATTACHMENT

WARNING
Cut Hazard Handle blades carefully. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

Use the Chopper attachment to chop small amounts of food such as cooked meat, cheese, vegetables, herbs, crackers, bread, and nuts.

Insert the Chopper blade into the Chopper bowl.
Add small pieces of food to the bowl.
Insert the chopper attachment into the chopper bowl.
Align the Chopper bowl with the motor body and press it together.
Hold the motor body with one hand and the Chopper bowl with the other while processing.
Press the POWER button to activate Hand Blender. For best results, “pulse” the power by pressing and releasing the Power button until ingredients reach the desired consistency.
When chopping is complete, release the Power button.
Remove Motor Body from Chopper adapter.
Unplug immediately after use, before removing or changing attachments.

OPERATING TIPS

Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier blending.
The Hand Blender is equipped with thermal protection from high operating temperatures. Should the Hand Blender suddenly stop during use, unplug it and allow 10 minutes to automatically reset.
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.
For best blending, hold the Hand Blender at an angle and gently move it up and down within the container. Do not pound down on the mixture with the Hand Blender.
To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when using the Hand Blender.
Be sure the extra-long cord of the Hand Blender is not extending over a hot heating element.
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 to help prevent damage to the blades.
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 jar or the chopper bowl in the microwave oven.
The stainless steel whisk may scratch or mar non-stick coatings; avoid using the whisk in non-stick cookware.
To prevent splattering, use the whisk attachment in deep containers or pans.

CARE AND CLEANING

Unplug the Hand Blender before cleaning.
Remove the adapters and attachments by twisting (see “Operating Your Hand Blender” section).
