WARNING
35 NEVER operate the appliance without lids and caps in place. DO NOT attempt
to defeat the interlock mechanism. Ensure the container and lid are properly
installed before operation.
36 Before operation, ensure all utensils are removed from containers. Failure
to remove utensils can cause containers to shatter and potentially result in
personal injury and property damage.
37 Keep hands and utensils out of containers while chopping to reduce the risk
of severe personal injury or damage to the blender/food chopper. A scraper may
be used ONLY when the blender or processor is not running.
38 If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to the sides of the cup, stop the
appliance, remove the blade assembly, and use a scraper to dislodge
ingredients.
39 DO NOT open the pitcher’s pour spout cap while blender is operating.
40 If you find unmixed ingredients sticking to the sides of the pitcher, stop
the appliance, remove the lid, and use a spatula to dislodge ingredients.
NEVER insert your hands into the pitcher, as you may contact one of the blades
and experience a laceration.

SHREDDER
SHREDDING
SLICER
SLICING
REVERSIBLE SLICING/ SHREDDING DISC

sliced cucumbers and shredded carrots. Face the side labeled “slicer” up for
slicing and face the side labeled “shredder” up for shredding.

USING THE CONTROL PANEL
Use the Power button to turn the unit on or off.
SWITCHING BETWEEN AUTO-IQ® AND MANUAL MODE: To toggle between Auto-iQ Mode and
Manual Mode, press the IQ/MANUAL button.
NOTE: In Manual Mode, Auto-iQ programs will not illuminate on the control panel.
AUTO-IQ MODE Unique timed programs customized to take the guesswork out of making great drinks and meals.
MANUAL MODE Choose from 10 different speeds for total control of your blending in the pitcher. For best results, use only speed 1 when using the dough blade. Only speed 1 is available when using the feed chute lid and disc assemblies. Only speed 10 is available when using the XL bowl and single-serve cup.
USING THE AUTO-IQ® PROGRAMS
NOTE: The unit can detect if the pitcher with the flat lid, pitcher with the
feed chute lid or the cup/bowl installed on the motor base. Only the functions
available for a particular container will illuminate on the control panel.
SELECT AND RUN AN AUTO-IQ PROGRAM Use the dial to select the desired program, then press START/STOP to begin. As the program runs, the timer will count down and the speedometer will show speed. When the countdown ends, blending will stop automatically. To stop blending before the end of the program, press START/STOP again.

pulses.
USING VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL & THE POWER BLENDER & PROCESSOR PITCHER
NOTE: If using the dough blade assembly, only use the flat lid and speed 1.
START SLOW Always start at a low speed (13) to better incorporate ingredients
and prevent them from sticking to the side of the vessel.
DIAL UP THE SPEED Smoother blends call for higher speeds. Low speeds are great
for chopping veggies and mixing dough, but you’ll need to ramp up for purees
and dressings.
HIGH-SPEED BLENDING Blend until you get your desired consistency. The longer
you blend, the better the breakdown and smoother the outcome will be.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off
and unplug unit before troubleshooting.
Display reads “- -“. · If the display reads “- -“, install a container and the
available program buttons will
illuminate, indicating the unit is ready for use. Ensure the lid is fully
engaged and the container has been rotated clockwise and clicked to lock into
place. · If vessel is properly installed and the display reads `- -‘, ensure
the interior of the base area is clean of any debris.
Display reads “E1”. · If the display reads “E1”, unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet 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.
Display reads “E2”. · If the display reads “E2” unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet and allow it to cool for
5 minutes. Remove the blade assembly and empty the contents to ensure no
ingredients are jamming the blade assembly. If output is too thick and
ingredients are not processing properly, add more liquid.
Blade speed sometimes changes when blending thinner ingredients. · When using
speed 9 or 10 with the pitcher, you may notice a change in the blade speed
when blending thinner ingredients. This is due to the smart technology in the
blender and is part of the unit’s normal operation.
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.
· 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 XL bowl, during the
blending process twist the built-in tamper counterclockwise continuously to
circulate ingredients.
Unit moves on counter while blending. · Make sure the surface and feet of the
unit are clean and dry.
Preset program will not work. · The unit can detect which container is on the
motor base. You may be trying to use a program
that is not designed for the container or lid you have installed. The programs
will light up, indicating which programs are available for each container.
Food is not evenly chopped. · For best results when chopping, cut pieces of
ingredients in a uniform size and don’t overfill
the Pitcher. Refer to the Quick Start Guide or Inspiration Guide for food prep
instructions.
Can’t remove the built-in tamper from the XL bowl. · The built-in tamper in
the XL bowl is not removable. For cleaning instructions, refer to the
Care & Maintenance section.
All ten speed ranges are not available when using the XL bowl, the single-
serve cup, or the feed chute lid and disc assemblies. · Only speed 10 is
available when using the XL bowl or single-serve cup, and only speed 1 is
available when using feed chute lid and disc assemblies. · All 10 speed ranges
are available when using the pitcher and stacked blade assembly.
IMPORTANT: Only use speed 1 when using the dough blade assembly.
Cannot install feed chute lid onto pitcher. · Thoroughly wash the handle of
the pitcher with soap and water where the lid connects to
the pitcher. · Check to ensure the desired disc is fully seated on the disc
spindle.
Ingredients are unevenly sliced. · For best results when using the reversible
slicing/shredding disc, trim ingredients to
a uniform size so they fit better through the feed chute. Do not cut
ingredients smaller than the feed chute height. DO NOT attempt to force
ingredients through the feed chute.
