| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stirr does not turn on. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly installed. | Replace with new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| Stirr moves slowly or stops. | Batteries are low; mixture is too thick. | Replace batteries. The Stirr is designed for liquids and semi-liquid mixtures; it may struggle with very thick foods. |
