KitchenAid KSB465 Instructions page 8

This blender was built and tested to
KitchenAid quality standards for optimum
performance and long, trouble-free life.
Robust Motor
Rugged motor supplies the power for
superb performance with all blending
tasks – from pureeing sauces to making
chunky salsas, or uniformly chopping a
tray 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.
Shatter-Resistant Pitcher
Clear, one-piece 48 oz (1.5 L)
capacity pitcher is shatter
resistant, scratch resistant, and
stain resistant. Comfort-designed
handle offers a firm grip.
Patented Stainless Steel Blade
Sharp oversized blade tines are positioned
on 4 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
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, MIX, PUREE, and LIQUEFY.
The PULSE MODE works with all four
speeds. The CHOP ICE mode is designed
specifically for chopping 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 Cup
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) cup for
convenience in measuring and adding
ingredients.
Die-Cast Metal Base
Solid, 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, non-
marring grip. Smooth and rounded, the
base is easy to clean and features tidy cord
storage underneath.
