Display reads “- -”.

• If vessel is properly installed and the display reads “- -“, ensure the interior of the base area is clean of any debris.

Control panel does not illuminate.

Doesn’t mix well; ingredients get stuck.

• Using the Auto-iQ® 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.
• If using the TWISTi™ Pitcher, during the blending process twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously to circulate ingredients.

Unit moves on counter while blending.

• Make sure the counter and feet of the unit are clean and dry.

Lid or Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly is hard to install on the container.

• Set the container on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the container and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.
• Can’t remove the tamper from the pitcher lid for cleaning.
• The tamper is built in and not removable from the pitcher lid.

Display reads “E1”
