7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Preethi Steele Mixer Grinder, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Mixer Not Starting: Ensure the jar is correctly placed and securely locked onto the motor unit. The appliance features a safety locking system that prevents operation if the jar is not properly engaged. Also, check if the power cord is firmly plugged into the outlet.
• Unusual Noise/Vibration: This can sometimes occur with powerful motors. Ensure the jar is not overloaded and that the ingredients are evenly distributed. If the noise is excessive or persistent, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Overheating: If the motor unit feels hot or stops working, it may have overheated. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to use it again. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods.
• Ineffective Grinding: Ensure the blades are clean and free from debris. Check if the ingredients are suitable for the selected jar and speed setting. Add a small amount of liquid if necessary for smoother blending.
