Solution . . .
• Check to see if unit is securely plugged into an electric outlet.
• Check to see if the fuse for the electric outlet has blown or if a circuit breaker
has tripped.
• Check to see if enough liquid has been added to the ingredients. Mixture should
be fluid and free-running at all times.
• Solid pieces are too large. Pieces should not exceed 1" (25 mm) cubes.
• Container is too full. Do not fill past highest graduation marking.
• Cutter unit blades are not sharp or are damaged. Inspect container and cutter
assembly daily. Replace cutter assembly at least every 90 days or sooner if
cutter assembly appears worn or damaged.
• Check to see if cutter assembly is installed properly.
