840203900 ENv02.qxd:Layout 1 4/25/11 2:09 PM Page 12 Troubleshooting PROBLEM Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse. Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly. Unit stops and will not come back on. Unit has a burning smell. Motor seems weak. It is difficult to remove bowl from base. PROBABLE CAUSE • Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work? • Are the bowl and lid locked in place? See "How to Use" sections. • Packing too much food in the food chute or pushing too hard on the food pusher may cause the processed food to be irregulary sliced or shredded. Refer to the food processing charts for recommended sizes and quantities. • Are the bowl and lid locked in place? They may have moved slighty during processing. See "How to Use" sections. • Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker. • Turn unit OFF (O), allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back ON. If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number to get the name of your nearest Authorized Service Center. • There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELY and call the Customer Service number. • Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer to the Food Processing Charts for recommended food sizes and speeds. • Rub a small amount of vegetable oil on the snaps, located on the base. Do not lock bowl and lid during storage. 12
