CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

   • Hand-Washing
     Wash cups, lids and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with a handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling the blade assembly as the blades are sharp. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.

   • Dishwasher

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.

Unit doesn’t turn on
Make sure unit is plugged in.

• Place cup on base and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.

Unit doesn’t turn off

• Remove cup from base by rotating it anti-clockwise and lifting it. Unplug the power cord from the socket.

Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble

• Place the cup on a level surface with the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so that the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until you have a tight seal.

Doesn’t mix well; ingredients get stuck

• Using the pre-set 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.
• When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs. Next add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.

Motor base won’t stick to worktop or tabletop

• Make sure surface and suction feet are wiped clean. Suction feet will only stick to smooth surfaces.
• Suction feet will not stick on some surfaces such as wood, tile and non-polished finishes.
• DO NOT attempt to use unit when the motor base is stuck to a surface that is not secure (cutting board, platter, plates, etc.).
• Unit is difficult to remove from worktop for storage
• Place your hands underneath both sides of the motor base and gently pull the unit up and toward you.
