NOTE: do not use the power pod

ISSUE POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Motor does not start
or blade assembly
does not rotate.
Check that the bottom of power pod is clean and no ingredients
are blocking connection when attaching the splash guard.
There are too many ingredients in the jar.
The unit has overheated or overloaded. Unplug and wait
approximately 10 minutes before using again.
Make sure the splash guard lid is securely attached to jar.
Make sure the power pod is securely seated on splash guard lid.
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the electrical outlet.
Check fuse or breaker in your home. Replace fuse/reset breaker.
Ingredients are
unevenly chopped.
Either you are chopping too many ingredients at one time,
or the pieces are not small enough. Try cutting the ingredients
into smaller pieces of even size and processing smaller
amounts per batch.
Ingredients are
chopped too fine
or are too watery.
The ingredients have been over-processed. Use brief pulses or
process for a shorter time. Let blade assembly stop
completely between pulses.
Ingredients collect
on splash guard lid
or on the sides of
the jar.
You may be processing too many ingredients. Turn the unit
o. When the blade assembly comes to a complete stop,
take o the power pod and splash guard lid, and remove
some of the ingredients.
You cannot create
snow from solid ice.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt.
Use ice straight from the freezer. Start by using short pulses
to break up large pieces, then continue processing until snow
is achieved.
