TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Solution
If Blender fails to start: Check to see if the Blender is securely plugged into an earthed electrical outlet.
If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure the circuit is closed. Try unplugging the Blender, then plug it back into an earthed electrical outlet.
If Blender stops while blending: The Blender becomes overloaded or jammed. It will automatically shut off to prevent damage to the motor. Unplug the power cord. Remove the Blender Jar from the base and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the Blender Jar.
The Blender is overloaded, divide contents into smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding liquid to the Blender Jar may also reduce the load on the Blender.
If Blender stops while blending with Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar: Unplug the power cord. Remove the Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar from the base with the Blade Assembly. Shake it a little bit. Place it back on the base, and then plug and turn the Blender back on to continue regular use.
If the problem cannot be corrected: See the “Warranty and Service” sections. Contact an Authorised Service Centre for assistance.
Do not return the Blender to the retailer – retailers do not provide service.
