Cleaning the Glass Jar and Blades

Cleaning the Motor Base

• Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.

Troubleshooting

• Blender does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the glass jar is correctly seated and clicked into the motor base.
• Ingredients are not blending smoothly: Add more liquid. Use the Pulse function to break up larger pieces. Ensure ingredients are cut into appropriate sizes.
