few times the appliance is

used.

after a few times, check the quantities you are processing and the

processing time.

of noise, gives off an

unpleasant smell, is too hot

to touch, gives off smoke

The lter is blocked. Switch off the appliance, clean the feeding tube and the lter and

process a smaller quantity.

The lter touches the

feeding tube or vibrates

strongly during processing.

properly placed in the juice collector. The ribs in the bottom of the

lter should t properly onto the driving shaft. Check if the lter is

damaged. Cracks, crazes, a loose grating disc or any other

irregularity may cause malfunction.
