1. What functions can the Homtone 16 Cup Food Processor perform?
The Homtone 16 Cup Food Processor is an 8-in-1 appliance. It can handle tasks such as chopping, mincing, slicing, shredding, kneading, whipping egg whites, and whipping cream. It's great for kneading large quantities of dough and chopping a substantial amount of vegetables.

2. How do I start the food processor?
To start the machine, you can turn the knob to either “M” (custom mode) or one of the 6 preset modes: Pulse, Whipping cream, Whisking for Egg White, Dough mixing, Chop, or Auto Clean. Once you've selected the mode, the blue light will come on. Then, press the knob to start or stop the function. In the “M” mode, you have the freedom to control the time and speed according to your needs.

3. What's the difference between the preset modes and the custom “M” mode?
The preset modes are designed for specific tasks. For example, the “Whipping cream” mode is optimized for whipping cream, and the “Dough mixing” mode is tailored for kneading dough. These modes have pre-set time and speed settings for efficient processing. In contrast, the “M” (custom) mode allows you to freely control both the time and speed, giving you more flexibility for various food processing requirements.

4. How much can the food processor hold?
The food processor has a total capacity of 16 cups, but its working capacity is 14 cups. It's important not to exceed the working capacity to ensure proper and efficient operation.

5. What should I do if the food processor doesn't start?
First, make sure that the bowl is properly locked to the base and the top is locked to the bowl. You need to rotate the bowl clockwise until the black arrow on the bowl aligns with the lock pattern on the base, and do the same for the top cover. Also, check that the pins of the 3-in-1 pusher are inserted into the bowl, as the machine won't work otherwise. Additionally, ensure that the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.

6. Can I use the food processor to process hard ingredients?
Yes, you can. If you need to process harder ingredients, you can use the appropriate preset mode or adjust the speed in the “M” mode. For example, you can use the “Chop” preset mode or increase the speed when in the custom “M” mode. You may also find the “Pulse” function useful for quickly breaking down harder ingredients.

7. How do I clean the food processor?
You can use the “Auto Clean” preset mode. Add a small amount of water and a few drops of detergent to the bowl, then select the “Auto Clean” mode. After that, rinse the bowl and accessories thoroughly. Most of the accessories (except the base) can be washed in a dishwasher. Just make sure the water temperature in the dishwasher doesn't exceed 140°F and use the right amount of detergent.

8. What are the different accessories included, and how do I use them?
The food processor comes with 6 accessories. There are 3 stainless steel blades: a french fried potato julienne disc for cutting potatoes into thin strips, a 2 in 1 blade (rough slicer & julienne disc) for slicing and julienning, and a shredder disc for shredding ingredients. There are 2 S-blades: a stainless steel blade and a plastic blade, which are mainly used for chopping and mincing. Additionally, there is a whisking disc used for whisking egg whites or cream (make sure the cream is refrigerated before using). To use an accessory, simply install it firmly in the center of the bowl according to the task you want to perform.

9. Is it safe to put the accessories in the dishwasher?
Yes, you can put most of the accessories (excluding the base) in the dishwasher for cleaning. However, it's crucial to ensure that the water temperature in the dishwasher does not exceed 140°F and to use the appropriate amount of detergent. This will help maintain the quality and longevity of the accessories.
