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

Food is unevenly chopped Either you are trying to process too much food at one time, or you are running the machine con tinuously instead of pulsing on and off until pieces of food are no larger than 1/2-inch cubes.

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. 5 cups thick liquid.

The thicker the liquid, the more you can use. The figures above are for thick mixtures like pan cake 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.

Carrots or similar food falls over in leed 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 processed food. When food gets close to bottom of disc, empty work bowl.

A few pieces of food remain on lop ol 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 ol shredding disc

The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure on the pusher was too great. To shred soft cheese, do not push on the push er but let the cheese go through by itself. Tap on the pusher to guide it through.

CLEANING AND STORING Keep your Pro Classic™ Food Processor ready to use on a kitchen counter. When it's not being used, leave it unplugged. Don't leave it with the pusher assembly in locked position; this could damage the on-off mecha nism.

Store the blades and discs as you would sharp knives — out of the reach of children. The Disc and Blade Holders, optional acces sories, offer safe and convenient storage.

All parts except for the motor base are dishwasher-safe, and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher. Insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you place sharp blades and discs, and unload the dishwasher care fully.

To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher assem bly and blade or disc immediately after use so food won't dry on them. 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 or by 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 it rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray attachment 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.

The tube at the back of the bowl houses the metal rod that activates the motor.
