Chef Troubleshooting Guide

My pen won’t turn on #

Solutions:

  • Ensure the power supply is firmly plugged into both the pen and wall outlet.
  • Confirm the pen is turned on using the switch.

Slow or no candy flow #

Solutions:

  • Make sure the indicator light has changed from Red to Green (slow) or Blue (fast) before starting.
  • If flow is sluggish, detach and soak the nozzle in warm water, then scrub gently with the Cleaning Brush.
  • Check that the capsule isn’t lodged—adjust it so it feeds straight and spins freely .

Candy sticks around the nozzle tip #

Solutions:

  • Wipe the nozzle clean while it’s warm (with a paper towel) to prevent candy buildup .
  • For smoother extrusion, lightly coat the nozzle tip with a food-safe oil or non-stick spray.

Capsules aren’t advancing #

Solutions:

  • Make sure capsules are inserted correctly: align the arrow with the slot and push until you hear a click.
  • Inspect capsules for uneven edges—trim or switch capsules if necessary.

Flow stops mid-use #

Solutions:

  • Wait briefly after the light turns Green or Blue before extruding—to ensure the first capsule has started.
  • If candy hardens in the nozzle, heat the pen, remove the nozzle carefully, clean it, and reattach once dry.

Light remains red & won’t heat #

Solutions:

  • Confirm the capsule is properly loaded and chamber closed—this ensures the heating cycle begins.
  • Heating typically takes about 60 seconds; if the light stays Red longer, turn the pen off and on again.
