TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Solution
If the Cordless Hand Blender fails to start: Check if the Cordless Hand Blender is charged.

Charge the battery when the Battery status indicator is red or when the Battery is completed drained.

If the Cordless Hand Blender is not getting charged: If you have a circuit breaker box, check to make sure that the circuit is closed.
 

If the Cordless Hand Blender stops while blending:

When overloaded or jammed, it will automatically shut off to prevent motor damage. Divide contents into smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding liquid in the Jar may also reduce the load.
