PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Make sure that the main power RESET/OFF button is in
the RESET (I) position.
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electrical
outlet of the proper voltage and frequency.
• Check to see if the fuse for the electrical outlet has blown
or if a circuit breaker has tripped.
• This blender is equipped with motor overload protection.
If the motor stops during operation due to overheating,
unplug and allow the blender to cool down. Plug blender
back in after 7 to 10 minutes.
• Run blender on high speed for 1 minute; then resume
normal operation.
• Mixture in blender is too heavy of a load on the
motor. This blender is programmed to stop running to
protect itself from electrical damage. Remove some of
the ingredients from the blender jar. Turn VARIABLE
SPEED DIAL to 1 and press the START/STOP Switch to
continue to process in MANUAL mode. Increase speed as
necessary. If this issue happens again, remove more of
the blender mixture and start the process again.
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to the
ingredients. Mixture should be fluid and free-running at
all times.
• Solid pieces are too large.
• Container is too full. Do not fill past highest (8 cups/1.9 L)
graduation marking.
• Cutter assembly blades are not sharp or are damaged.
Inspect container and cutter assembly daily.
• Select speed to create a fluid blend.
• Turn off blender and allow unit to cool.
• Although motors are tested during the manufacturing
process, heavy use may cause curing of motor windings.
The smell may quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses.
• If smell continues after additional heavy uses, call our
customer care center.
• Monitor the problem and source. This may indicate an
issue with the jar bearings.
• Call our customer care center if the condition persists.
• Some cloudiness may be natural after use. The minerals
from fruits, produce, and leafy greens, in addition to the
oils of various nut butters, can sometimes cause a film on
the blender jar or may be difficult to clean.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup (59 ml) baking soda in blender. Add 1
cup (237 ml) white vinegar. Mixture will bubble. When
bubbling subsides, add 2 cups (473 ml) water and blend
on the SOUP cycle. Wash any remaining residue with dish
soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
