To clean the blender jar, fill it halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Secure the lid and blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry. Avoid submerging the base in water.
First, ensure that the blender is plugged in and the jar is properly seated on the base. Check that the lid is securely in place. If it still won't start, try resetting the unit by unplugging it for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
Yes, you can blend hot liquids, but it is recommended to let them cool slightly before blending. Always start on a low speed and gradually increase to prevent splattering. Ensure the lid is secure and use a towel to cover the top for extra protection.
Blade replacement depends on usage. For regular home use, inspect the blades every 6-12 months. If they appear dull or damaged, consider replacing them to maintain optimal performance.
Check that the jar is not cracked and the blade assembly is tightly secured. Ensure the gasket is in place and not worn out. If necessary, replace the gasket and retighten the blade assembly.
Place the blender on a rubber mat or towel to absorb vibrations. Ensure the blender is on a stable surface and not near the edge of the counter. Reducing the blending speed can also help minimize noise.
Clean and dry the blender thoroughly before storing. Assemble the jar, lid, and base to avoid losing parts. Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cord loosely wrapped and avoid sharp bends.
It's recommended to replace rather than sharpen the blades, as improper sharpening can damage them. If you choose to sharpen, use a sharpening stone and carefully follow all safety precautions.
A burning smell may indicate the motor is overheating. Turn off the blender and let it cool down. Check for any obstructions in the blade assembly, and ensure you are not overloading the jar.
Stop using the blender immediately and check for loose parts or obstructions around the blade. Inspect the jar and blades for damage. If the issue persists, consult with a professional technician for further assessment.
