IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM Most problems with the food processor are easily solved. Provided are some possible problems and their solutions.

Food is unevenly chopped Do not process too much food at one time. Food should be in uniform pieces. Pulse several times and then run continuously.

Liquid leaks from bottom of bowl onto motor base Remove bowl from base as soon as you finish processing. Do not remove metal blade first. When bowl and blade are removed together, blade drops down and forms an almost perfect seal against the bowl.

Liquid leaks out between bowl and cover when machine

is running

You added too much liquid. Never use more than 2-3/4 cups thin or 5 cups thick liquid.The thicker the liquid, the more you can use.

Examples of thick liquids include: pancake or cake batter.

Slices are uneven or slanted Pack feed tube more carefully, as described on pages 16 and 17. Maintain even pressure on pusher.

Carrot, or similar food falls over in feed tube

Cut food into enough short pieces of equal height to fill feed tube. To slice one or two pieces, use small feed tube. Cut carrots in half and insert one piece point down and the other stem down.

Sliced or shredded food piles up on one side of work bowl

This is normal. Remove disc occasionally and even out food. When food gets close to bottom of disc, empty work bowl.

A few pieces of food remain on top of slicing or shredding disc This is normal. In most cases, you can shred more of the food by moving the large pusher up and down, allowing the piece to be shredded, or by repositioning the piece in the feed tube and reshredding it.

Soft cheese like Mozzarella spreads out and collects on top of shredding disc

The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure on the pusher was too hard. To shred soft cheese, do not push–rather let the cheese go through by itself. Tap on the pusher to guide cheese through.

CLEANING AND STORING

Keep your food processor ready to use on the kitchen counter. When not in use, leave unplugged. Don’t leave the pusher assembly in locked position; this could damage the on-off mechanism.

Store the blades and discs as you would sharp knives — out of the reach of children. The Disc

and Blade Holders (optional accessories) offer safe and convenient storage.

All parts except the motor base are dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack. Due

to intense water heat, washing the work bowl and work bowl cover on the bottom rack may cause damage over time. Insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you place sharp blades and discs, and be certain to unload the dishwasher carefully.

To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately after use. Openings at the bottom of the large pusher provide drainage and make cleaning easy. If food lodges in the pusher, remove it by running water through pusher or using a bottle brush.

If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leav- ing them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic center and move rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective.

If necessary, use a brush.

The work bowl is made of Lexan® plastic, which is shatter-resistant and heat-resistant. It should not be placed in a microwave oven, as the tube at the back of the bowl houses the metal rod that activates the motor.
