TROUBLESHOOTING

Want the best results from your equipment? You have to understand what makes it tick. These tips can help:
    • If ingredients aren’t circulating, try adding more liquid to your blend
    • During periods of heavy back-to-back blending, you may notice the exhaust air getting hotter. To cool the motor, turn the blender off and remove the container from the base. Then select program 6 and run for two to three cycles, or hold the Pulse switch continuously for one to two minutes.
