TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Food is unevenly chopped.
Processor bowl is overfilled.
You may be running the bowl
continuously instead of using
Pulse.
Food may be cut in random sizes.
Smaller amounts will process more
evenly.
Use the Pulse button in 5 second
intervals or less. Allow the blades to stop
completely before pressing the PULSE
button again.
Cut food into 2cm pieces before placing
in processor.
Liquid leaks from the bottom of
the processor bowl.
Too much liquid in the processor
bowl.
Process smaller amounts.
When processing only liquids, do not fill
the processor bowl past max
Do not remove the blade before
removing processor bowl from the motor
unit when processing liquids.
Sliced foods are uneven and
slanted.
The feed chute has not been well
packed or uneven pressure has
been applied to the food pusher
during processing.
Cut pieces in even lengths, just a little
shorter than the length of the feed chute.
Pack the chute carefully and maintain
even pressure on the food pusher as the
food is being processed.
Foods being sliced or grated fill
up on one side of the bowl.
This is normal.
Stop processing occasionally and either
even out the food in the processor bowl
or move it to another bowl.
When food accumulates close to the
disc, empty the processor bowl before
continuing.
Some pieces of food remain on
top of the slicing and grating
disc.
This is normal.
Slice or grate those pieces by hand or
save for another use, eg. soups that will
be pureed.
Soft cheese collects on top of
the slicing and grating disc.
The cheese was not cold enough.
The pressure exerted on the
pusher was too great.
Be sure soft cheeses are well chilled or
place in freezer until knife inserted into
cheese penetrates about 12mm.
Remember food pusher is to be used as
a guide; never exert hard pressure on the
food pusher.
