Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe Parts: The pitcher, lids, and blade assemblies are BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Hand Washing: For best results, wash components in warm, soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Exercise caution when handling blade assemblies as they are sharp.
• Motor Base: Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
• Quick Clean: For a quick clean, fill the pitcher with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Run the blender on a low setting for a few seconds, then rinse.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your blender, refer to the following common solutions:

• Blender Does Not Turn On: Ensure the pitcher or single-serve cup is securely locked onto the motor base. The safety interlock system prevents operation if not properly assembled. Check that the power cord is firmly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Ingredients Not Blending Smoothly: Reduce the amount of ingredients in the container. Add more liquid if the mixture is too thick. Use the Pulse function to break down larger pieces before continuous 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 resuming use. Reduce load or blending time.
• Lid Not Sealing: Ensure the lid is correctly aligned and pressed down firmly until it clicks into place. The handle must be fully engaged for the blender to operate.
