Solution

The appliance 

continues to give 

off an unpleasant 

smell after I used it 

a few times.

You put too much 

food in the jar or 

you let the appliance 

blend too long.

Process smaller quantities and do not let the 

appliance blend for more than 30 seconds at a 

time.

The appliance 

makes a lot of 

noise, produces an 

unpleasant smell, 

feels hot to the 

touch, emits 

smoke, etc.

food in the jar.

Switch off the appliance and process a smaller 

quantity.

You let the appliance 

operate too long 

without interruption.

Do not let the appliance blend for more than 30 

seconds at a time.

The lid of the jar 

leaks.

You have not 

assembled the lid on 

the jar properly.

Assemble the lid on the jar properly. See chapter 

‘Using the appliance’.

There is too much 

food in the jar.

Switch off the appliance and process a smaller 

quantity.

There are white 

spots on the filling 

opening and/or on 

the jar, sieve and 

lid.

Scale has built up on 

these parts.

This is normal. Remove the scale periodically. See 

chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance’, section 

‘Descaling’.

produces a lot of 

noise while it is 

blending.

The sieve is not 

attached to the lid of 

the jar.

Make sure that the sieve is attached to the lid of 

the jar.

The water in the 

water tank has an 

unusual colour 

when you pour it 

out of the water  

tank or when it 

enters the jar 

during steaming, 

or the water in 

the water tank has 

an unpleasant 

smell.

Food particles have 

entered the water 

tank during use.

Clean the water tank according to the instructions 

in chapter ‘Cleaning and maintenance, section 

‘Descaling the water tank’. Use the appliance strictly 

according to the instructions. Make sure you do not 

overfill the water tank with water (max 200ml) and 

that you do not overfill the jar with food (do not fill 

the jar beyond the top edge of the green blade 

unit). Do not steam the same ingredients for more 

than 20 minutes and do not put water for steaming 

directly in the jar. Also make sure that the valve is 

fixed in the lid.
