and-loop fastener near the back of the
motor base. DO NOT wrap the cord around
the bottom of the base for storage.
DO NOT store blended or unblended
ingredients in the cup or bowl with the blade
assembly attached. Use only the spout
lid or storage lid when storing blended or
unblended ingredients in the containers.
DO NOT stack items on top of the containers.
Store any remaining attachments alongside
the unit or in a cabinet where they will not be
damaged or create a hazard.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, unplug unit
before troubleshooting�
Control panel does not illuminate�
• Make sure unit is plugged in. If the unit is powered on and no container is installed, the
unit will display '- -'. The available programs will illuminate after placing a container on
base and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place.

display with flash '- -'. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the unit remains
plugged in, the display will time out after 3 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to

Doesn't mix well; ingredients get stuck�
• Using the Auto-iQ® programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses
and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly. If ingredients
are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
• When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs.
Next add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finally, add ice or
frozen ingredients.
• If using the Power Nutri™ Bowl, during the blending process twist the Power Paddle
counterclockwise continuously to circulate ingredients.
Unit moves on counter while blending�
• Make sure the counter and feet of the unit are clean and dry.
Lid or Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly is hard to install on the container�
• Set the container on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or blade assembly on the
top of the container and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat. Twist
clockwise until you have a tight seal.
