If the blender does not operate when switched on:
– Check to see if the blender is plugged into a grounded
3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the blender, then plug it into the
same outlet again. If the blender still does not work, check the fuse
or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the blender is connected
to and make sure the circuit is closed.
– The blender may be jammed or overheated. Move the On/Off/Pulse
Switch to the "Off" position and refer to the troubleshooting
instructions in the remainder of this section.

If the blender stops while blending:
– The blender may be jammed. If a foreign object or blender
ingredients jam the blades, the blender will shut off to prevent
damage to the motor. Move the On/Off/Pulse Switch to the
"Off" position to reset the blender. Remove the jar from the
base and free the blades by breaking-up or removing the
contents at the bottom of the jar.
On the Chef's Blender, the high speed
indicator light will flash when the blender is
jammed or overheated.
TROUBLESHOOTING
– The blender may be overheated. If the motor exceeds a certain
temperature, the thermal safeguard will engage to prevent damage.
This may happen when blending multiple jars of heavy ingredients
for a prolonged period. Move the On/Off/Pulse Switch to the "Off"
position. The thermal safeguard will prevent the blender from
running until it is cool enough to operate safely. Let the blender cool
for 30 minutes, then resume blending. If the blender does not start,
move the On/Off/Pulse Switch back to the "Off" position and let the
blender cool for an additional 30 minutes.
On the Chef's Blender, the high speed
indicator light will flash when the blender is
overheated or jammed.
– The blender may be overloaded. If the blender slows excessively
when blending heavy ingredients, it will shut off to prevent
damage. Move the On/Off/Pulse Switch to the "Off" position to
reset the blender. Remove the jar from the base and divide the
jar contents into smaller batches. Adding liquid to the jar may
also reduce the load on the blender.
On the Chef's Blender, the low speed
indicator light will flash when the blender is
overloaded.
