Troubleshooting
Problem
Food Processor does not turn on
Motor turns off while processing
Slicing blade does not provide
even slices
Food processor liquifies ingredients
Cause
Workbowl and/or lid are not
properly assembled onto base
Unit is not plugged in, or circuit
breaker is tripped
Motor has overheated
Too much force is being applied on
the slicing blade
Too much processing time
Solution
Ensure that both the workbowl and the lid are locked into place on
the motor base. Your food processor is designed with a safety interlock
that prevents the motor from running unless the lid and bowl are
properly assembled. See the Assembling Your Food Processor section
of this manual.
Ensure that your processor is plugged into a proper 120 VAC outlet. If
your unit still does not turn on, check the circuit breaker or fuse for the
outlet you are using and ensure that it is closed.
Ensure that you have not overloaded your food processor or that you
are using the correct ratio of ingredients according to this manual.
Should your motor become overheated, it is designed to turn itself off
to protect itself from permanent damage. Press the OFF button to turn
the power off and unplug the food processor from the wall outlet. Wait
15 minutes and then restart.
A steady gentle pressure is all that is required to process ingredients
using the slicing blade.
For precision processing, use the Pulse button to desired consistency.
Do not pulse the processor using the On/Off button.
