I. The Food Processor Doesn't Start

1. Power Supply Issue:
   • Check if the power cord is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet has power by testing it with another electrical device.
   • If the power cord appears damaged, do not use the food processor and contact customer service for a replacement cord.
2. Locking Mechanism Problem:
   • The food processor has a double locking protection system. Make sure that the bowl is securely locked to the base. Rotate the bowl clockwise until the black arrow on the bowl aligns with the lock pattern on the base.
   • Also, check if the top is locked to the bowl. If either the bowl or the top is not locked correctly, the machine will not start. Adjust the positions and lock them properly.
3. Speed Setting Issue:
   • Ensure that the speed selector is not in the "0" position. After correctly installing the required parts, select an appropriate speed gear (1, 2, or Pulse) for food processing. If it is in the "0" position, the food processor will not operate.

II. The Food Processor is Making Unusual Noises

1. Blade Installation:
   • Check if the blade is properly installed. An incorrectly installed blade can cause vibrations and unusual noises. Remove the blade and reinstall it according to the user manual, making sure it is firmly attached to the drive shaft in the center of the bowl.
   • If the blade is damaged or worn out, it may also produce strange noises. Inspect the blade for any signs of damage, such as chips or cracks. If damaged, replace the blade with a new one from the accessory set.
2. Overloading the Bowl:
   • The food processor has a working capacity of 14 cups. If you have added too many ingredients to the bowl, it can cause the motor to work harder and produce unusual noises. Remove some of the ingredients to ensure that you are within the recommended working capacity.
3. Foreign Objects in the Bowl:
   • Check if there are any foreign objects, such as small utensils or pieces of hard debris, in the bowl. These can interfere with the blade's operation and cause strange noises. Remove any foreign objects before continuing to use the food processor.

III. The Food Processor is Not Processing Ingredients Properly

1. Incorrect Speed Selection:
   • If you are processing softer food, make sure you are using the "1" setting. For harder ingredients, use the "2" or "Pulse" gear. Using the wrong speed can result in uneven processing or the food processor struggling to process the ingredients. Adjust the speed according to the type of ingredient.
2. Dull Blades:
   • Over time, the blades may become dull. If you notice that the food processor is not chopping, slicing, or shredding ingredients as efficiently as before, it may be due to dull blades. You can try sharpening the blades if possible, or replace them with new ones from the accessory set.
3. Incorrect Blade Selection:
   • Ensure that you have selected the appropriate blade for the task. For example, if you want to slice vegetables thinly, use the fine slicer blade. If you are using the wrong blade, the ingredients may not be processed as desired. Refer to the user manual to select the correct blade for each type of food processing.

IV. The Whisk or Emulsifying Disc is Not Working Properly

1. Attachment Installation:
   • Check if the whisk or emulsifying disc is properly attached to the drive shaft. It should be firmly inserted and locked in place. If it is loose, it may not rotate properly and will not be able to whip egg whites, cream, or emulsify ingredients effectively. Remove and reinstall the attachment correctly.
2. Ingredient Consistency:
   • For whipping egg whites or cream, make sure the ingredients are at the right temperature and consistency. Cold ingredients usually whip better. Also, do not overfill the bowl when using the whisk. If you are emulsifying, ensure that the ingredients are added in the correct order and proportions as per the recipe.

V. Difficulty in Cleaning the Food Processor

1. Dishwasher Compatibility:
   • Remember that only the accessories except the base can be washed in a dishwasher. The water temperature in the dishwasher must not exceed 140°F, and you need to add the right amount of detergent. If the accessories are not getting clean in the dishwasher, it may be due to insufficient detergent or water that is too hot or too cold. Adjust the dishwasher settings accordingly.
2. Stubborn Stains or Residue:
   • For stubborn stains or residue on the bowl or blades, you can soak them in warm, soapy water for a while before washing. Use a soft sponge or brush to gently scrub the stains. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they can damage the surface of the bowl and blades.
