1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove the pitcher’s lid and blade assembly. Empty the pitcher and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly.
   IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, Turn the power off and unplug the unit before troubleshooting. The display reads”- -“.

• If the display reads”–“, install the pitcher and the available program buttons will illuminate, indicating the unit is ready for use. Ensure the lid is fully engaged and the pitcher has been rotated clockwise and clicked to lock into place.
• The display reads “E2”.
• If the display reads “E2” unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the blade assembly and empty the contents to ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly. If the output is too thick and the ingredients are not processing properly, add more liquid. Blade speed sometimes changes when blending thinner ingredients.
• When using speed 9 or 10 with the Power Pitcher, you may notice a change in the blade speed when blending thinner ingredients. This is due to the smart technology in the blender and is part of the unit’s normal operation.
• The unit doesn’t mix well; Ingredients get stuck.
• Using the Auto-iQ~ programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly.
• If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help p.
• The unit moves on the counter while blending.
• Make sure the surface and feet of the unit are clean and dry.
• Food Is not evenly chopped.
• For best results when chopping, cut pieces of ingredients in a uniform size and don’t overfill the Power Pitcher.
• The pitcher lid handle will not fold down.
• If not attached to the pitcher, the handle will not fold down. For storage, place the lid on the pitcher and press down on the handle until it clicks into place. Align the pour spout on the lid with the corner farthest from the pitcher handle, then press down to lock it in place.
