ROUBLESHOOTING
MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN SWITCHED ON:
No power:
•
Check the power source.
Not assembled correctly:
•
One of the parts may not be assembled (positioned, aligned or seated)
correctly and the safety switches are not activated. Make sure all the
parts are assembled correctly and the cover locking arm is locked in
place.
Motor overheated:
•
Check to ensure the motor has not labored too heavily due to
excessive speed, pressure, or load during juicing or blending.
•
Check to ensure the juicer blade, blender blade assembly, juicer cover,
or pulp container are not clogged.
•
Running the motor base continuously for an extended time, over five
minutes, can cause overheating and the motor base will shut down
automatically. The motor base will reset and be ready to operate after
approximately 10 – 15 minutes of rest.
•
Check to ensure powder, dust, or liquid has not been suctioned up into
the motor through the vents on the bottom.
MOTOR STALLS:
Too aggressive:
•
Allow a few seconds for the motor to get up to full speed before adding
food.
•
Reduce the pressure and speed of the food introduction.
Clogged juicer:
•
Soft fruit, over-ripe fruit or leafy vegetables can clog the juicer. If this
happens, clean the juicer according to the cleaning instructions and try
blending with firmer fruit or vegetables.
•
For large volumes of continuous juicing, stop after two minutes of
juicing, clean and allow the juicer to rest for 10 minutes.
Excess pulp buildup in the juicer blade and cover:
•
Check to ensure the juicer blade is properly cleaned and the filter mesh
is clear of debris.
Jammed or overloaded blender:
•
Try using “P” (pulse) to loosen the blockage. If this does not work, turn
“0” (OFF), unplug and remove the blockage.
•
Blend smaller quantities of food at one time.
