8. Problem: Dough is too wet.
Solution:
• While machine is running, add flour,
1 tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans
the inside of the bowl.
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 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 minutes to allow the food processor
to cool off before resuming.
3. 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.
4. 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.
