Troubleshooting

This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, contact the Consumer Care Centre in your country.

Problem Solution

The appliance does not work.	The batteries are empty. Recharge the batteries (see chapter ‘Preparing for use’, section ‘Charging’).
	The safety system is activated. In this case it is not possible to switch on the appliance and the charging light flashes red. Press and hold the unlock button and then press and hold the power-on button within 2 seconds to switch on the appliance (see chapter ‘Using the appliance’).

The overheat protection may have switched off the appliance because the motor is too hot. The charging light lights up red. Let the appliance cool down for 10 minutes before you continue to use it. If the appliance still does not work, contact your Philips dealer or a service centre authorised by Philips.

Problem Solution

The appliance suddenly stops working.	Some hard ingredients may block the blades. Release the power-on button to switch off the appliance, detach the motor unit and remove the ingredients that block the blades.
The charging light flashes red.	The safety system is activated. In this case it is not possible to switch on the appliance and the charging light lights up red.

I do not know which chopper blade unit to use for what type of ingredients.	Use the regular chopper blade unit to chop soft ingredients. Do not use the regular chopper blade unit to chop hard ingredients, to prevent this blade unit from becoming blunt. Use the serrated chopper blade unit to chop ice cubes and other hard ingredients.
