TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

⚠️WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, unplug unit before troubleshooting.

• Ensure the unit is not charging when troubleshooting. Ensure the unit is fully charged and vessel is properly aligned.
• Control panel doesn't turn off. Press and hold the Button to turn the cordless blender ON and OFF.
• Doesn't mix well; ingredients get stuck. When filling the vessel, start with liquid to the MIN LIQUID line, then fresh fruit or veggies, followed by leafy greens or herbs. Add your seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finish with ice or frozen ingredients. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help. Ensure you have filled the vessel to or above the MIN LIQUID line. You can also shake the blender while blending or turn the blender upside down, start a blend cycle, and turn it right side up to move ingredients while blending.
• Sip lid is hard to assemble on the vessel. Set the assembled motor base and vessel on a level surface. Carefully place the sip lid on the top of the vessel and align the threads so the sip lid sits flat. Turn clockwise until you have a tight seal.
• Vessel is hard to assemble on the motor base. Set the motor base on a level surface. Place the vessel on the top of the motor base and align the threads so the vessel sits flat. Turn clockwise until you have a tight seal. The LEDs on the display will be solid purple when the vessel is properly installed.
