Operating the Torrent™ Blender

Operating the KitchenAid Torrent™ Blender

Before Use

Before operating the blender, make sure the pitcher is properly locked into the Blender base. The Blender will not run if the pitcher and lid are not fully in place. If you pull the Blender out of the base before the Blender stops running, the blade brake will kick in to stop the blades, and the Blender will stop after a few seconds.

The Blender has four pre-set recipe programs: Icy Drinks/Smoothies, Milkshakes, Soups/ Sauces, and Juice. It also features Variable Speed and Pulse selections that allow you to customize your blending for any recipe you make.

  1. Put ingredients in the pitcher. Add liquids first, then soft foods, then ice or frozen fruit last. Do not fill the pitcher beyond the max fill line - especially when using primarily liquids. Put the lid on the pitcher spout first, then push down on the side of the lid near the handle, ensuring that the lid is on straight. The Blender will not work without the lid in place.
