BLENDER TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM EASY SOLUTION
Motor appears to stall • One of the protection devices will be activated if
the motor stalls from overloading or overheating.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Either
too much food is being blended at one time or the
pieces are not small enough. Try trimming food,
cutting food into smaller pieces of even size and/
or processing a smaller amount per batch. You may
even need to remove a portion of the mixture from
the Blender Jug before reconnecting the power cord
to the wall outlet and recommencing normal use (see
page 36).
Food is unevenly chopped • Either too much food is being chopped at one time
or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting food
into smaller pieces of even size and/or processing a
smaller amount per batch. For best results the food
should be chopped into pieces no larger than 3/4
inch (2cm).
Food is chopped too fine
or is watery
• The food has been over-processed. Use the PULSE
setting or process for a shorter time.
Food sticks to blade • Too much food is being blended at one time. Unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet and remove a
portion of the mixture with a plastic spatula before
recommencing normal use.
• The mixture being blended is very thick. Thick
mixtures blend more efficiently if the Blending Jug
is 1/4 to 1/2 full. You may need to unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet and use a plastic spatula
to occasionally stir or scrape down the sides of the
Blender Jug.
Ice is not chopping to
desired consistency
• Use the ICE setting for ice crushing. Process up to
one standard ice cube tray or 12-14 standard ice
cubes at one time. The type of ice used will affect
the consistency of the crushed ice. To create even,
powdery snow for icy drinks and cocktails, use large,
solid, dry ice that has come straight from the freezer
(22ºF / -5.6ºC, or below). Small, slightly melted or
hollow ice may result in a coarser ice, perfect for use
as a base for fresh oysters.
