TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes potential problems and the correct solutions for them. Problems that cannot be
solved with the guidelines listed below should be referred to one of the Waring Authorized Service Centers
for assistance. A listing of authorized service agencies is supplied with each Waring food processor.
Unit does not start when assembled correctly
• Pull the plug and try plugging into another outlet.
• Turn ON lever to ON.
• Make sure the bowl is properly positioned on the motor base, that the bowl or chute cover is on
properly, and that the safety interlock tab on the cover has properly engaged the safety interlock switch
in the tower.
Unit stops running during processing
• Turn unit OFF.
• Remove bowl attachment.
• Remove food being processed from inside the bowl.
• Reassemble unit, and run first with the bowl empty, then add food back into the bowl and try again.
Unit will not come up to full speed
• Bowl is overloaded – remove food being processed and reload using smaller quantities.
If unit does not operate after you have followed the above,
and have tried the Safety Reset Switch
• Check outlet to be sure there is current.
• Check to be sure circuit breaker is ON.
• Check to be sure the fuse is not blown if there are fuses on this circuit.
• Call local Waring service agency.
If unit starts to spark or smoke
• Turn unit off, unplug it, and call local factory-authorized service agency.
If food processor makes grinding noise
• Turn unit off, unplug, disassemble, check bowl and blade to see if they have been rubbing together.
• If bowl and blade are rubbing, call your authorized Waring service agency.
Grating Operation
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large
seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.
• Select which feed tube to use. Horizontal placement of carrots will result in a long grated product, while
using the smaller chute and inserting the food vertically will give you a short grated product.
• For cheese grating or shredding it is recommended that the cheese be chilled first; otherwise it may
become gummy. A fine coating of cornstarch applied to the cheese can aid in keeping food separated;
cornstarch is tasteless and not visible.
• For grating cheese, it is recommended that a slight pulsating pressure be applied with the pusher, alternat-
ing push/no push until the cheese block is completely grated. Cheese grating puts more strain on the food
processor motor than other tasks and may cause overheating if too much pressure is applied in a continu-
ous manner.
• You can typically expect to grate ten (10) pounds of cheese in about five (5) minutes. It is recommended
that you plan your food preparation in a manner that will allow for five minutes of grating, followed by 5
minutes of food preparation while the machine rests. After fifteen (15) minutes of continuous cheese grat-
ing, allow the machine to cool.

FP25 and FP25C food processors come with a selection of six (6) different julienne plates with sizes up to

bles such as zucchini squash. For larger cuts, use the BFP30, which is 5 ⁄

• These julienne accessories can also chop or mince products such as onions or bell peppers that are quar-
tered and gravity-fed through the larger feed tube. Foods including carrots and celery can be chopped
with these discs by inserting them into the feed tube vertically.
• Tomatoes can be diced with these 6.5mm, 8mm, and 10mm square julienne discs by quartering the toma-
to and processing using this plate. It is recommended that you use firm tomatoes.
• These and other julienne discs can be use to produce squash sticks, chopped celery, finely chopped onions
and julienne celery root.
• Meats and cheeses must not be processed with a julienne accessory. Damage may result.
Julienne Operation
• Prepare all food items to be processed by washing and peeling as required. Remove pits, stones, and large
seeds. Be sure the food will fit into the proper feed chute.
• If a long horizontal cut is desired, for example with squash sticks, the food must be placed in the feed
chute horizontally, or on its side. For finely chopped food results, for example with chopped celery or
finely chopped onions, you must insert the vegetables vertically, or standing up. For a very fine chop of
onions, quarter the onion and gravity-feed it through the chute.
