Frequently asked questions

This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the 

appliance. If you cannot find the answer to your question, contact the 

Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Question

Answer

Can I clean all 

removable 

parts in the 

dishwasher?

Yes, all parts except the motor unit are dishwasher-

proof.

The appliance 

does not work. 

What should I 

do?

Please check if you have plugged in the appliance. 

Also check if the blender jar is assembled properly 

and if the handle of the jar points to the right.

What does 

‘pulse’ mean?

When you push the pulse switch to PULSE and hold 

it in this position, the appliance runs at its highest 

speed. As soon as you release the pulse switch, the 

switch jumps back to its original position. When the 

blender was set to PULSE from the pulse-activation 

position P, it stops when you release the pulse switch. 

When the blender operated at speed 1 to 4, it starts 

to run again at this speed when you release the 

pulse switch. The pulse switch gives you more 

control over the processing job and is also very 

useful when you want to process ingredients very 

briefly.

The pulse 

switch does not 

work. What 

should I do?

Check if the appliance is plugged in and the speed 

selector is in pulse-activation position P. You can also 

use the pulse switch when the speed selector is set 

to a speed between 1 and 4. The pulse switch does 

not work when the speed selector is set to the off 

position 0 or to speed 5.

Question

Answer

What is the 

AUTO setting 

of the speed 

selector for?

When the speed selector is set to AUTO, the 

blender automatically speeds up to the maximum 

speed within 15 seconds and then keeps running 

at the maximum speed.

Can I pour 

boiling hot 

liquids into the 

blender jar?

No, let the liquids or ingredients cool down to 

80°C/175°F to avoid damage to the blender jar.

Why does the 

motor produce 

an unpleasant 

smell during 

processing?

It is very common for a new appliance to give off an 

unpleasant smell or emit some smoke the first few 

times it is used. This phenomenon stops after you 

have used the appliance a number of times. The 

appliance may also give off an unpleasant smell or 

emit some smoke if it has been used too long. In that 

case, switch off the appliance and let it cool down 

for 60 minutes.

The appliance 

stopped 

running because 

the blades are 

blocked. What 

should I do?

Switch off the appliance and unplug it. Then use a 

spatula to dislodge the ingredients that block the 

blades. If you were processing a large quantity, pour 

some of the ingredients out of the blender jar before 

you switch on the blender again.
