PROBABLE CAUSE
• Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?
• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? See "How to Use" sections.
• If using small bowl, adapter shaft may be missing and must be placed on motor shaft for S-blade to operate.
• Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the
processed food to be irregulary sliced or shredded.
• Recommended speed for slicing and shredding disc should be 1 for cheeses and 1 or 2 for vegetables
or fruit.
• Refer to the food processing charts for recommended sizes, speeds, and quantities.
• Are the bowl, bowl lid, and food chute lid all locked in place? They may have moved slighty during
processing. See "How to Use" sections.
• Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have
overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker.
• Turn unit OFF , allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back ON. If none of these suggestions
correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number to get the
name of your nearest Authorized Service Center.
• There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor
during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit
IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number.
• Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food Processing
Charts for recommended food sizes and speeds.
