IMPORTANT BEFORE USE
Before first use:
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Read through this document.
3. Clean each part and run the blender on the Heated Wash setting before the first use and after each use. See the Initial Test Run section below for more information.Before each use:
• Inspect the lid, pitcher, base, and plug for any damage. Do not operate if any of these parts are damaged.
WARNING: Inspect the lid safety switch on the handle for any food or debris that may be caught and could interfere with the operation of the switch. If the lid safety switch is not operating properly, this may cause serious product damage or injury.• Ensure there are no foreign objects in the pitcher.
• Ensure the lid gasket is properly oriented on lid.• Properly seat and lock the vented lid cap into the lid. • Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid's notches are fully locked onto pitcher's tabs. The blender will not start if the lid is not seated on the pitcher correctly. See troubleshooting if "Lid" appears and the lid or pitcher is not place properly.
INITIAL TEST RUNBefore using for the first time, we recommend running the heated wash cycle to clean the pitcher and lid. This also helps you become familiar with the product and ensure it is working properly. The heated wash cycle will take an average of 5–10 minutes to complete.
- Place the pitcher on the base with the handle positioned to the right.
- Plug in the blender. Turn on the blender with the on/off switch on the right side of the unit. You will see the LED display light up. Ensure the product is plugged into its own dedicated outlet.
- Fill the pitcher with 3 cups (750 mL) of warm water and 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder.
- Place the lid on the pitcher.
- Vented lid cap: Align the slots on the lid with the tabs on the vented lid cap. Place in and turn counterclockwise to close. Check that the vented lid cap is on the lid completely.
- Lid: Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid’s notches are fully locked onto pitcher’s tabs. The lid’s safety switch prevents the product from starting when the lid is not seated properly on the pitcher. If the lid is not correctly aligned, the blender won’t start and will display “Lid”. You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.
- The product will automatically be set to when turned on. Turn the wheel until the blue light is lit above the setting.
- Press the wheel. There will be three slow beeps. The LED display will show the current temperature at the top of the display with 12 dashes moving in a circular pattern below it. This notes that the unit is preheating.
- Once the temperature is reached, the display will show a run time and begin counting down. During the Heated Wash cycle, some bubbles may appear, this is normal and expected. The more concentrated the soap is, the more bubbles it will yield. Bubbles should not spill over the side. If you’re using highly concentrated soap and bubbles start to bubble over, press the wheel to pause the Heated Wash cycle, remove the lid, and add about 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil to reduce bubbling.
- When blending is complete, three audible beeps will sound. The blender will continue to beep two times every 1 minute until is pressed or the pitcher is removed from the base. Some bubbles may form on top of the lid, that’s OK.
- To remove the pitcher from the base, ensure the lid is secure on the pitcher. When facing the front of the blender, use the pitcher handle to tilt the pitcher slightly to the left and lift away from the base. Discard the soapy water and rinse with clean water.
- Now you're all set to blend!

See the Cleaning section (p. 9) for further instructions.
*This preset timer starts when the product has reached cooking temperature.
FOOD TAMPERING
WARNING: Do not use the tamper with hot contents or during heated cycles. Damage to the product or serious injury may occur.
A food tamper is provided with the blender as an authorized accessory for the product. Use it only when blending cold food and liquid ingredients. During blending, you may use the tamper to push down food from the sides of the pitcher or release air bubbles that may form.
How to Tamper Ingredients
1. Remove the vented lid cap from the lid.
2. Insert the food tamper through the lid opening. During blending, do not tamper for longer than 30 consecutive seconds to prevent the motor from overheating. If the motor starts to struggle spinning, stop tampering to prevent the motor from overheating.
3. Push food down from the sides of the pitcher toward the blades.
Note: The guard near the top of the tamper prevents the tamper from coming into contact with the blades. When inserted in the lid opening, the tamper should not come in contact with the blades from any angle.WARNING: Rotating blades can cause death, serious injury, or damage. Only use the tamper included with your blender. Do not force the tamper deeper into the pitcher. Do not reach into the pitcher with hands or utensils while the blender is running.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The cases in the following tables do not always indicate a faulty blender.
Problem Possible Reason Solution There's a smoky smell on the initial use. Protective coatings are applied during manufacturing. The smell may be from these coatings wearing off. These coatings are non-toxic. This can occur on the first use and is considered normal and harmless. If the smoky smell persists or visual smoke is observed, stop using and contact the Solution Center. The program is running, but the motor isn't working. The motor has overheated. Overusing the tamper or blending very thick foods for too long like nut butters can cause the motor to overheat. Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour. If the motor still doesn't work, stop using and contact the Solution Center.
Do not blend any nut butters back-to-back.
The display shows "Err 1 or 2". The thermometer is malfunctioning. Take the pitcher off the base and place it back on the motor. The display shows "Err 3". The heating element in the pitcher is overheating. Make sure that there is food in the pitcher before starting and there is enough liquid added when using a heated function. The display shows "Lid". The lid or pitcher is not placed on correctly. Ensure all notches on the lid are aligned properly with the pitcher and the lid is rotated in the fully locked position.
You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.
Ensure the pitcher is fully seated onto the base.
The blender will not power on. The on/off switch is not turned on. Turn on the blender with the on/off switch located on the right side of the base.
The power cord is not plugged into the outlet. Ensure the cord is plugged fully into the outlet.
Check the blender on a different outlet.
The contents stop
blending.The contents are too thick. • Add liquid to the recipe.
• Use the tamper to mix contents.
• Pulse food.The motor overheated. Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour. The food is too watery. The food is overprocessed. Pulse the food on the Custom Blend setting to prevent over blending. Add additional food to thicken. There is too much liquid. Reduce the liquid in the recipe.

and pitcher.The lid gasket is placed on incorrectly.
Remove the lid from the pitcher. Remove the lid gasket from the lid, flip it, and replace back on the lid.
Bubbles are coming
out of the top of the lid
during the heated wash
cycle.There was too much soap added, not enough water, or heavy concentrated soap used.
Ensure 3 cups (750 mL) water is in the pitcher and add a splash of vegetable oil to reduce bubbles.
Ensure only 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder was used.
Heavily concentrated dish soaps may bubble more.There is overflow
during heated settings.1. You are cooking in a high-altitude area.
2. The pitcher is filled past the max-fill line.
3. You are cooking a high-starch food like rice, pasta, or beans.
1. Use the boil-over guard in place of the vented lid cap when cooking at a high-altitude with a heated setting.
2. Do not overfill the pitcher.
3. The blender wasn't designed for cooking rice, pasta, or beans. Cook these foods separately and mix them in after the heated cycle is complete.
The noise reducing
motor plug is looking
worn.It will naturally wear down with use after approximately 500 blending cycles.
Replace the current noise reducing motor plug with the replacement that was included with the blender.
To replace the plug, turn off and unplug the blender. Remove the pitcher from the base. Grip one of the fins on the plug and pull up. Place the new plug in by lining up the holes on the bottom with the prongs in the center.

IMPORTANT BEFORE USE
Before first use:
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Read through this document.
3. Clean each part and run the blender on the Heated Wash setting before the first use and after each use. See the Initial Test Run section below for more information.Before each use:
• Inspect the lid, pitcher, base, and plug for any damage. Do not operate if any of these parts are damaged.
WARNING: Inspect the lid safety switch on the handle for any food or debris that may be caught and could interfere with the operation of the switch. If the lid safety switch is not operating properly, this may cause serious product damage or injury.• Ensure there are no foreign objects in the pitcher.
• Ensure the lid gasket is properly oriented on lid.• Properly seat and lock the vented lid cap into the lid. • Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid's notches are fully locked onto pitcher's tabs. The blender will not start if the lid is not seated on the pitcher correctly. See troubleshooting if "Lid" appears and the lid or pitcher is not place properly.
INITIAL TEST RUNBefore using for the first time, we recommend running the heated wash cycle to clean the pitcher and lid. This also helps you become familiar with the product and ensure it is working properly. The heated wash cycle will take an average of 5–10 minutes to complete.
- Place the pitcher on the base with the handle positioned to the right.
- Plug in the blender. Turn on the blender with the on/off switch on the right side of the unit. You will see the LED display light up. Ensure the product is plugged into its own dedicated outlet.
- Fill the pitcher with 3 cups (750 mL) of warm water and 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder.
- Place the lid on the pitcher.
- Vented lid cap: Align the slots on the lid with the tabs on the vented lid cap. Place in and turn counterclockwise to close. Check that the vented lid cap is on the lid completely.
- Lid: Properly close the lid by ensuring the lid’s notches are fully locked onto pitcher’s tabs. The lid’s safety switch prevents the product from starting when the lid is not seated properly on the pitcher. If the lid is not correctly aligned, the blender won’t start and will display “Lid”. You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.
- The product will automatically be set to when turned on. Turn the wheel until the blue light is lit above the setting.
- Press the wheel. There will be three slow beeps. The LED display will show the current temperature at the top of the display with 12 dashes moving in a circular pattern below it. This notes that the unit is preheating.
- Once the temperature is reached, the display will show a run time and begin counting down. During the Heated Wash cycle, some bubbles may appear, this is normal and expected. The more concentrated the soap is, the more bubbles it will yield. Bubbles should not spill over the side. If you’re using highly concentrated soap and bubbles start to bubble over, press the wheel to pause the Heated Wash cycle, remove the lid, and add about 1 tsp (5 mL) of vegetable oil to reduce bubbling.
- When blending is complete, three audible beeps will sound. The blender will continue to beep two times every 1 minute until is pressed or the pitcher is removed from the base. Some bubbles may form on top of the lid, that’s OK.
- To remove the pitcher from the base, ensure the lid is secure on the pitcher. When facing the front of the blender, use the pitcher handle to tilt the pitcher slightly to the left and lift away from the base. Discard the soapy water and rinse with clean water.
- Now you're all set to blend!

See the Cleaning section (p. 9) for further instructions.
*This preset timer starts when the product has reached cooking temperature.
FOOD TAMPERING
WARNING: Do not use the tamper with hot contents or during heated cycles. Damage to the product or serious injury may occur.
A food tamper is provided with the blender as an authorized accessory for the product. Use it only when blending cold food and liquid ingredients. During blending, you may use the tamper to push down food from the sides of the pitcher or release air bubbles that may form.
How to Tamper Ingredients
1. Remove the vented lid cap from the lid.
2. Insert the food tamper through the lid opening. During blending, do not tamper for longer than 30 consecutive seconds to prevent the motor from overheating. If the motor starts to struggle spinning, stop tampering to prevent the motor from overheating.
3. Push food down from the sides of the pitcher toward the blades.
Note: The guard near the top of the tamper prevents the tamper from coming into contact with the blades. When inserted in the lid opening, the tamper should not come in contact with the blades from any angle.WARNING: Rotating blades can cause death, serious injury, or damage. Only use the tamper included with your blender. Do not force the tamper deeper into the pitcher. Do not reach into the pitcher with hands or utensils while the blender is running.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The cases in the following tables do not always indicate a faulty blender.
Problem Possible Reason Solution There's a smoky smell on the initial use. Protective coatings are applied during manufacturing. The smell may be from these coatings wearing off. These coatings are non-toxic. This can occur on the first use and is considered normal and harmless. If the smoky smell persists or visual smoke is observed, stop using and contact the Solution Center. The program is running, but the motor isn't working. The motor has overheated. Overusing the tamper or blending very thick foods for too long like nut butters can cause the motor to overheat. Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour. If the motor still doesn't work, stop using and contact the Solution Center.
Do not blend any nut butters back-to-back.
The display shows "Err 1 or 2". The thermometer is malfunctioning. Take the pitcher off the base and place it back on the motor. The display shows "Err 3". The heating element in the pitcher is overheating. Make sure that there is food in the pitcher before starting and there is enough liquid added when using a heated function. The display shows "Lid". The lid or pitcher is not placed on correctly. Ensure all notches on the lid are aligned properly with the pitcher and the lid is rotated in the fully locked position.
You will hear a click when the safety switch is engaged.
Ensure the pitcher is fully seated onto the base.
The blender will not power on. The on/off switch is not turned on. Turn on the blender with the on/off switch located on the right side of the base.
The power cord is not plugged into the outlet. Ensure the cord is plugged fully into the outlet.
Check the blender on a different outlet.
The contents stop
blending.The contents are too thick. • Add liquid to the recipe.
• Use the tamper to mix contents.
• Pulse food.The motor overheated. Unplug the product and let it cool down for an hour. The food is too watery. The food is overprocessed. Pulse the food on the Custom Blend setting to prevent over blending. Add additional food to thicken. There is too much liquid. Reduce the liquid in the recipe. See How to Use Preset Settings (p. 12–14) for recommended amounts of liquid. Add additional food to thicken. The food is scorched
on the bottom of
the pitcher.There wasn't enough liquid used.
The foods used on the Soup or Heated Puree setting contained high-fat/high-sugar.
To clean, make a salt and oil paste with 1 cup (250 mL) salt and 1/2 cup (125 mL) oil. Pour it in the blender, lock the lid, and select the Custom Blend setting. Blend on the lowest speed to break up the burnt-on food. Rinse and run a Heated Wash cycle (p. 14).
A soft bristled brush can also be used to scrape any burnt-on food after the pitcher has cooled down.
If you're still having difficulty removing scorched food, stop using and contact the Solution Center.
The food isn't
fully blending.The speed is too high for the food being blended.
There isn't enough liquid, or the food is too thick to flow back down into the blades.
• Use the tamper to push foods down if they stick to the walls on cold settings.
• Use a lower speed to ensure food isn't thrown up the side of the walls.
• Add more liquid.The blender is tripping

between the lid
and pitcher.The lid gasket is placed on incorrectly.
Remove the lid from the pitcher. Remove the lid gasket from the lid, flip it, and replace back on the lid.
Bubbles are coming
out of the top of the lid
during the heated wash
cycle.There was too much soap added, not enough water, or heavy concentrated soap used.
Ensure 3 cups (750 mL) water is in the pitcher and add a splash of vegetable oil to reduce bubbles.
Ensure only 1–2 drops of liquid dish soap or 1 tsp (5 mL) of dishwashing powder was used.
Heavily concentrated dish soaps may bubble more.There is overflow
during heated settings.1. You are cooking in a high-altitude area.
2. The pitcher is filled past the max-fill line.
3. You are cooking a high-starch food like rice, pasta, or beans.
1. Use the boil-over guard in place of the vented lid cap when cooking at a high-altitude with a heated setting.
2. Do not overfill the pitcher.
3. The blender wasn't designed for cooking rice, pasta, or beans. Cook these foods separately and mix them in after the heated cycle is complete.
The noise reducing
motor plug is looking
worn.It will naturally wear down with use after approximately 500 blending cycles.
Replace the current noise reducing motor plug with the replacement that was included with the blender.
To replace the plug, turn off and unplug the blender. Remove the pitcher from the base. Grip one of the fins on the plug and pull up. Place the new plug in by lining up the holes on the bottom with the prongs in the center.
