IF YOUR MACHINE IS OVERLOADED (DRYING INDICATOR LIGHT IS FLASHING)
1.
Unplug the unit and allow to cool for at least 35 minutes.
2.
Remove the processing lid.
3.
Look to see if any food waste is in the unit after the bucket is removed. Remove any food waste that might be inside the unit.
4.
Remove the bucket.
•
There is a gear on the underside of the bucket. Turn it counterclockwise.
•
If the grinding arms turn without an issue, proceed to STEP 5 without emptying the bucket.
•
If the grinding arms turn with hesitation or won't turn at all, remove all food waste from the bucket and try to rotate the gear again. If the prob-
lem persists, contact Vitamix Customer Service for instructions.
5.
Look inside the bucket. Look to see if food waste is above the max fill line. If food waste is above that line, you have overfilled the bucket. Remove
some food waste until the top of the material is below the max fill line. Install the bucket. Plug the unit it. Attach the lid and begin the process again.
The machine will start with the drying cycle.
6.
If the material is not above the max fill line and the machine is overloaded, pieces of the food waste might be too large or the material is not ideal for
use in the FoodCycler. See page 7, paragraph 9 for parameters about loading the bucket.
