Troubleshooting Guide:

Motor Doesn't Start or Blades Don't Rotate:
- Check that the bottom of the motor head is clean and there is no food blocking the connection when placed on containers.
- Ensure there isn't too much food in the container.
- If the unit has overheated, unplug it and wait approximately 10 minutes before using again.
- Make sure the power head is securely placed on the splash guard.
- Check that the plug is securely inserted into the mains power supply.
- Check the fuse or breaker; replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary.
Food is Unevenly Chopped:
- This may be due to chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces being too big. Try cutting the food into smaller, even-sized pieces and processing smaller amounts per batch.
Food is Chopped Too Fine or is Too Watery:
- The food may have been over-processed. Use brief pulses or process for a shorter time. Allow blades to stop completely between pulses.
