Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power button not pressed correctly; attachment not securely locked. | Ensure the blender is securely plugged into a working outlet. Press and hold the power button firmly. Check that the attachment is correctly assembled and locked into the motor unit. |
