SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MOTOR HORSEPOWER
Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a
machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of
motors. Our 1.5 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower
output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the
blender jar. As with any blender, the power output in the jar is not the same
as the horsepower of the motor itself.
PRODUCT SAFETY
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into an earthed outlet. Do not remove earth
prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Voltage: 220-240 VAC
Frequency: 50-60 Hz
NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
The power rating of your Stand Blender is printed on the serial plate.
The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load
(power). Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.

Solution
---|---
If Blender fails to start:
|
Check to see if the Blender is securely plugged into an earthed electrical outlet.
If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure the circuit is closed.
If Blender stops after 3 minutes:
|
It’s a part of the Blender operation to ensure lasting durability. Turn the Control Dial to (O) and repeat the process until desired consistency.
If Blender stops while blending:
|
When overloaded or jammed, it will automatically shut off to prevent motor damage. Unplug the Blender. Remove the Jar and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients.
Or, divide contents into smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding liquid in the Jar may also reduce the load.
If ingredients are stuck or not blending:
|
Unplug the Blender. Remove the Jar from the Base, and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the Jar.
If Blender stops while blending with Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar:
|
Unplug the Blender. Remove the Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar with the Blade Assembly from the base. Shake it a little bit. Place it back on the base, plug in the Blender and turn it back on to continue regular use.
If Blender stops while blending and the white LED ring flashes rapidly:
|
An error is detected in the Blender. Contact an authorized Service Center for assistance. See the “Product Warranty and Customer Care” sections.
If the white LED ring is off
|
After 10 minutes of no activity the Blender will go into Sleep mode. To wake up the Blender, press ( ) button.
