TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
| PROBLEM | 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. Try unplugging the Blender, then plug it back into an earthed electrical outlet. | |
| If Blender stops while blending: | The Blender becomes overloaded or jammed. It will automatically shut off to prevent damage to the motor. Unplug the power cord. Remove the Blender Jar from the base and use a spatula to rearrange the ingredients in the Blender Jar. |
| The Blender is overloaded, divide contents into smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding liquid to the Blender Jar may also reduce the load on the Blender. | |
| If Blender stops while blending with Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar: | Unplug the power cord. Remove the Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar from the base with the Blade Assembly. Shake it a little bit. Place it back on the base, and then plug and turn the Blender back on to continue regular use. |
| If the problem cannot be corrected: | See the “Product Warranty and Customer Service” sections. Contact an Authorised Service Centre for assistance. Do not return the Blender to the retailer — retailers do not provide service. |
