Technical
1. Problem: The motor does not start.
Solution:
• There is a safety interlock to prevent the
motor from starting if it is not properly
assembled. Make sure the work bowl
and work bowl cover are securely locked
into position.
• If you are slicing or shredding and the
above solution does not work, make sure
that the food contents in the feed tube
are cut below the maximum fill line so
that the activation rod can engage the
motor.
• If the motor still will not start, check the
power cord and outlet.
2. Problem: The food processor shuts off
during operation.
Solution:
• The cover may have become unlocked;
check to make sure it is securely in
position.
• A safety protector in the motor prevents
the motor from overheating, which is
caused by excessive strain. Press the Off
control button and wait 10 to 15 minutes
to allow the food processor to cool off
before resuming.
3. Problem: The food processor cover
becomes unlatched in the back and or
makes a loud noise.
Solution:
• The back of the cover becoming
unlatched, and any related noise, will not
prevent the unit from working. Simply
push down to lock the back into position.
4. Problem: The motor slowed down during
operation.
Solution:
• This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g.
slicing/shredding cheese) may require the
motor to work harder. Simply reposition
the food in the feed tube and try again.
• The maximum load capacity may have
been exceeded. Remove some of the
ingredients and continue processing.
5. Problem: It is difficult to remove the
chopping/mixing blade from the work bowl.
Solution:
• These innovative blades have been
designed to lock in the work bowl to
prevent them from falling out when
emptying the contents of the bowl. Using
extreme care, use a little extra force to
remove the blade.
6. Problem: The food processor vibrated/
moved around the countertop during
processing.
Solution:
• Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom
of the unit are clean and dry. Also make
sure that the maximum load capacity is
not being exceeded.
• This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g.
slicing/shredding cheese) may require the
motor to work harder.
7. Problem: The large pusher falls out when
the cover is turned upside down.
Solution:
• The pusher lock feature, located above
the handle, should be pulled out.
