Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; blending shaft not properly attached. | Ensure the blender is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. Re-attach the blending shaft firmly until it clicks. |
| Ineffective blending or food stuck. | Too much food; food pieces too large; not enough liquid; blades are dull. | Reduce the amount of ingredients. Cut food into smaller pieces. Add more liquid to the mixture. Ensure the blade guard is fully submerged. If blades are dull, contact customer support. |
| Motor smells or overheats. | Overuse; blending very thick mixtures for too long. | Stop operation immediately and unplug the blender. Allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming use. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods. |
