Understanding the Blender flash codes

IMPORTANT: The Blender will not operate at any speed unless the START/PAUSE button is
pressed first.
LED is flashing slowly
Ready mode
If the LED slowly glows with
increasing intensity and then
is off, the Blender is ready for
blending. Press START/PAUSE
button to start blending.
LED is flashing rapidly
Er_r_or_ mode
If the LED flashes on/off in
rapid bursts, the Blender is not
ready for blending.
The most common reasons
include :
- Pitcher is not properly in place
- Pitcher was removed before
blending was completed
- Blender is jammed
First, rotate the knob to
"OFF/O". Next, make sure
the pitcher is properly in
place. Then, choose your
selection and press the
START/PAUSE button.
If Blender is jammed, it will
stop running to avoid damage
to the motor. Press START/
PAUSE, then unplug the power
cord. Remove the pitcher from
the base, and with a scraper,
free the blades by breaking
up or removing the contents
at the bottom of the pitcher.
To restart, rotate the knob to
"OFF/O" position and then
rotate to knob selection and
press START/PAUSE.
LED is not flashing
If the LED does not flash after a
setting is selected, the Blender
is not ready for blending.
The most common reasons
include:
- Blender is in "sleep mode"
- Blender has been unplugged or
a power outage has occurred
The Blender may have gone
into an inactive mode or "sleep
mode." This feature saves
power if the Blender is left
unattended for a few minutes.
Resetting the dial to "OFF/O"
brings the Blender back into
"active mode". First, rotate the
knob to "OFF/O". Next, make
sure the pitcher is properly
in place. Then, choose your
selection and press the START/
PAUSE button.
If the Blender still does not
work, see below for further
information on ways to correct
the operation error.
