IF
YOU
HAVE A
PROBLEM
Most
problems
with
the
food
processor
are
easily
solved.
Here
are
some
possible
problems
and
their
solutions.
Food
is
unevenly
chopped
Either
you
are
trying
to
process
too
much
food
at
one
time,
or
you
are
running
the
machine
con
tinuously
instead
of
pulsing
on
and
off until
pieces
of
food
are
no
larger
than
1/2-inch
cubes.
Liquid
leaks
from
bottom
of
bowl
onto
motor
base
Remove
bowl from
base
as
soon
as
you
finish
processing.
Do
not
remove
metal
blade
first.
When
bowl
and
blade
are
removed
together,
blade
drops
down
and
forms
an
almost
perfect
seal
against
the
bowl.
Liquid
leaks
out
between
bowl
and
cover
when
machine
is
running
You
added
too
much
liquid.
Never
use
more
than:
2-3/4
cups
thin.
5
cups
thick
liquid.
The
thicker
the
liquid,
the
more
you
can
use.
The
figures
above
are
for
thick
mixtures
like
pan
cake
or
cake
batter.
Slices
are
uneven
or
slanted
Pack
feed
tube
more
carefully
as
described
on
pages
16
and
17.
Maintain
even
pressure
on
pusher.
Carrots
or
similar
food
falls
over
in
leed
tube
Cut
food
into
enough
short
pieces
of
equal
height
to
fill
feed
tube.
To
slice
one
or
two
pieces,
use
small
feed
tube.
Cut
carrots
in
half
and
insert
one
piece
point
down
and
the
other
stem
down.
Sliced
or
shredded
food
piles
up
on
one
side
of
work
bowl
This
is
normal.
Remove
disc
occasionally
and
even
out
processed
food.
When
food
gets
close
to
bottom
of
disc,
empty
work
bowl.
A
few
pieces
of
food
remain
on
lop
ol
slicing
or
shredding
disc
This
is
normal.
In
most
cases,
you
can
shred
more
of
the
food
by
moving
the
large
pusher
up
and
down,
allowing
the
piece
to
be
shredded,
or
by
repositioning
the piece
in
the
feed
tube
and
reshredding
it.
Soft
cheese
like
mozzarella
spreads
out
and
collects
on
top
ol
shredding
disc
The
cheese
was
not
cold
enough,
or
the
pressure
on
the
pusher
was
too
great.
To
shred
soft
cheese,
do
not
push
on
the
push
er
but
let
the
cheese
go
through
by
itself.
Tap
on
the
pusher
to
guide
it
through.
CLEANING
AND
STORING
Keep
your
Pro
Classic™
Food
Processor
ready
to
use
on
a
kitchen
counter.
When
it's
not
being used,
leave
it
unplugged.
Don't
leave
it
with
the
pusher
assembly
in
locked
position;
this
could
damage
the
on-off
mecha
nism.
Store
the
blades
and
discs
as
you
would
sharp
knives
—
out
of
the
reach
of
children.
The
Disc
and
Blade
Holders,
optional
acces
sories,
offer
safe
and
convenient
storage.
All
parts
except
for
the
motor
base
are
dishwasher-safe,
and
we
recommend
washing
them
in
the
dishwasher.
Insert
the
work
bowl
upside
down.
Remember
where
you
place
sharp
blades
and
discs,
and
unload
the
dishwasher
care
fully.
To
simplify
cleaning,
rinse
the
work
bowl,
cover,
pusher
assem
bly
and
blade
or
disc
immediately
after
use
so
food
won't
dry
on
them.
Openings
at
the
bottom
of
the
large
pusher
provide
drainage
and
make
cleaning
easy.
If
food
lodges
in
the
pusher,
remove
it
by
running
water
through
or
by
using
a
bottle
brush.
If
you
wash
blades
and
discs
by
hand,
do
it
carefully.
Avoid
leav
ing
them
in
soapy
water
where
they
may
disappear
from
sight.
To
clean
the
metal
blade,
fill
the
work
bowl
with
soapy
water,
hold
the
blade
by
its
plastic
center
and
move
it
rapidly
up
and
down
on
the
center
shaft
of
the
bowl.
Use
of
a
spray
attachment
is
also
effective.
If
necessary,
use a
brush.
The
work
bowl
is
made
of
Lexan®
plastic,
which
is
shatter-resistant
and
heat-resistant.
It
should
not
be
placed
in
a
microwave
oven.
The
tube
at
the
back
of
the
bowl
houses
the
metal
rod
that
activates
the
motor.
