Why is there a large depression/bowl in the lid of the glass bowl?
1306779
Because if you store the bowl on the machine, the mixer head fits in the depression.

It is to allow for the beater shaft (where you attach the different types of mixing blades). It is this circumference to allow for the placement at any position.
1306781
I assume it is there in order to allow space for the mixer shaft when you park the bowl on the stand with the lid on the bowl.

My guess is that the cup is for the part of the mixer head that holds the blade to nestle down into, so the mixer head can sit level. The bottom is closed, so that the lid closes off the bowl.

Dunno, except that it might be for ice? That seems logical. It would be awkward, I think, to put any kind of ingredient in there. The only time I've used this bowl and lid (that does not lock) is to make a batter and put it in the refrigerator while I am doing some other step and wish to keep the ingredients cool. That is why I think it is for ice.

It is probably a veneer of some sort that seems to be quite durable. I have a microwave and a 5gallon water dispenser on top of this and my coffee maker on a matching companion piece from the same line. Both have seemed to hold up to heat and spills, including a disaster from the water dispenser.

hmmmm...If you are referring to specks in the bowl, I can't say that I have experienced this with my bowl. Maybe it's just the lighting.Can you share a picture of it?

It's there to let the air, that would otherwise be trapped inside the hollow handle, expand and contract while the bowl is in an oven. If it wasn't there the hot air inside the handle would expand and shatter the bowl while it's being heated.

the base is a hard plastic.....the bowl is aluminum, I think...(some light metal) ...the steam is generated there. you don't get close enough to really see it......

The bowl and lid are not seated properly. This is for your protection. If the lid is not on properly you could cut yourself. First place the bowl on the machine without the lid. Turn it until it snaps into place. then put just the lid on (minus the inserts) and turn until the lid is properly snapped on the bowl. Then put the insert with the silver stick on it into the bowl. Now switch the machine on. It should work now. Please let me know how you make out. If you have trouble doing this, you can go to your nearby Williams-Sonoma. They can show you how.

I've had this happen a couple of times when I run the pulp through a second time (I do this a lot) or when I've run the machine a little too long (my family drinks a lot of juice). I'm not sure if it's the combination of pulp overload and juice leaking under the bowl creating a suction, but the only way I've been able to get the bowl off was continual flushing with warm water. I have a big glass pitcher that I normally use for the juice side. I pour as much water as I can while the juicer is running: flush it through, repeat, wiggle the bowl, repeat ... I would also suggest calling Nutriteam. Although I forgot to ask about this particular problem, I've found them to be very helpful.

Yes，I met the same problem，I have to change a bigger bowl or put it in a cup instead of bowl.

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.

We have been washing ours in the dishwasher, and on two of the glasses, we've noticed there is a crack that runs all the way from the top to the bottom. It isn't leaking, and the crack doesn't appear to go all the way through the glass, but I thought it should be mentioned.

I do t know, if you find out please post. I'm looking also. Mold is forming on the water bowl. Im thinKing look for collapsible bowls of the same size

The bowl is not airtight. It has a seal arond the lid and that little valve that is there to (I assume) manage the little pressure that can be caused Inside the bowl when Poutine a hot liquid into it. It wont leak and it will be easy to open.

I do not think there is a hole, although at first it may look like that. After re-examining my own tumbler, I believe that small bump in the glass you see is actually the point at which the glass was connected to the rod used during the glass blowing process. Don't worry, it does not cause the tumbler to be unstable, as the bump is on the inside.

Pardon me if these sound obvious: Is the bowl plugged in and working? Can it be operated by the switch on the bowl? Also, try moving the lid manually; it might be out of position. It should click several times as it is moved. Distance between bowl and tag and whether the tag is facing inward or outward influence when the lid opens. Dead new battery?! Good luck!

Mine have held up fine through many re-heats (although mine are different than this picture, the lids are hard plastic with a rubber gasket and snap on). The glass bowl certainly is microwave safe, so if you are extra-conscious about plastic in the microwave, just take the lid off.

Btw, same thing happened to me. It means that your filling it too full and this isn't designed to do that much work. Plastic parts ya know.

I have the previous model but the same problem. I put a piece of packing tape on the underside of the bowl and feeder, holding the bowl against the feeder. Never had a problem since. :)
