PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
Unit is not turning on.
Be sure the blender jar assembly is correctly attached to the Food Processor
housing base.
1. Plug the housing base into an independent outlet.
2. Make sure the Food Processor housing base is securely plugged in.
3. Check the outlet for power; try plugging into a different outlet.
4. Check your home’s circuit breaker.
5. Make sure the interlocking cover is fitted correctly on the jar.
The blending process stopped.
The Food Processor housing base motor could have overheated. The
resettable fuse, which protects the motor, may have been tripped due to
overloading. If this happens, reset the appliance by unplugging the unit and
allowing it to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then reduce the contents of
the blender jar and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the
operating directions.
The rubber gasket won’t come off of
the blade assembly for cleaning.
Run blade assembly under water and tap on the edge of sink upside down to
loosen the gasket. Avoid hitting the blades, which could cause damage.
Blender jar appears to be leaking.
1. Check rubber gasket. Make sure it’s flush with blender assembly.
2. Make sure rubber gasket is properly in place.
3. Make sure rubber gasket is not damaged.
4. Make sure jar blade assembly is tight.
