Can I add liquids while the processor is running?

Troubleshooting
The food processor will not turn on.
Ensure the processing bowl is correctly twisted and locked onto the motor base, and the lid is securely locked into place. Most food processors have safety interlocks that prevent operation if not assembled properly. Also, check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
Ingredients are not chopping or blending evenly.
Avoid overfilling the 600ml bowl; process ingredients in smaller batches if necessary. For chopping, use the pulse function in short bursts to achieve a more even consistency. Ensure ingredients are cut into similar-sized pieces before adding them to the bowl.
Motor seems to struggle or makes an unusual noise.
Immediately turn off and unplug the processor. This could indicate an overloaded motor or an obstruction. Remove some ingredients if the bowl is too full, or check for any hard objects that might be jamming the blades. Allow the motor to cool down if it has been running continuously for an extended period.

Always handle blades with extreme caution as they are very sharp.
