Troubleshooting
I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR BUT THE SHAFT IS NOT TURNING.
The motor shaft may not be properly engaged in the motor. You will know if this is the case because there
will be a gap between the top of the drive shaft and the plastic drive nut on top of the drive. Gently turn
the shaft by the drive nut until you feel the drive shaft slot into the motor. The pictures below show that
there should be no gap between the drive shaft and the top of the drive. DO NOT USE FORCE AS THIS WILL
VOID WARRANTY.
Incorrect Incorrect Correct

THE APPLIANCE IS ON BUT NOT HEATING AND THE SHAFT IS NOT TURNING
The appliance is fitted with an overload switch. The need to use the overload switch DOES NOT indicate that there is
a fault with the machine. The overload switch is designed to prevent the appliance overheating. This may be caused
if the appliance is allowed to boil dry or water has not been replenished often enough. The overload cannot be reset
while the appliance is still hot. Allow to cool –may take some time –before resetting.
If appliance stops working reset by pressing reset button
WHEN I TURN THE CHOCOLATE MACHINE ON IT CUTS OUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES.
Check that the appliance is filled correctly with water. You must fill the water compartment up to the MAX line. If
you do not fill the compartment with enough water then the overload switch in the appliance will trip. If this occurs
it may NOT be possible to reset the overload until the appliance is cool enough which may take some time. This is
not the fault of the appliance as it is working correctly.
Fill Water to MAX Line at all times If appliance stops working reset
