TROUBLESHOOTING

If your food processor should fail to operate, check the following:

Make sure the work bowl and work bowl cover are properly locked on the base, and the food pusher is inserted to the maximum fill line on the feed tube.

See if the food processor is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the food processor, then plug it into the same outlet again. If the food processor still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the food processor is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.

If the food processor shuts off while it is running:

The food processor may be overheated. If the motor exceeds a certain temperature, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. This should be an extremely rare occurrence. If it happens, press the Off Button and wait

15 minutes for the food processor to cool before resuming. If the food processor still refuses to run, wait an additional 15 minutes for the food processor to cool.

If you have difficulty removing the food pusher from the feed tube:

Food particles are probably lodged in the interlock system. To free the pusher, soak the work bowl cover in warm water or wash it in a dishwasher.

If the problem cannot be corrected with the steps in this section, see the KitchenAid Warranty and Service section on page 93*.

* Do not return the food processor to the retailer – they do not provide service.
