To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic goods, appliances marked with this symbol must not
be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste, but recovered, reused or recy-
cled.
Possible Cause / Solution
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Dismantle the
appliance, clean it, assemble it and start again.
Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing
too hard on the food pusher may cause the food to be
irregularly sliced or grated.
Is the outlet still working? You may have overloaded the
circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.
Unplug unit, allow to stand for 10 minutes and then
press ON. Check by plugging in a working lamp or other
appliance. If none of these suggestions correct the problem,
DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call Customer Service
number at 1-800-231-9786
There may be a residue left on the motor from the
manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during the
initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible
smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the
Customer Service Number
Cheese should be processed immediately after being
removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella
should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to
processing to ensure it is firm enough for grating
Fruits or vegetables should be firm and not overripe. Store
vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior
to processing. Room–temperature vegetables are less firm
and do not perform as well.
Defrost fruit/contents for several more seconds
Contents exceed normal load limit or are too thick in
consistency
Chute (blades or frozen dessert attachment) is not fully
engaged with interlock mechanism; unit is not plugged in.
