The main body got hot when I used it. Is this unusual?: If the product is used for longer than the continuous running time (less than 1 minute for the blender, less than 2 minutes for the beater), the turning parts of the motor and blades will overheat, and may cause damage. If you need to use the product for longer than the continuous running time, run it again after stopping for at least 30 minutes. If the main body becomes unusually hot or gives off an unusual smell during use, stop use and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
