Safety Reset Switch - Waring FP40 Operation Manual

The SAFETY RESET SWITCH is provided for your convenience and to extend the life of your Waring
food processor. It is located on the back of your machine, on the safety interlock tower, protected by a
round finger hole. The switch button is red.
If the machine should become jammed or somehow overloaded, the safety reset switch has a mechanism
that will shut down the motor to prevent overheating and to prevent damage to the motor.
How it works
If the machine becomes overloaded, the shaft and blade will stop turning, but you will hear a buzzing noise.
After a few seconds you will hear a click, and the buzzing noise will stop. This is the safety reset switch
shutting off the motor.
Possible causes of a motor shutdown
• Food becoming jammed between the processing plate and the bowl or cover.
• An unusually heavy load being processed for a lengthy period of time.
To restart the motor, follow these steps:
• Turn the machine OFF by pressing the PULSE/OFF paddle.
• Unplug the machine.
• Clear the batch processing bowl (or continuous feed chute) of the food that caused the jamming
condition. It may be that you only need to remove some of the food.
• Wait for at least 1 minute to allow the motor to cool.
• Plug the unit into the appropriate electrical outlet.
• Press the red safety reset switch located on the back of the safety interlock tower.
• Press down the ON paddle or the PULSE paddle to restart the machine. We suggest pulsing to start the
processing, as this will put less strain on the motor.
• If the machine does not start, wait for another minute and repeat this procedure.
