TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock and unintended operation, turn the power off and unplug the unit before troubleshooting

Motor Doesn’t Start or Blade Assembly Doesn’t Rotate

Check that the power pod is clean and there is no food blocking connection when placing on containers.
There is too much food in the container. Remove some ingredients to be below the maximum liquid line and try blending again.
The unit has overheated. Unplug and wait approximately 15 minutes before using again.
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet or try another outlet.

Food is Unevenly Chopped

Either there is too much food in the container, or the pieces are too big. 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 processes for a shorter time. Let the Pro Extractor Blades® Assembly come to a complete stop between pulses.

You Cannot Achieve Snow From Solid Ice

Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Be sure to use short pulses, in the beginning, to break up large pieces.
