Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Notes Or Your Favorite Recipes

Motor doesn’t start or
attachment doesn’t rotate.

Food is unevenly chopped.

Food is too finely chopped or
too watery.

You cannot achieve snow
from ice cubes.

Cup is leaking.

Unit doesn’t turn on.

Unit doesn’t turn off.

Doesn’t mix well.

• For the cups, make sure that the tabs are seated in the slots and

turned clockwise.

• Either you are chopping too much food at once, or you are not pulsing

properly. Reduce the amount of food in the cup.

• The food has been over processed. Use short pulses for best results.

Press down on the cup in short intervals.

• For best results use ice straight from the freezer. Try using short pulses

instead of one long one.

• Make sure the cup is completely dry before adding ice.

• Make sure that your lid or blade assembly is properly assembled to the

cup. Leaking may occur if it is misaligned when twisted onto the cup.
Turn the lid tightly clockwise.

• Make sure the unit is plugged in.

• Rotate and press down on the cup to turn the unit on.

• Make sure the blade assembly is properly assembled to the cup and that

it is not misaligned.

• Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and call customer

service for support.

• Pulse ingredients for best results. Press down on the cup in short

intervals for even blending and chopping. For frozen ingredients, pulse in
short intervals of 2-5 seconds and repeat.

Lid/blade assembly will not
properly align to the cup.

12 13AUST: 1800 8 90 84 0 NZ: 08 00 00 2 999

• Set the cup on a level surface. Place the lid or blade assembly on top of

the cup and align the threads so that the lid/blades sit flat on the cup.

have a tight seal.
