- Self-Clean Function: For quick cleaning of the main jug, add warm water and a drop of dish soap, then use the "Pulse" function for a few seconds. Rinse thoroughly.
- Manual Cleaning: Disassemble all removable parts. Wash with warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Be extremely careful when handling the sharp blades.
- Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
Storage:
Store the blender in a clean, dry place. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; container not properly assembled or seated; overload protection activated. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the jug/cup and blade assembly are correctly aligned and locked onto the motor base. If motor stopped due to overload, unplug and let cool for 15 minutes. |
| Ingredients are not blending smoothly. | Too little liquid; ingredients are too large or too dense; air pocket around blades. | Add more liquid. Cut ingredients into smaller pieces. Use the Pulse function or stop the blender, remove the lid, and use a spatula to redistribute ingredients. |
| Motor smells burnt during operation. | Overload; new motor smell. | If it's a new blender, a slight odor is normal during initial uses. If the smell is strong or persistent, unplug the unit immediately. This indicates an overload. Let the unit cool down for 15 minutes before attempting to use again with fewer ingredients or more liquid. |
| Loud noise or vibration. | Container not seated properly; hard ingredients. | Ensure the blending container is securely locked onto the motor base. Reduce the amount of hard ingredients or add more liquid. |
