the utility.
10 IMPORTANT: Attachments are not interchangeable.
11 IMPORTANT: Never add ingredients to the containers (processor
bowl, pitchers, etc.) before inserting the blade assembly first.
12 IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate the container (processor
bowls, pitchers, etc.) without the lid on.
13 IMPORTANT: Never run the appliance empty.
14 IMPORTANT: Make sure that the motor base is plugged in for use.

Unit doesn’t turn on:
• Make sure the unit is plugged in and the START/STOP button is pressed.
• Insert and rotate the container or accessory clockwise in the base until it clicks into place. Display should illuminate.
Unit doesn’t turn off:
• Remove cup from base by rotating cup anticlockwise and lifting out. Display should turn off. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Lid/blade assembly hard to assemble:
• Set the cup on a level surface. Place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit flat on the cup. Twist clockwise so
that the lid/blades evenly align to the cup until you have a tight seal.
Food is not evenly chopped:
• For best results when chopping, make sure all ingredients are as dry as possible. Cut pieces down to even sizes, and reduce the amount of food in the cup. Use the
Auto-iQ®CHOP button for best results.
Doesn’t mix well, food gets stuck:
• Using the Auto-iQ programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the food to settle towards the blade. If food is routinely getting
stuck adding some liquid will usually help.
• When packing the cups, start with fresh items, then add liquids, then powders/dry ingredients, and finally frozen items or ice.
Unit moves on the counter while blending:
• Make sure the surface, as well as the feet of the unit, are clean and dry.
Unit is difficult to remove from the counter for storage:
• To release the motor base from the counter or tabletop, place your fingers under the sides of the black paddles on the sides of the motor base and lift up to release
suction cup feet.
