BLENDER SERVICE MANUAL

Blender Service Procedures

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Unplug blender or disconnect power before servicing.

Before starting any service procedure, review the “Safety Guidelines” in the front of this manual.

Perform any blender disassembly on a clean surface and provide a cushion for the power base to avoid scratching the surface of the product.

Power Base Access (Fig. 9)

To access the power base (1), remove four rubber feet

(2)on the bottom of the power base (1). Remove four Phillips head screws (3) with a clean, medium-sized Phillips screwdriver.

If any of the rubber feet (2) are heavily soiled or cracked, you should replace all four of them.

When replacing or installing the rubber feet (2), make sure that they are all inserted equally into the power base (1) so that the blender will sit level on the work surface.

Power Cord Replacement (Fig. 10)

Always be sure to inspect the condition of the blender’s power cord (4) before running the unit.

Replace the power cord (4) when heavily soiled, cut, or damaged in any way.

Once the four screws (3) on the bottom of the power base (1) are removed, the upper housing (5) and base (6) can be easily separated for power cord (4) and component inspection.

Note the orientation of the power cord so that the proper orientation can be repeated when installing the new cord assembly.

To replace the power cord (4), disconnect filter connector (7) and remove ground screw (8) with a Phillips screwdriver.

Remove the original power cord (4) by sliding the power cord strain relief from the upper housing (5).

Figure 10

Before installing the new power cord (4), remove any soil from the base (6) using a mild dishwashing soap.

If the base (6) is contaminated or stained, replace the base (6).
