Troubleshooting
Motor doesn’t start or
blade doesn’t rotate
•
Check the blender jug and lid are securely in place.
•
Check the ON | OFF button and selected function button is illuminated.
•
Check that the power plug is properly inserted into the power outlet.
Food is unevenly
chopped
•
This can happen when too much food is being blended at one time. Try a
smaller amount, and work in batches if necessary.
•
The ingredients may be too large. Try cutting into smaller pieces. For best
results, ingredients should be in pieces no larger than ¾inch (2cm).
Food is chopped too
fine or is watery
•
Try blending for shorter period of time. Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH function
for better control.
Food sticks to
blade and jug
•
The mixture may be too thick. Try adding more liquid and/or using a slower
speed for blending.
Blender overloaded
•
This blender has a motor protection feature to protect against over heating
and/or over current use. When activated OVERLOAD PROTECTION will
flash on the LCD and the blender will be inoperable.
•
If activated, turn the blender off by pressing the ON | OFF button on the
control panel, and unplug the blender. Wait a few minutes then re-plug and
power ON the blender.
•
If OVERLOAD PROTECTION is still flashing, repeat and leave the
blender for at least 20-30 minutes. Once OVERLOAD PROTECTION has
disappeared from the screen the blender is ready to be used again.
•
We recommend blending in smaller batches, or cutting ingredients into
smaller pieces.
