The blender is
spattering ingredients
outside the blender
pitcher jar.
The blender is leaking
around the bottom
of the pitcher.
The blender motor
is bogging down.
The blender wobbles

Possible Solution
Check the power cord to make sure it is
securely fastened into the blender and
into the electrical outlet.

If the pitcher lid has been removed,
make sure the blender is set on a low
setting to avoid spattering.
The blender may be overloaded.
Remove some of the contents and
continue blending.
Make sure the pitcher gasket is
positioned between the pitcher jar and
the blade base.
Check to see if the base ring is securely
screwed into place and aligned evenly
around the base of the pitcher jar.
Check to make sure the blender isn’t
overloaded with dense foods.
If so, break into smaller pieces.
When using the ice “crush” mode, be
sure to use solidly frozen ice cubes and
break up any large chunks of ice.
Make sure the small pads on the feet of
the blender are all snugly pushed in.
Check to see if the work surface is level.
