Solution
If the jar is used for grinding dry ingredients, the jar
wall will be scratched and become cloudy. There is no
negative impact on the blending performance and no
food safety concern. It is still safe to use.
Due to the high speed motor, the friction of blade will
make the ingredients warm. It is normal. To obtain a
cool smoothie, you can add ice cubes or frozen fruits.
The overheat warning LED (thermometer icon) lights
up when the blender is overloaded. If the blender
continues working with heavy load, the message "Hot"
displays when it is fully overloaded. The blender will
automatically stop working.
Note: if the temperature of the appliance is too high or
the appliance is overused, the message "Hot" displays
directly and the blender will also stop working.
To reset your blender in case of overload and auto
stop protection, follow the steps below:
Switch off the blender and then unplug it.
1
Remove some of the ingredients to reduce the load.

Allow the appliance to cool down for 30 minutes.
