PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAuSE
SOLuTION
Food is unevenly
chopped.
Workbowl 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
increments or less. Allow the blades to
stop completely before pressing the
PULSE button again.
Cut food in same size pieces before
placing in processor.
Liquid leaks from the
bottom of the
workbowl.
Too much liquid in the
workbowl.
Process smaller amounts.
When processing liquids, do not add
more than 3 cups to workbowl.
Do not remove the blade before
removing workbowl from processor
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 workbowl or
move it to another bowl.
When food accumulates close to the
disc, empty the workbowl before
continuing.
Some pieces of food
remain on top of the
slice/grate disc.
This is normal.
Slice or grate those pieces by hand or
save for another use, like soups that will
be pureed.
Soft cheese collects
on top of the slice/
grate 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.
