Troubleshooting
Blender not turning on
Ensure the motor unit is securely attached to the accessory. Check if the power cord is properly plugged into a working outlet. Verify the unit is not overheating.
Poor blending or chopping performance
Ensure ingredients are cut into smaller, manageable pieces. Do not overload the container or food processor bowl. Check that the blade is clean and free of obstructions.
Motor unit feels hot during use
The unit may have overheated. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes before resuming use. For continuous use, shorter intervals are recommended, especially with tougher ingredients.
Splashing during blending
Ensure the blending bell is fully submerged in the liquid before turning on the motor. Do not overfill the container or pot. Start on a lower speed setting and gradually increase.
