serve cup.
DO NOT store blended or unblended ingredients in the cup with the blade
assembly attached. Use only the spout lid when storing blended and unblended

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power
off and unplug unit before troubleshooting
Control panel does not illuminate.
-
Make sure unit is plugged in. If the unit is powered on and no cup is installed, the unit will display `- -‘. The available programs will illuminate after placing a cup on base and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place.
Control panel doesn’t turn off. -

Display reads “Er”. -
If the display reads “Er”, unplug the unit from the electrical socket and allow it to cool for 15
minutes. Remove the blade assembly and empty the contents to ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly.
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 vegetables then leafy greens or herbs. Next add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.
Unit moves on worktop while blending. -
Make sure the worktop and feet of the unit are clean and dry. Place the motor base on a smooth, clean and level surface. Do not place motor base on a rough or unlevel surface as the suction cup feet will not adhere properly.
Lid or Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly is hard to install on the cup. -
Set the cup on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.
