Why does food get stuck around the blades or bowl walls?

Modified on Thu, 20 Aug at 2:57 PM

This is often caused by too much food in the bowl, sticky ingredients, or pieces that are too large. Unplug the chopper before clearing any food from the blade area.

1. Empty and inspect the bowl

  1. Remove the food from the bowl.
  2. Check whether large pieces are preventing movement around the blades.

Expected result: The bowl should be easier to process when refilled with smaller pieces.

2. Use a smaller batch

  1. Refill the bowl with less food.
  2. Try processing again in short bursts.

Expected result: Ingredients should circulate better around the blades.

3. Clean the bowl and blades carefully

  1. Wash removable parts according to normal cleaning practice for your model.
  2. Dry all parts fully before reassembly.

Expected result: Dried, clean parts should help reduce sticking during the next use.

When to stop: Stop if food remains trapped because a part appears bent, cracked or does not sit correctly.

When to contact support: Contact support if sticking continues after reducing the batch size and cleaning the removable parts.
