USING THE POWER PITCHER
& STACKED BLADE ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on
pages 4–7 before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: As a safety feature, when
the unit is powered on, if the pitcher and
lid are not properly installed, the timer
will display "- -" and the motor will be
disabled. If this happens, repeat step 5
on the following page. When the pitcher
and lid are properly installed, and the unit
is powered on, the program button LEDs
will illuminate, indicating the appliance is
ready to use.
NOTE: Auto-iQ® programs have pauses and
changes in speed throughout the cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT add ingredients before
completing installation of the Stacked
Blade Assembly.
NOTE: If the Stacked Blade Assembly is
not fully seated, you will not be able to
install and lock the lid.
NOTE: The pitcher lid handle will not fold
down unless it is attached to the pitcher.
1 Plug in motor base and place on a clean,
dry, level surface such as a countertop
or table.
2 Lower the Power Pitcher onto the motor
base. The handle should be aligned
slightly to the right and the pitcher
should be oriented so the LOCK symbols
are visible on the motor base. Rotate the
pitcher clockwise until it clicks into place.

3 Exercising care, grasp the Stacked Blade
Assembly by the top of the shaft and
place it onto the drive gear inside the
pitcher. Note that the blade assembly
will fit loosely onto the drive gear.

add ingredients past the MAX LIQUID
line on the pitcher.
5 Place the lid on the pitcher. Press down on
the handle until it clicks into place. Once
the lid is locked in place, press the Power
button to turn unit on. The available
program buttons will illuminate and the
unit will be ready for use.
6a If using an Auto-iQ® program, use the dial
to select the program that best suits your
desired output, then press START/STOP.
The preset feature will automatically stop
at the end of the program. To stop the unit
at any time, press START/STOP.
6b For Manual mode, press IQ/MANUAL.
Use the dial to select your desired
speed, ranging from 1 to 10, and press
START/STOP. Once the ingredients have
reached your desired consistency, press
START/STOP, and wait for the unit to
come to a complete stop.
7 Remove the pitcher from the motor base
by turning it counterclockwise and then
lifting up.
8a To pour out thinner mixtures, ensure the
lid is locked in place, then open the pour
spout cap.
8b For thicker mixtures that cannot be
emptied through the pour spout, remove
the lid and Stacked Blade Assembly before
pouring. To remove the lid, press the
RELEASE button and lift the handle. To
remove the blade assembly, carefully grasp
it by the top of the shaft and pull straight
up. The pitcher can then be emptied.
