UNSATISFACTORY BLENDED TEXTURE: If the blended texture of
product is lumpy or uneven, do the following:
• Make sure the mixture is not cavitating during the cycle. Cavitation is a
condition in which the blender blade spins freely in an air pocket within the
drink mixture because the mix is too cold or too solid. This problem can be
corrected by increasing the mix temperature (by reducing ice, increasing
liquid and/or insuring that the frozen ingredients used in the recipe are never
colder than 10 degrees Fahrenheit or -12 degrees Celsius). When the right
combination of correctly tempered ingredients is used, the resulting drink is
always smooth, thick, and blendable without operator attention.
• Increase cycle time. If the drink is mixing well but has not had enough time
for complete blending, try a longer cycle (usually by using a higher button
number to start the blender) or touch and hold the Pulse button for required
extra blending time.
• Make sure the drive shaft on the jar is fully engaged into the drive socket or
that the blade is firmly affixed to the drive shaft.
