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 2cm |
| (¾ inch). |
|
|
Food is chopped too fine | • The food has been |
or is watery | 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 | • Use the ICE setting for ice crushing. Process up to |
desired consistency | one standard ice cube tray or |
| 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 |
| |
| hollow ice may result in a coarser ice, perfect for use |
| as a base for fresh oysters. |
