TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Cause	Possible solution
Grinding noise	• The metal guard is loose	• Push the metal guard

up into the guide groove and turn anticlockwise until you hear a click and metal guard locks in place. The noise

should go away

Slurping noise| • Your pump has formed a water vortex| • Add more water or gently disturb water with a spoon. There is no sure way to eliminate a vortex from forming due to the pump rotation but usually will go

away on its own

Gurgling and woosh noise| • The pump is sucking air| • Add more water
The appliance does not work| • The power cord is not plugged in| • Check if power cord is correctly connected to the

wall outlet

Error code E3 appears on the display| • No water in cooking container

• Water below minimum level

• Short-circuited appliance

| • Add water

• Add more water, make sure water level is between MIN and MAX markings on the metal guard

• Have the appliance checked

by an authorized service

Low water level alarm turns on after a few seconds of operation| • The pump generates“waves”

– sometimes these waves will drop the water level right under the sensor and will cause a low water alarm

| • Add more water
Lights on the control panel

are slightly flickering when the appliance is operating

| • This is normal as the

circulator is modulating power
