KitchenAid KSB540 User Manual

5

This blender was built and tested to 

KitchenAid quality standards for optimum 

performance and long, trouble-free life.

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.

One-piece design integrates a functional 

pitcher with dynamic interior contours 

that continually direct 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. 

One-piece 56 oz (1.75 L) 

capacity, clear, polycarbonate 

pitcher is shatter resistant, 

scratch resistant, and stain 

resistant. Pitcher’s handle 

features soft inner grip for firm, 

comfortable, no-slip control.

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.

Create frozen drinks and puree sauces or 

soups in seconds. Blend with confidence, 

control, and consistency at all settings: 

LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. The PULSE 

button gives added control for jobs that 

require short, quick bursts or longer bursts 

of power.

Wipes clean in an instant. Smooth control 

pad has no crevices or cracks to trap 

ingredients.

Commercial-quality couplers with 

12 interlocking teeth provide direct 

transfer of motor power to the blade. 

Pitcher coupler is coated for quiet 

operation.

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.

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, 

non-marring grip. Smooth and rounded, 

the base is easy to clean and features 

convenient cord storage underneath.
