Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Check that the bottom of motor head is clean and there is no food blocking
connection when placing on containers.
There is too much food in the pitcher.
Motor Doesn’t Start or Blades
Don’t Rotate.
The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 10 minutes before using again.
Make sure the splash guard is securely on pitcher.
Make sure the power head is securely placed on splash guard.
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
Check fuse or breaker. Replace fuse/reset breaker.
Food is Unevenly Chopped.
Food is Chopped Too Fine or is
Too Watery.
Food Collects On Splash
Guard/Safety Cover or On the
Sides of the pitcher.
You Cannot Achieve Snow
From Solid Ice.
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are not small
enough. Try cutting the food into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller
amounts per batch.
The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let
blades stop completely between pulses.
You may be processing too much food. Turn the machine Off. When the blades stop
rotating, remove the power head and the splash guard. Remove some of the food
being processed.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Be sure to use short
pulses in the beginning to break up large pieces.
