KitchenAid KSB1575CL Use & Care Manual

 
• If you’re making beverages using ice,  

start with CRUSH ICE, then finish with 

Speed 5 LIQUIFY in order to produce a 

smoother texture. 

• Ice directly from the freezer will crush 

better than partially melted ice for snow.

• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or 

crushed faster than large ones.

• For many ingredient mixtures, start  

the blending process at STIR to thoroughly 

combine the ingredients. Then increase  

to a higher speed, as desired.

• If desired, remove center ingredient cup  

of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes 

while the Blender is operating at STIR,  

CHOP, or MIX speeds.

• Stop the Blender before using utensils  

in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to mix 

ingredients only when the Blender is off. 

Never use any utensil, including spatulas,  

in the pitcher while the motor is running.

• Cool hot foods, if possible, before 

blending. Begin blending warm foods  

at STIR. Increase to higher speeds, one at 

a time, if necessary.

• When blending hot foods or liquids, do not 

fill the blender pitcher to the top. Secure 

the lid, remove the center ingredient cup, 

and place a towel over the lid. Operate 

only on STIR speed. Do not place bare 

hand on pitcher lid when processing hot 

foods or liquids.

Dissolve flavor_ed gelatin: Pour boiling 

water into the pitcher; add gelatin. Remove  

center ingredient cup, and place a towel
