1. The Food Processor Doesn't Start
Possible Cause: The double locking protection mechanism is not properly engaged.
Solution: Check if the bowl is securely locked to the base and the top is locked to the bowl. Rotate the bowl clockwise on the base until the black arrow on the bowl aligns with the lock pattern. Similarly, rotate the top cover clockwise until it locks. If it still doesn't start, ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
2. The Blades Are Not Spinning Properly or Are Making Unusual Noises
Possible Cause 1: Incorrect blade installation. Maybe the blade is not firmly seated in the center of the bowl.
Solution: Unplug the food processor for safety. Remove the top cover and check if the blade is inserted correctly. Reinstall the blade, making sure it is tightly in place before starting the machine again.
Possible Cause 2: Overloading the food processor. Processing too many ingredients at once can cause the blades to struggle.
Solution: Reduce the amount of ingredients in the bowl. The food processor has a working capacity of 14 cups, so do not exceed this limit. If you need to process a large quantity, do it in batches.
Possible Cause 3: Using the wrong speed setting for the ingredients.
Solution: Refer to the speed settings guide. For softer foods, use the "1" setting. For harder ingredients, use the "2" or "Pulse" gear. Adjust the speed according to the nature of the ingredients you are processing.
3. The Food Processor Stops Working During Operation
Possible Cause 1: Overheating due to continuous use for an extended period.
Solution: Let the food processor cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before attempting to use it again. Avoid using it continuously for long periods to prevent overheating.
A circuit breaker tripping or a blown fuse in your electrical system.
Possible Cause 2: A circuit breaker tripping or a blown fuse in your electrical system.
Solution: Check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel to see if it has tripped. If so, reset it. If the problem persists, check if any fuses have blown and replace them if necessary.
4. The Emulsifying Function Isn't Working Well
Possible Cause 1: Incorrect use of the emulsifying disc. Maybe the ingredients are not in the right consistency or proportion.
Solution: Ensure that you are using the emulsifying disc correctly. For emulsifying, the ingredients should be at the appropriate temperature and consistency. Follow a proper recipe and add the ingredients gradually while the machine is running.
Possible Cause 2: The speed setting is not suitable for emulsifying.
Solution: Try adjusting the speed setting. A lower speed may be more suitable for starting the emulsification process, and then you can gradually increase the speed as the mixture comes together.
5. Difficulty in Cleaning the Accessories
Possible Cause: Food particles are stuck on the blades or other accessories, and the dishwasher cleaning is not sufficient.
Solution: If the accessories are not getting clean in the dishwasher, you can pre-soak them in warm, soapy water for a while before placing them in the dishwasher. Make sure to use the right amount of detergent and that the water temperature in the dishwasher does not exceed 140°F. For stubborn stains, you can use a soft brush to gently scrub the accessories by hand after the dishwasher cycle.
