KitchenAid KSB560BF Use & Care Guide - Page 10

ENGLISH Blender Features This Blender was built and tested to KitchenAid quality standards for optimum performance and long, trouble-free life. Robust Motor Rugged 0.9-horsepower motor supplies the power for superb performance with all blending tasks - from pureeing sauces to making chunky salsas, or uniformly crushing a pitcher of ice or frozen fruit within seconds for silky smoothies. Easy clean, One-Piece Pitcher Design One-piece design integrates a functional pitcher with dynamic interior contours that continually directs food into the blade for fast, thorough blending. The one-piece design also means cleaning is achieved without removing the blade and other parts. Pitcher stands up to extreme temperatures - from boiling soups to frozen margaritas and has a wide pour spout to ensure smooth pouring. Pitcher is dishwasher safe. Pitcher [Models KSB560 and KSB580] One-piece 56 oz. (1.75 L) capacity clear, pitcher is shatter resistant, scratch resistant, and stain resistant. Pitcher handle features soft inner-grip for firm, comfortable, no-slip control. Patented Stainless Steel Blade Sharp oversized blade tines are positioned on four different planes for fast, thorough, and consistent blending. Our durable blade design is built into the pitcher for easy handling and cleaning. Intelli-Speed™ Motor Control Exclusive Intelli-Speed™ control automatically works to keep speed constant - even through density changes when ingredients are added. This advanced KitchenAid design maintains an optimal blending speed for each culinary task and control-pad setting. Speed Selection Buttons Create frozen drinks and puree sauces or soups in seconds. Blend with confidence, control, and consistency at all speed settings: STIR, CHOP, MIX, PUREE, and LIQUEFY. The PULSE MODE works with all five speeds. The CRUSH ICE mode is designed specifically for crushing ice and will automatically pulse at staggered intervals for optimal results. Soft Start™ Feature The Blender motor starts at a slower speed to pull food into the blade then quickly increases to selected speed setting. This design feature reduces start-up kick and allows hands-free operation. Clean Touch™ Control Pad Wipes clean in an instant. Smooth control pad has no crevices or cracks to trap ingredients. Durable Steel-Reinforced Couplers Commercial-quality couplers with 12 interlocking teeth provide direct transfer of motor power to the blade. Pitcher coupler is coated for quiet operation. Stay-Put Lid with Clear, 2 oz. (60 mL) Ingredient Cap Provides a strong seal. The flexible lid will maintain its tight seal throughout the life of the Blender. The lid includes a removable 2 oz. (60 mL) cap for convenience in measuring and adding ingredients. Die-Cast Metal Base Heavy, die-cast metal base ensures stable, quiet operation when blending a full pitcher of ingredients. Four rubber feet on wide, solid base provide a no-slip, nonmarring grip. Smooth and rounded, the base is easy to clean and features tidy cord storage underneath. 7
