Control Panel Functions:

• POWER: Turns the blender on or off.
• PULSE: Provides short bursts of blending for controlled chopping and mixing.
• LOW: Continuous low-speed blending for lighter ingredients.
• AUTO IQ SMOOTHIE: A pre-programmed setting that automatically blends ingredients to a perfect smoothie consistency. The blender senses the load and adjusts power and timing.
• HIGH: Continuous high-speed blending for tougher ingredients and faster processing.

General Blending Tips:

• Always add liquids first, then soft ingredients, followed by hard ingredients and ice.
• Do not overfill the pitcher beyond the MAX LIQUID line.
• For best results with frozen ingredients, use the PULSE function initially to break them down before continuous blending.

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your blender.

Cleaning Steps:

1. Unplug the Blender: Always unplug the motor base before cleaning.
2. Remove Components: Press the release button on the lid handle to open it, then lift the lid off. Twist the pitcher counter-clockwise to unlock it from the motor base and lift it off. Carefully remove the stacked blade assembly from the pitcher.
3. Wash Parts: The pitcher, lid, and blade assembly are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them in warm, soapy water. Use caution when handling the blades as they are very sharp.
4. Clean Motor Base: Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water.
5. Reassemble: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

Troubleshooting

If your blender is not operating as expected, please check the following:

• Blender Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify that the pitcher and lid are correctly assembled and locked into place. The blender has safety features that prevent operation if components are not properly secured.
• Ingredients Not Blending Smoothly: Check if the pitcher is overfilled. Reduce the amount of ingredients if necessary. For tough or frozen ingredients, use the PULSE function to break them down before using continuous blend settings. Ensure there is enough liquid to facilitate blending.
• Motor Overheating: If the motor stops unexpectedly, it may be due to overheating. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Reduce the load or blending time to prevent future overheating.
