IMPORTANT NOTES!

•The automatic overload protection shuts the motor off when the resettable circuit breaker pops out. It does so to protect the motor from overheating. If the motor shuts off, it could be do to:

–Recipe being too thick

–Recipe having too many ingredients in it.

–Recipe was being processed too long at too low a speed

THERMAL PROTECTOR: The thermal protector may shut the motor off to protect it from overheating. To restart, wait for motor to cool down with the power off (up to 45 minutes). Cooling may be quickened by placing the motor base in a cool spot. (Unplug first.) To speed up the process, try circulating the air with a vacuum or fan aimed at the bottom of the base. When the thermal protector shuts the motor off, review your processing techniques and your instructions. Your recipes may be too thick or have too much material in them. If the motor seems to be overheating but the thermal overload protector has not turned the machine off, stop the machine and remove the container from the base. Turn the machine ON and let the machine run for 20 seconds. Repeat this step 3 times for a total of 1 minute. Be careful never to touch any moving parts while in use.
