USING THE TOTAL CRUSHING® PITCHER

IMPORTANT:

• Review all warnings at the beginning of this Owner’s Guide before proceeding.
• As a safety feature, if the pitcher and lid are not properly installed, the motor will be disabled. If this happens, repeat step 5 on the following page. When the pitcher and lid are properly installed, the program button LEDs will illuminate, indicating the appliance is ready to use.

NOTE:

• If the unit is plugged in and powered on, but the pitcher is not installed, the LEDs on the control panel will flash.
• Auto-iQ® programs have pauses and changes in speed throughout the cycle.
• DO NOT add ingredients before completing the installation of the Stacked Blade Assembly.
• If the Stacked Blade Assembly is not fully seated, you will not be able to install and lock the lid.
• The pitcher lid handle will not fold down unless it is attached to the pitcher.

1 Plug-in motor base and place it on a clean, dry, level surface such as a countertop or table.
2 Lower the Total Crushing Pitcher onto the motor base. The handle should be aligned slightly to the right and the pitcher should be oriented so the LOCK symbols are visible on the motor base. Rotate the pitcher clockwise until it clicks into place.

3 Exercising care, grasp the Stacked Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft and place it onto the drive gear inside the pitcher. Note that the blade assembly will fit loosely onto the drive gear.
4 Add ingredients to the pitcher. DO NOT add ingredients past the MAX LIQUID line on the pitcher.

5 Place the lid on the pitcher, aligning the triangle symbol on the lid with the triangle symbol on the handle. Press down on the handle until it clicks into place. The triangle symbols MUST be aligned for the lid to lock and the unit to operate. Once the lid is locked in place, press the Power button to turn unit on. The available program buttons will illuminate and the unit will be ready for use.

8b For thicker mixtures that cannot be emptied through the pour spout, remove the lid and Stacked Blade Assembly before pouring. To remove the lid, press the RELEASE  button and lift the handle. To remove the blade assembly, carefully grasp it by the top of the shaft and pull it straight up. The pitcher can then be emptied.

9 Turn the unit off by pressing the Power button. Unplug the unit when finished. Refer to the Care & Maintenance section for cleaning and storage instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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

The LEDs on the control panel are flashing.

• If the unit is plugged in and powered on, but there is no container installed, the LEDs on the control panel will flash. Install a container and the available program buttons will  illuminate, indicating the unit is ready for use.

The unit 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.

The unit moves on the counter while blending.

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

The unit doesn’t create snow from solid ice.

• DO NOT use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice straight from the freezer.
• Start with a few pulses and then use a continuous blending cycle.

The pitcher lid handle will not fold down.

• If not attached to the pitcher, the handle will not fold down. For storage, place the lid on the pitcher and press down on the handle until it clicks into place.
