TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the blender does not operate when switched on:
– Check to see if the blender is plugged into a grounded
3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the blender, then plug it in to
the same outlet again. If the blender still does not work,
check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the
blender is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.
– The blender may be jammed or overheated. Move the
On/Off/Pulse Switch to the “Off” position and refer to the
troubleshooting instructions in the remainder of this section.
• If the blender stops while blending:
– The blender may be jammed. If a foreign object or blender
ingredients jam the blades, the blender will shut off to
prevent damage to the motor. Move the On/Off/Pulse
Switch to the “Off” position to reset the blender. Remove
the jar from the base and free the blades by breaking-up
or removing the contents at the bottom of the jar.
On the Chef’s Blender, the high speed
indicator light will flash when the
blender is jammed or overheated.
– The blender may be overheated. If the motor exceeds a certain
temperature, the thermal safeguard will engage to prevent
damage. This may happen when blending multiple jars of
heavy ingredients for a prolonged period. Move the
On/Off/Pulse Switch to the “Off” position. The thermal
safeguard will prevent the blender from running until it is cool
enough to operate safely. Let the blender cool for 30 minutes,
then resume blending. If the blender does not start, move the
On/Off/Pulse Switch back to the “Off” position and let the
blender cool for an additional 30 minutes.
On the Chef’s Blender, the high speed
indicator light will flash when the
blender is overheated or jammed.
– The blender may be overloaded. If the blender slows
excessively when blending heavy ingredients, it will shut
off to prevent damage. Move the On/Off/Pulse Switch to
the “Off” position to reset the blender. Remove the jar
from the base and divide the jar contents into smaller
batches. Adding liquid to the jar may also reduce the load
on the blender.
On the Chef’s Blender, the low speed
indicator light will flash when the
blender is overloaded.
