5. Care and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your KitchenAid Diamond Blender.

1. Immediate Cleaning: After each use, rinse the pitcher, lid, and blade assembly immediately to prevent food from drying and sticking.
2. Dishwasher Safe Parts: The BPA-Free Diamond Pitcher, lid, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
3. Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water. Use a brush to clean around the blades carefully. The unique design allows for easy disassembly of the blade and gasket from the pitcher base for thorough cleaning.
4. Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
5. Thorough Cleaning: Periodically, or if spills occur, detach the blade assembly from the pitcher base by twisting. Remove the rubber gasket and clean all components individually. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.

6. Troubleshooting

If your KitchenAid KSB1575CB Diamond Blender is not operating as expected, consider the following common issues:

• Blender Not Starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Verify that the pitcher is correctly seated on the motor base and the lid is properly closed. The blender has safety features that prevent operation if components are not correctly assembled.
• Inconsistent Blending: If ingredients are not blending smoothly, ensure you have added sufficient liquid. For thick mixtures, use the Pulse function or add more liquid. Avoid overfilling the pitcher.
• Motor Overheating: If the motor stops during operation, it may be due to overheating. Unplug the blender and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to use it again. Reduce the load or add more liquid for future use.
• Loud Noise/Vibration: Check that the pitcher is securely placed on the motor base and the lid is tightly sealed. Ensure no foreign objects are in the pitcher.
