pusher to clear the food chute. When this method is not possible, turn the
motor off and disassemble unit to remove the remaining food.
• The maximum rating of this unit is based on using the Chopping Blade. Using
the Slicing/Shredding Disc may draw signicantly less power.
The MFP400 is a 2-in-1 kitchen appliance that is both a food processor and
chopper.
To change between the two modes, simply choose which blades and which lids to
use and add them to the top of the bowl.
The Food Processor
It has a long food chute which allows you to add a variety of ingredients into the
bowl from above whilst a at circular disk rotates and slices/grates the food into
the bowl. This is perfect for slicing onions, celery, carrots and grating cheese.
The Chopper
This element is like a mini-blender; it has a sharp 2-part blade that is inserted into
the bottom of the bowl and rotates to evenly chop and blend the ingredients in the
bowl to your desired consistency. This is perfect for dicing veg into tiny pieces,
pureeing food and also for making sauces.
Safety Information (continued)

NOTE: the food processor will not work unless
the bowl is locked into position.
How to Assemble and Lock the Lid
Align the Lid(4 or 7) as illustrated by placing a
thumb on the lid and turning it clockwise. Four
visual alignment markers are provided: one on
the bowl, one on the handle and two on the bowl

Troubleshooting
Potential
Problem Probable Cause / Solution
The food
processor does
not operate on
any speed or
pulse.
1. Is the machine plugged in? Does the mains socket work ok?
2. Are the bowl, lid and feed chute all locked in place? See section
called ‘Before First Use’
Food is not
chopped, sliced
or shredded
uniformly.
Packing too much food in the feed chute, or pushing too hard on the
feed pusher may cause the processed food to be irregularly sliced or
shredded.
Unit stops and
will not come
back on.
1. Are the bowl and feed chute lid all locked in place? They may
have moved slightly during processing.
2. Is the mains plug socket 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.
3. Turn the food processor OFF, allow it to stand for 3 to 4 minutes,
then turn back ON.
If none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt
to repair the unit. Contact the Duronic Customer Care Team for
further assistance.
Unit has a
burning smell.
There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing
process, causing a slight odour during initial use. This will go away.
If a strong odour or any visible smoke appears, unplug the food
processor IMMEDIATELY and contact the Duronic Customer Care
Team.
Motor seems
weak.
1. Are you using the recommended speed for the food you are
processing?
2. Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be
processed?
