Troubleshooting

Check to see if the Blender is plugged
into an outlet. If it is, press "O", then
unplug the Blender. Plug it back in to the
same outlet. 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 overloaded. If the
Blender becomes overloaded when
blending heavy ingredients, it will
automatically shut off to prevent damage
to the motor. Press "O" to reset the Blender
and unplug the power cord. Remove the
pitcher assembly from the base and divide
contents into smaller batches. Adding
liquid to the pitcher may also reduce the
load on the Blender.
The Blender may be jammed. If it's
jammed, the Blender will stop running
to prevent damage to the motor. Press
"O" to reset the Blender and unplug
the power cord. Remove the pitcher
assembly from the base and with a
scraper, free the blades by breaking-up or
removing the contents at the bottom of
the pitcher.
