EASY SOLUTION
•
There is a safety interlock switch to prevent the motor from starting if it is
not properly assembled. Make sure the processing bowl and lid 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 chute are cut below the maximum fill
line so that the activation rod can engage the motor.
•
Make sure the large food pusher is inserted in the feed chute low enough to
engage safety interlock switch.
•
If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and power outlet.
•
The lid may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely in
position.
•
If the motor overloads, the 'OVERLOAD' icon in the LCD will start to flash.
Switch off by pressing the POWER | OFF button and unplug the power cord.
Allow the food processor to cool for 20–30 minutes before resuming.
•
This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g. slicing/shredding cheese) may
require the motor to work harder. Reposition the food in the feed chute and
continue processing.
•
The maximum load capacity may have been exceeded. Remove some of the
ingredients and continue processing.
•
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 may require the motor to work harder.
•
Make sure that food does not exceed the max line in the food chute.
•
If pusher is fully inserted and this warning flashes on the screen, check that
the bowl and lid are assembled correctly. Bowl handle should be facing the
front of the unit.
•
Stop the machine, very carefully remove the dicing disc. Using the cleaning
cap, clear out the food built up in the dicing grid and dicing disc.
•
Some foods are too hard for the dicer to process, and cause the motor to stop.
Some foods need to be par-cooked, check the food processing guide.
