GETTING TO KNOW THE POWER NUTRI BOWL

Powering through tough and frozen ingredients used to require a lot of stopping, scraping, and recipe tinkering. But now, it’s easier than ever to create thick and spoonable smoothie bowls, nut butters, and more. All you have to do is twist the Power Paddle while blending to push ingredients down toward the blade. It’s like having a built-in tamper.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Hand-Washing

Wash containers, lids, and blade assembly in warm, soapy water. Use a dishwashing utensil with handle to avoid direct contact with the blades. Exercise care when handling the blade assembly as the blades are sharp. Thoroughly rinse and air-dry all parts.

NOTE: The paddle in the Power Nutri™ Bowl is not removable.

STUCK-ON INGREDIENTS IN THE POWER NUTRI BOWL

For stuck-on ingredients, such as nut butter, rinse the bowl and blade assembly under warm water.

Next, fill the bowl with warm water up to the top of the paddle and add 1–2 small drops of dish soap.

Screw on the blade assembly and press BOWL. Twist the Power Paddle counterclockwise continuously while cleaning.

Then, empty contents and rinse under warm water and wipe with a dishwashing utensil, if needed.

Dishwasher
Containers, lids, and blade assembly are top-rack dishwasher safe ONLY. Ensure the blade assembly and lid are removed from the container before placing in the dishwasher.

Motor Base
Unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe motor base with a clean, damp cloth.

STORING

For cord storage, wrap cord with hookand-loop fastener near the back of the motor base. DO NOT wrap the cord around the bottom of the base for storage.

DO NOT store blended or unblended ingredients in the cup or bowl with the blade assembly attached. Use only the spout lid or storage lid when storing blended or unblended ingredients in the containers.

DO NOT stack items on top of the containers. Store any remaining attachments alongside the unit or in a cabinet where they will not be damaged or create a hazard.

RESETTING THE MOTOR THERMOSTAT

This unit features a unique safety system that prevents damage to the motor and drive system should you inadvertently overload it. If the unit is overloaded, the motor will be temporarily disabled. Should this occur, follow the reset procedure below.

1. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the unit to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Remove the blade assembly from the container. Empty the container and ensure no ingredients are jamming the blade assembly.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that maximum capacities are not exceeded. This is the most typical cause of appliance overload.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, unplug unit before troubleshooting

Control panel does not illuminate

• Make sure unit is plugged in. If the unit is powered on and no container is installed, the unit will display ‘- -’. The available programs will illuminate after placing a container on base and rotating it clockwise until it clicks into place.

Control panel doesn’t turn off

• Remove container from base by rotating it counterclockwise and lifting it up. The display with flash ‘- -’. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the unit remains plugged in, the display will time out after 3 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake the unit.

Doesn’t mix well; ingredients get stuck

• Using the Auto-iQ® programs is the easiest way to achieve great results. The pulses and pauses allow the ingredients to settle toward the blade assembly. If ingredients are routinely getting stuck, adding some liquid will usually help.
• When filling the cup, start with fresh fruit or veggies, then leafy greens or herbs.
  Next add liquids or yogurt, then seeds, powders, or nut butters. Finally, add ice or frozen ingredients.
• If using the Power Nutri™ Bowl, during the blending process twist the Power Paddle counterclockwise continuously to circulate ingredients.

Unit moves on counter while blending

• Make sure the counter and feet of the unit are clean and dry.

Lid or Hybrid Edge™ Blades Assembly is hard to install on the container

• Set the container on a level surface. Carefully place the lid or blade assembly on the top of the container and align the threads so the lid/blade assembly sits flat. Twist clockwise until you have a tight seal.

Can’t remove the paddle from the Power Nutri Bowl

• The paddle in the Power Nutri Bowl is not removable. For cleaning instructions, refer to the Care & Maintenance section.
