12. Unplug charger when not in use. Remove battery from unplugged charger. Storing the battery
in an unplugged charger will drain the battery over time.
13. To protect against risk of electrical shock, always unplug charger before cleaning or
maintenance. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to protect against shock hazards.
14. Do not use a charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or damaged in any way.
15. Do not disassemble. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electrical shock, fire, or
exposure personal injury. If the charger is damaged, the KitchenAid Li-Ion charger has no
serviceable parts.
16. Store your charger in a cool, dry place.

Charging the battery
IMPorTanT: New batteries must be charged before first use.
When to charge the battery
Remove the battery from the KitchenAid cordless appliance for charging when convenient for
you, anytime battery indicator lights show less than 25% battery life remaining (ie. only one light
remaining in the battery indicator bar), or when battery has been completely drained.
Batteries do not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not
necessary to run down the battery before placing it on the charger.
• Use the charge indicator bar on the KitchenAid cordless appliance to determine
when to charge your Li-Ion battery.
• You can "top-off" your battery's charge before starting a long session of use.
• Charge the battery as needed. The only time it is necessary to charge the Li-Ion battery is when
the battery has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of the charge, the KitchenAid
Cordless appliance will no longer display any lights in the battery indicator bar after the unit is
unlocked or the battery is first inserted into the cordless appliance.
how to charge the battery
Align the flat side of the battery with the flat side of the portal in the bay and slide the battery
into the charger as far as possible. The charging indicator light will come on, and will either
flash slowly (battery is charging), flash rapidly in three (3) consecutive repeating bursts (battery
error), or light will remain continuously on (battery is fully charged and is ready for use).
• A fully discharged battery with an internal temperature in the normal range (between
0° C and 60° C) will charge in about 3 hours. Frequently used batteries may take longer
to charge completely.
• After charging is complete, a continuous light will display.
• The charger will keep the battery fully charged if it is left on the charger.
• If the light indicator flashes rapidly in three (3) consecutive, repeating bursts, check that the
battery is fully seated in the bay. Remove the battery and reinsert. If the light continues to flash
rapidly, the battery may be extremely hot, cold, wet, or damaged. Allow the battery to cool
down, warm up, or dry out and then reinsert. If the problem persists, please contact KitchenAid.
• If the indicator light does not come on, check that the battery is fully seated in the bay. Remove
the battery and reinsert. If the light indicator still does not come on, please contact KitchenAid.
Charging a hot or cold battery
A rapidly flashing indicator light on the charger may indicate that the battery temperature is
outside the charging range. Once the battery is within the acceptable range, normal charging
will take place and the indicator light will display a slower continuous flash if the battery needs
charging or display a continuous light if the battery is fully charged. Very warm or cold batteries
may take longer to charge.
