Lid/Hybrid EdgeTM Blades Assembly is hard to install on the cup. · Set the cup on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or Hybrid Edge Blades Assembly on the top
of the cup and align the threads so the lid/Hybrid Edge Blades Assembly sits flat on the cup. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.
Unit doesn’t mix well; ingredients get stuck. · Using the BlendSense program 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. · When filling the cup, start with liquids or yogurt, followed by fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs. Next add seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.
Motor base won’t stick to counter or tabletop. · Make sure surface and suction feet are wiped clean.
