Motor stops during operation
The motor may have overheated. Allow it to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before resuming use. Ensure the jug is not overloaded.
Ingredients are not blending smoothly
Ensure the correct program or speed is selected. Add sufficient liquid to aid blending. Cut larger ingredients into smaller pieces. For very dense mixtures, consider using the Vac Q™ (sold separately).
