STORING

Wrap the power cord around the cord wrap on the underside of the motor base. Store the unit upright and with the blade assembly attached to the single- 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 ingredients in the containers.

DO NOT stack items on top of the cups. Store any remaining attachments alongside the unit or in a cupboard where they will not be damaged or create a hazard.

1. Unplug the unit from the socket.
2. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove the container’s lid and blade assembly. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assemblies.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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

• 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.

• Remove cup from base by rotating it anti-clockwise and lifting it up. The display with flash ‘- -’. Unplug the power cord from the electrical socket. If the unit remains plugged in, the display will time out after 3 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake the unit.

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.
