Troubleshooting
Motor doesn’t start or attachment doesn’t
rotate. Make sure jar tabs are sealed in the slots and turned clockwise.
Food is unevenly chopped. Either you are chopping too much food at
once, or not pulsing properly. Reduce the
amount of food in the jar.
Food is too finely chopped or too watery The food has been over-processed. Use
short operating for best results.
You can not achieve crushed from ice
cubes.
For best result, use ice straight from the
freezer. Try using a shorter operating time.
Jar is leaking Make sure that your lid or blade assembly
is properly assembled. Leaking may
occur if it is misaligned when twisted onto
the jar.
Unit doesn’t turn on Make sure the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the blade assembly is properly

Doesn’t mix well Pulse ingredients for best results. Press
down on the jar in short intervals for
even blending and chopping. For frozen
ingredients, pulse in short intervals of 2-5
seconds and repeat.
Lid/blade assembly does not properly
align to the jar Set the jar on a level surface. Place the lid or blade assembly on top of the
jar and align the threads so that the lid/
blades sit flat on the jar. Twist clockwise
so that the lid/blades evenly align to the
jar until you have a tight seal.
