Before You Call For Service Problem The blender will not start. 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 on the work surface. Possible Solution Check the power cord to make sure it is securely fastened into the blender and into the electrical outlet. Make sure the ON pad is illuminated. Next, touch the desired speed setting. Avoid touching two speed settings at once since this will cause the blender to turn off. Make sure the pitcher lid is securely fastened into the pitcher jar before blending. 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. 11
