How can I prevent leaks from the jar during blending?

Ensure the blade assembly is tightly secured to the jar before use. Check that the lid is properly aligned and the lid cap is firmly in place. Avoid overfilling the jar beyond the maximum capacity indicated.

What should I do if the blades are not rotating smoothly?

First, turn off and unplug the unit. Check for any obstructions in the blade assembly. Clean the blades thoroughly and ensure they are not clogged with food particles. If the problem persists, inspect the blade assembly for wear and consider replacing it if necessary.
