  8.  

Problem:

 Dough feels tough after kneading

   

Solution:

 

    •  Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and 

redistribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 

seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable.

  9.  

Problem:

 Dough is too dry.

   

Solution:

 

    •  While machine is running, add water, 1 

tablespoon at a time until dough cleans 

the inside of the bowl.

10. 

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 you are slicing or shredding and the 

above solution does not work, make sure 

that the food contents in the feed tube 

are cut below the maximum fill line so 

that the activation rod can engage the 

motor.

 

  •  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 to 15 minutes 

to allow the food processor to cool off 

before resuming.

3.   

Problem:

 The food processor cover 

becomes unlatched in the back and or 

makes a loud noise.

 

 

Solution:

 

 

  •  The back of the cover becoming 

unlatched, and any related noise, will not 

prevent the unit from working. Simply 

push down to lock the back into position.

4.   

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.

5.   

Problem:

 It is difficult to remove the 

chopping/mixing blade from the work bowl.

 

 

Solution:

 

 

  •  These innovative blades have been 

designed to lock in the work bowl to 

prevent them from falling out when 

emptying the contents of the bowl. Using 

extreme care, use a little extra force to 

remove the blade.

6.   

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. 

7.   

Problem:

 The large pusher falls out when 

the cover is turned upside down.

 

 

Solution:

 

 

  •  The pusher lock feature, located above 

the handle, should be pulled out.
