Unplug Blender, remove Jar from Base, and then inspect Jar and cutter assembly
for wear, nicks, and broken or loose blades. Replace if necessary. If blades are
loose, discontinue use immediately and replace blades. Do not attempt to repair
or tighten cutter assembly. See "Technical Services."
Unplug Blender, and then inspect power cord insulation and power plug for
cracks. See "Technical Services."
Replace Jar as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or broken or loose blades.
See "Technical Services."
Solution
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electrical outlet.
• Check to see if fuse for electrical outlet has blown or if a circuit breaker
has tripped.
• If motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow unit to
cool down for 15 minutes. Plug Blender back in after 15 minutes to resume
normal operation.
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to ingredients. Mixture should be
fluid and free-running at all times.
• Solid pieces are too large. Pieces should not exceed 1" (25-mm) cubes.
• Jar is too full. Do not fill past highest graduation marking.
• Blades are not sharp or are damaged. Inspect Jar and cutter assembly daily.
Replace Jar and cutter assembly as needed if inspection finds wear, nicks, or
broken or loose blades. See "Technical Services."
• Check to see if cutter assembly is installed properly.
• Select speed to create a fluid blend.
4. Replace Lid on Jar and run Blender on HIGH (2)
speed for 2 minutes.
5. Repeat Step 3 using clean rinse water
(95°F/35°C).
6. Wipe down Jar and Lid with a soft cloth
or sponge, dampened with fresh washing
solution.
7. Wipe Base with a damp cloth or sponge.
Base contains electrical components; do not
immerse in water. Do not use a high-pressure
washer or use a dishwasher to clean Base.
