Solution
Ensure that both the workbowl and the lid are locked into place on
the motor base. Your food processor is designed with a safety interlock that prevents the motor from running unless the lid and bowl are properly assembled. See the Assembling Your Food Processor section of this manual.
Ensure that your processor is plugged into a proper 120 VAC outlet. If your unit still does not turn on, check the circuit breaker or fuse for the outlet you are using and ensure that it is closed.
Ensure that you have not overloaded your food processor or that you are using the correct ratio of ingredients according to this manual. Should your motor become overheated, it is designed to turn itself off to protect itself from permanent damage. Press the OFF button to turn the power off and unplug the food processor from the wall outlet. Wait 15 minutes and then restart.
A steady gentle pressure is all that is required to process ingredients using the slicing blade.
For precision processing, use the Pulse button to desired consistency. Do not pulse the processor using the On/Off button.
