• The motor will stop and the message “MOTOR HAS
OVERHEATED REMOVE THE CONTAINER, THEN PRESS
START”, will scroll across the display window, while the words
“HOT SHUTDOWN” will remain in the display window alerting
you of the problem.

the motor has cooled. Remove the container, shut the cover
door and press the START/STOP button, and run the machine
for two minutes.
• When the motor is cool “READY” will appear in the display
window.
