Charging The Battery - KitchenAid W10533410 Quick Manual

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.
