GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR BLENDER
IMPORTANT: Review all warnings on pages 4–5 before proceeding.
ASSEMBLING THE HEATED BLENDER
1. Plug in motor base and place on a clean, dry, level surface such as a countertop or table.
2. Lower the pitcher onto the motor base.
3. Add ingredients, making sure to not exceed the max fill lines on side of pitcher. In COOK or INFUSE modes, DO NOT exceed the level labeled “SOUP.” In BLEND mode, DO NOT exceed the level labeled “COLD.”
4. To install the lid on the pitcher, place the lid tab to the right of the handle. Press the lid down until it is secure. Rotate the tab clockwise so the arrow on the lid tab aligns with the arrow on the pitcher handle.
5. Secure the center cap by placing it down into the lid and twisting clockwise until it clicks into place.
6. To remove the lid from the pitcher, rotate lid counterclockwise out of the lock position and lift up.
NOTE: After heated programs, steam may release as the lid is removed. Keep hands on the outer tabs and lift directly up.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn power off and unplug unit before troubleshooting.
Unit doesn’t turn on.
- Make sure unit is plugged in.
- Display will light up with usable programs once connected to power. Pitcher and lid must be engaged to select a program.
Lid is stuck on pitcher.
- The lid is removed by rotating from the handle counterclockwise and then lifting up.
Cannot change time or temperature settings on Auto-IQ® programs.
- All programs were developed by culinary experts to deliver the perfect balance of heating, stirring, and blending patterns to give perfect results, so you do not have to set the time or temperature.
- To select a specific temperature, use the Manual COOK setting instead of an Auto-iQ program.
Program has paused.
- If the lid was removed while running a program or while in a Manual mode, the cooking or blending function will pause. Replace the lid and push the program button again to continue from where the time left off.
Why does the blender sometimes count up and other times count down?
- Auto-iQ programs are timed to finish on their own when they are complete, so the clock counts down until the program has finished. When using Manual modes, the clock will count up from 0 until the auto shutoff time is reached or the button for the currently running mode is selected again.
How do I know the length of the program before starting?
- Some Auto-IQ programs include an automatic preheat setting before the program begins. Preheat time fluctuates based on the starting temperature of ingredients. See the “Features” section of this User Guide or included Quick Start Guide for program durations.
Pitcher still has residue after running the Clean program.
- Try running the CLEAN program a second time. You may also hand-wash the pitcher using the included cleaning brush, which is specifically designed to clean those hard-to-reach areas.
The control panel returns to home display.
- The control panel is designed to return to standby mode when left inactive for minutes. If you have taken longer than 3 minutes to choose a function, or if the program has finished, the unit will return to standby mode.
Why does the unit beep during Auto-iQ Programs?
- We’ve incorporated STIR ALERT within all Auto-iQ programs to let you know the unit is about to stir. The alert is 3 beeps followed by a 2-second pause before each stir.
