TROUBLE SHOOTING
Motor doesn’t start or blades don’t rotate:
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
Food is unevenly chopped:
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.
Food is chopped too fine or is too watery:
The food has been over processed. Use brief pulses or process for shorter time. Let
blades stop completely between pulses.
Food collects on splash guard/safety cover or on the sides of the master prep pitcher:
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.
