The solid red light indicates that your blender is powered on, meaning it is properly plugged into an outlet and ready to operate. According to the SMEG BLF01RDEU manual, the red LED lights up to signal the presence of power as soon as the device is plugged in.
This permanent red light is therefore a sign of proper operation - it simply indicates that the device is receiving electricity.
To distinguish: the blinking light
If the red light blinks at regular intervals, it is a different error message: it indicates that the jug is not properly inserted into its base. In this case, check the position of the jug and reposition it until the light stops blinking.
In summary:
- Solid red light = power present, device ready - this is normal
- Blinking red light = jug mispositioned - to be corrected
