Frequently Asked Questions - HC-500Y Vevor

Why does the grinder not start?

First check if the indicator light is on. If it doesn't light up, check the plug and power cord. If it is on, the lid may not be properly closed: the induction switches on the ears must be triggered. Adjust the lid screws if necessary.

What to do if the grinder suddenly stops during use?

This may be due to blade jamming, overload, or worn carbon brushes. Clean the bottom of the bowl, reinstall the carbon brushes on both sides, then press the overload protection button to restart.

Why does the motor get very hot?

Slight heating is normal. Excessive overheating may be due to material that is too wet, grinding time too long (max 3 minutes followed by 5 to 10 minutes rest), or bowl too full. Reduce quantity and grind in cycles.

Can you grind wet or oily foods?

No, only dry materials can be ground. For oily items (sesame, peanuts), dry them first and grind intermittently (10 seconds with pauses) to avoid overheating.

How to clean the grinder?

Wash all parts by hand (not dishwasher). For the bowl and blades, you can remove them and clean with water, but dry thoroughly before reassembling. Use a damp cloth for the motor block. A first grinding of rice and tea leaves removes oil residues.

How to replace the blades?

Loosen the nut with pliers, remove the worn blade, clean the bowl, place the new blade and tighten the nut. Always unplug the appliance before any manipulation.

What materials can be ground?

Grains (rice, corn, soybeans), spices (chili, pepper), herbs, cereals, and even hard materials like crystal sugar or cinnamon (after crushing). Avoid fibrous materials (barley, ganoderma) that become fluffy.

What is the recommended grinding duration?

For cereals, 30 seconds is enough. For spices, 20 seconds. For hard materials, 1 to 2 minutes per cycle, with pauses. Do not exceed 3 continuous minutes without letting the machine cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

What to do if sparks appear at the brushes?

Sparks and an odor are normal during first uses. If they persist, clean the brush surface. If the problem continues, replace the carbon brushes (provided in the package).

Where to find spare parts and technical support?

5. DO NOT use outdoors; this product is intended for INDOOR USE only.
6. DO NOT pull the power cord to disconnect.
7. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD. Always plug directly into a grounded wall receptacle.
8. This grinder uses a grounded, three-prong plug (hot, neutral, and ground). The grounding plug is used for electrical appliances with a metal shell to prevent electric shock. DO NOT change or alter the plug in any way. NEVER break off a grounding prong from a 3-conductor plug. Doing so will invalidate the warranty and may cause electric shock.
9. Place the grinder on a firm and stable surface. Ensure that the grinder is not placed near the edge of the worktop, where it can be easily pushed off or fall.
10. The Gear Housing and the Motor Cover may become HOT during operation. This is normal. DO NOT TOUCH these parts while operating.
11. To reduce the risk of unintentional starting, check that the control is OFF before plugging the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the controller to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
12. DO NOT operate your grinder under a wall cabinet. Always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when storing.

it. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches

the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

1. NEVER plug the grinder in where water may flood the area.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, DO NOT submerge the grinder in water or other liquids. Be sure the grinder is disconnected from the power source before cleaning. NEVER rinse the Grinder Motor under running water, only use a moist cloth to clean the Grinder Motor Unit.
3. The use of attachments or parts not specifically recommended or sold by the manufacturer for this grinder will void the warranty and may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
4. HAND WASH ALL PARTS! DO NOT USE DISHWASHER. Never put the unit near a hot burner, in an oven, or in a dishwasher.
5. NEVER use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloths when cleaning the grinder.
6. The Manufacturer disclaims any responsibility in the case of improper use of Grinder. Improper use of the Grinder voids the warranty.
7. DO NOT REMOVE WARNING LABELS FROM THE GRINDER. Doing so will void the product warranty and may result in serious personal injury.
8. This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operation from electrical shock. This grinder uses a grounded, three prong plug should be connected directly to a grounded 120V(US)/230V(EC), three prong grounded wall outlet receptacle. Grounded plugs are used on metal-encased electric appliances in order to provide protection from an electric shock. DO NOT change or alter the plug in any way. NEVER remove a grounding prong from a 3-conductor plug. Doing so voids the warranty and may result in electric shock.
9. Type X attachment: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

24. Do not fill the grinding tank to full, otherwise it will cause overload. The material you are going to grind at one time must cover the long blade in the middle and no more than 2/3 of the tank. Because this machine needs space to complete the cycle of the blades and the material to be ground. 25. Even if grinding stone, it only takes 2 minutes, so don't use it for

long. It takes 5-10 minutes to rest after every 3 minutes of work. If grinding some hard items, there should be an interval to prevent bearing overheating and damage to the motor. General grains only need to be ground into powder. If you are not satisfied with the grinding, you can sieve out the coarse particles with a mesh screen and grind again for finer powder.

1. To ensure safety, the nut should be tightened before grinding. After long-term use, blades and carbon brushes need to be replaced if they are worn.
2. The motor of the grinder is a brush motor. Sparks are normal during the first several uses. The sparks and the brush friction odor will disappear after you use the machine some times later.

You can grind some rice or tea leaves first for several times to eliminate the odor.

PRODUCT STRUCTURE

1. Operations Guide:

1) Open the upper cover and put the dried material inside; 2) Close the upper cover tightly; (Please make sure the lid is rotated to the end and locked tightly on the top.) 3) Plug in and turn on the timer switch, then turn on the switch for grinding (rolling sound will be heard); 4) Turn off the switch; (When you hear the sound rolling evenly, the material has been ground into powder, then you can turn off the switch) 5) Disconnect power supply before opening; 6) Open the upper cover and brush the powder out.

2. Grinding Cautions:

Wet or water-containing materials cannot be ground; dry materials only. Grinding time varies depending on the type of material used, and different types of materials require different grinding methods for better results.

1) Before using the grinder for the first time, put some rice and dry leaves to grind for about 30 seconds to clean the inner wall and remove stains.

2) For seasonings, it is generally recommended to grind for about 20 seconds and do not grind for too long. (Chili, Pepper, Fennel, etc.)

3) For ordinary grains, it is recommended to set the timer for about 3 seconds; if the desired effect is not achieved, grind again. (Soybeans, Millet, Black rice, Corn, etc.)

4) For general materials, it is recommended to set the timer for about 2 minutes. (Ginseng, Astragalus, Asparagus, etc.)

5) For greasy materials, it is recommended to first dry and de-oil the materials, and then grind them intermittently. Grind for about 10 seconds and pause 5 seconds. Check the grinding effect during the process to avoid the machine getting overheated, causing the materials to become burnt. (Sesame, Peanuts, Walnuts, etc.)

6) For super hard materials, it is recommended to first break the material into small pieces and then grind them. Pause for 10 seconds after grinding for about 1 minute. The grinding can be completed after about 2-3 minutes (e.g., crystal sugar, cumin, cinnamon).

7) For fibrous materials, the material itself has a fibrous structure, so instead of being ground into powder, it will appear fluffy. It is recommended to grind these materials intermittently (e.g., barley, Ganoderma lucidum).

Notice: When you first use the machine, you'd better clean the machine with a cloth moistened with vinegar or medical alcohol, and then put some rice and dried tea leaves into the grinding bin. Grind them for 30-50 seconds, then pour the powder out and clean the grinding bin.

3. Common Questions:

*Why can't the grinder be started?

First check whether the indicator light is on.

If the indicator light is not on, check whether the power plug is inserted tightly and whether the power cord is damaged (you can replace the power cord with that of other household appliances).

If the indicator light is on, the possible reason is that the induction switch is not triggered because the two buckles of the cover are not engaged.

*What to do if the grinder suddenly stops working?

If the grinder stops working, the reason may be that the blades are stuck, or the overload protector function works because of overload, or the carbon brush is worn. It's easy to solve this problem.

You just need to clean the blades' bottom or re-install the carbon brushes on both sides again, and then press the overload protector button again. The grinder could work well. Please see the overload protector and carbon brushes in the attached pictures, please check that.

*Why does the motor become hot?

It is normal for the grinding machine to be slightly hot, because the working principle of the machine is to pulverize the material into powder through the high-speed rotation of the blades. The whole process is carried out in the closed grinding bin, which will generate heat and cause the machine to heat up.

There may be several reasons for machine overheating:

1) The materials being ground are wet or have moisture.

Please dry the materials as much as possible before grinding, and then grind it when it is completely cool.

2) Grinding time is too long.

The machine must take 5-10 minutes to rest after every 3 minutes of use. If you are grinding some hard items, there should be an interval to

prevent bearing overheating and damage to the motor.

3) Put too much material into the grinding bin at one time.

The material you are going to grind at one time must cover the middle of the long blade and no more than 2/3 of the tank. Because this machine needs space to complete the cycle of the blades and the material to be ground. If the machine overheats and stops working, you can also solve it by re-installing the carbon brushes on both sides again and then pressing the overload protector button again, then the grinder could work well.

INSTRUCTIONS OF AIR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

When blades are jammed in the grinding bin, it will happen that the air overload protector pops up and the machine automatically cuts off the power supply. If this situation happens, turn off the power and check the grinding bin. Just need to clean the blades bottom and press the overload protector button again, then the grinder could work well.

HOW TO CLEAN UP THE GRINDING BIN

You can clean up the grinding bin of the grinder with a brush first, and then clean it with a dry cloth.

After using blades for a long time, you can remove them and clean with water. (The blades of a new grinder must be very tight; you need to use it for a long time, then blades can be removed.)

• Firstly, loosen the nut by using a pincer and remove the blade. • Secondly, wipe the grinding bin with a dry rag after removal of the blade, and please do not clean with water directly.

Please Note: If you clean the blades by using a wet rag or with water directly, please make sure the grinding bin and the blades are dry enough before re-installing the blades.

- Lastly, install the blades and tighten the nut, it is finished.
