polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. DO NOT modify the plug in
any way.

Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Unit doesn't turn on
• Make sure the unit is plugged in
• Insert and rotate cup clockwise in the base until it "clicks". Display
should turn on.
Unit doesn't turn off
• Remove cup from base by rotating cup counter clockwise 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 Pro Extractor Blades
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 very short pulses by quickly pressing the "PULSE"
button.
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 powders/nuts. Add
liquids, and finally frozen items or ice.
Unit moves on 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
counter for storage
• Tip unit forward from the back to easily disengage the suction feet.
