• A safety protector in the motor prevents the
motor from overheating, which is caused
by excessive strain. Press the Off control
button and wait 20 to 30 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:
• If the back of the cover becomes
unlatched, and there is any related noise,
it 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/kneading blade from the
work bowl.
Solution:
• This innovative blade has 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 pusher falls out when the
cover is turned upside down.
Solution:
• The pusher lock feature, located above the
handle, should be pulled out.
