5. Operating Instructions
Once assembled, your Mayer MMPB600 Personal Blender is ready for use:

- Start Blending: Press the power button located on the blender base unit to start blending. The blender operates at a single speed.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Mayer MMPB600 Personal Blender, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
