Troubleshooting

Motor shuts off during operation

- Three automated programs take the guesswork out of common recipes
- Robust construction with built-in safety switches for peace of mind

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement is important; ensure the blender sits on a flat, stable surface with at least 15-20cm of clearance above to account for its 431.8 mm height. The device features an intuitive control panel with a rotary dial and lever, making it simple to operate right out of the box. For compatibility, the 110-240V power range makes it highly adaptable to different electrical environments. Care is straightforward: the 2L bowl is removable and designed to be rinsed with warm water and a drop of dish soap by running the blender on its highest speed for 30-60 seconds. Always verify that the lid is locked securely using the integrated safety switches before initiating any program.
