Step-less Speed Knob
The central knob allows you to adjust the blending speed from minimum (MIN) to maximum (MAX) for various food hardness levels.
- With ingredients in the jar and the lid secured, turn the knob clockwise from the "OFF" position to your desired speed.
- Adjust the speed as needed during blending.
- To stop blending, turn the knob counter-clockwise back to the "OFF" position.
Function Buttons
Below the speed knob are three pre-programmed function buttons:
- Fruit Button: Ideal for blending soft fruits and vegetables into smooth purees or drinks.
- Pulse/Clean Button: Provides short bursts of power for chopping or for the self-cleaning function.
- Ice Crush Button: Specifically designed to crush ice and frozen fruits efficiently.
To use a function button, simply press the desired button. The blender will operate according to the pre-set program for that function. Press the button again or turn the speed knob to "OFF" to stop.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blender does not turn on. | Not plugged in; glass jar not properly seated; safety lock not engaged. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Rotate the glass jar clockwise until it clicks into place and the safety lock engages. |
| Ingredients are not blending smoothly or blades are stuck. | Too many ingredients; not enough liquid; ingredients are too large or hard. | Reduce the amount of ingredients. Add more liquid. Cut larger ingredients into smaller pieces. Use the Pulse function to break up stubborn ingredients. |
| Blender emits a burning smell or smoke. | Overloading the motor; prolonged continuous operation. | Immediately turn off and unplug the blender. Allow the motor to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes. Reduce the load and try again. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Loud noise during operation. | Improper assembly; hard ingredients; worn parts. | Ensure the jar and lid are correctly assembled. Hard ingredients like ice will naturally create more noise. If the noise is unusual or excessive, inspect for loose or damaged parts. |
