Troubleshooting PROBLEM Blender fails to start. Unit does not respond to button commands. Blender smells like it is burning. There is grease around the bottom of the blender jar or on the counter top. Blender jar is cloudy or stained. How can I clean it? PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION • Make sure variable speed control knob is not in the (OFF) position. • Check to see if the unit is securely plugged into an electrical outlet of proper voltage and frequency. • Check to see if fuse for electrical outlet has blown or if circuit breaker has tripped. • Turn power off and back on using variable speed control knob to reset controls. • If unit does not respond, call our customer care center at 1.800.851.8900 in the U.S. or 1.800.267.2826 in Canada. • Turn OFF ( ) blender and allow unit to cool. • Although motors are tested during the manufacturing process, heavy use may cause curing of motor windings. The smell may quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses. • If smell continues after additional heavy uses, call our customer care center at 1.800.851.8900 in the U.S. or 1.800.267.2826 in Canada. • Monitor the problem and source. This may indicate an issue with the jar bearings. • Call our customer care center at 1.800.851.8900 in the U.S. or 1.800.267.2826 in Canada if the condition persists. • Some cloudiness may be natural after use. The minerals from fruits, produce, and leafy greens, in addition to the oils of various nut butters, can sometimes cause a film on the blender jar. • Sprinkle 1/4 cup (59 ml) baking soda in blender. Add 1 cup (237 ml) white vinegar. Mixture will bubble. When bubbling subsides, add 2 cups (473 ml) water and blend on speed 10 for 1 minute. Wash any remaining residue with dish soap and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 15
