Troubleshooting
Machine not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the lid is properly locked in place, as many units have a safety mechanism.

Adjust the texture setting to achieve the desired consistency. Ensure ingredients are at the correct temperature before adding them, and for optimal results, follow recipe suggestions for liquid-to-solid ratios.
