Troubleshooting
The food processor won't turn on.
Ensure the work bowl and lid are properly locked into place. Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the food processor and the electrical outlet. If the issue persists, check your circuit breaker.
Food is not processed evenly.
Make sure you are not overfilling the work bowl. Cut ingredients into uniform sizes and use the pusher tube to guide the food. Try pulsing the machine instead of running it continuously.
The blade is not spinning.
