7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Prestige Wet Grinder, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Grinder not starting: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the drum is correctly placed on the motor shaft.

• Ineffective grinding: Ensure the grinding stones are clean and properly seated. Add water gradually, not all at once.
• Leakage from drum: Check if the drum is properly seated and if the lid is securely closed. Ensure the rubber gasket (if present) is intact.
• Overheating: If the motor unit feels excessively hot, switch off the grinder and let it cool down for at least 30 minutes before resuming operation. Avoid continuous operation for very long periods.
