Important Safeguards
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the appliance, please read and adhere to the following safety precautions:
- Always ensure the processing bowl and lid are fully and correctly locked into place before operating the food processor. The unit will not start if components are not securely assembled.
- Keep hands and utensils out of the processing bowl while operating to prevent injury. Use the food pushers provided for guiding ingredients.
- Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Clean the motor base with a damp cloth only.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.
- This appliance is equipped with overheating protection. If the motor stops due to overheating, unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before resuming use.
- Ensure the food processor is placed on a stable, flat, and dry surface during operation to prevent movement or tipping. The anti-slip feet provide stability.
- Exercise caution when handling sharp blades and discs. Always hold them by the plastic hub.

Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to correctly assemble your food processor before use:
This video demonstrates the step-by-step assembly of the FOHERE 12-Cup Food Processor, including attaching the bowl to the motor base, inserting the blades, and securing the lid and food pushers.
- Place the motor base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
- Align the processing bowl with the motor base and turn it clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure the handle is aligned with the locking mark on the base.
- Insert the desired blade or disc onto the center stem inside the bowl. For chopping or mixing, use the stainless steel S-blade. For kneading dough, use the plastic S-blade. For slicing or shredding, place the reversible disc onto the stem.
- Place the lid onto the processing bowl, aligning the feed tube on the lid with the handle on the bowl. Turn the lid clockwise until it clicks and locks into position. The unit will not operate unless the bowl and lid are properly locked.
- Insert the large food pusher into the feed chute. For smaller items, the small food pusher can be inserted into the large one. The unit will not operate until the large food pusher engages the protective interlock.
This visual guide illustrates the five primary steps for setting up and using the food processor: 1. Place the bowl over the center stem and turn clockwise to lock onto the base. 2. Put the reversible slicing/shredding disc into the bowl. 3. Place the lid on the bowl, turning clockwise until it locks. 4. Add food ingredients to the mouth feed tube. 5. Power on and take out food.
This image highlights the dual feed tube design, featuring both a large and a small opening. It also emphasizes the crucial safety note: the unit will not operate until the large food pusher is fully engaged, activating the protective interlock. Do not add food above the MAX fill line.
Operating Instructions
The FOHERE Food Processor offers two speeds (Low and High) and a Pulse setting for precise control over various food preparation tasks.
This image provides a clear view of the control panel, featuring four distinct buttons: OFF, Low speed, High speed, and Pulse. These controls allow for versatile operation depending on the food type and desired consistency.
This image illustrates the recommended speed settings: "Low" is ideal for processing soft foods such as fruits, berries, cheese, and dough. "High" is suitable for harder ingredients like meat, carrots, potatoes, and apples.
Chopping and Mincing
Use the stainless steel S-blade for chopping, mincing, and pureeing ingredients.
This video segment demonstrates the food processor's ability to chop and mince various ingredients, including meat for grinding and vegetables for sauces, using the stainless steel S-blade.
This image showcases the food processor's versatility, demonstrating how it can chop onions, create tomato lumps, and mix pumpkin puree, among other functions.
- Ensure the stainless steel S-blade is securely placed on the center stem.
- Add ingredients to the processing bowl. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
- Secure the lid and food pusher.
- Select the 'Low' or 'High' speed depending on the ingredient's hardness, or use the 'Pulse' setting for coarse chopping or to control consistency.
- Process until desired consistency is achieved.

Slicing and Shredding
Utilize the reversible slicing/shredding disc for uniform slices or shredded ingredients.
This video segment illustrates the food processor's slicing and shredding capabilities using the reversible disc, demonstrating how to process carrots into shreds and cucumbers into uniform slices.
- Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc onto the center stem. Ensure the desired side (slicing or shredding) is facing up.
- Add ingredients through the feed chute. Use the food pusher to guide ingredients evenly.
- Select the 'High' speed for optimal results.
- Collect processed ingredients from the bowl.

Kneading Dough
The plastic S-blade is specifically designed for kneading dough.
This video segment demonstrates the food processor's dough kneading function using the plastic S-blade, showing how it effectively mixes and kneads dough to the desired consistency.
- Attach the plastic S-blade to the center stem.
- Add dry ingredients to the bowl.
- With the motor running on 'Low' speed, gradually add liquid ingredients through the feed chute until a dough ball forms.
- Continue processing until the dough reaches the desired consistency.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your FOHERE Food Processor and ensure optimal performance.
This video segment demonstrates the ease of cleaning the FOHERE food processor components under running water, highlighting their dishwasher-safe design.
This image illustrates the two convenient cleaning methods for the food processor's removable parts: they are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup, or can be quickly cleaned by hand under running water.
- Unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Disassemble all removable parts: bowl, lid, blades/discs, and food pushers.
- The processing bowl, lid, and all attachments are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Alternatively, wash all removable parts by hand using warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.
- Store the food processor with all parts assembled or neatly organized to prevent loss or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your FOHERE Food Processor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on. | Bowl or lid not properly locked, or food pusher not engaged. | Ensure the processing bowl is twisted clockwise until it locks, and the lid is securely clicked into place. The large food pusher must also be fully engaged in the feed chute. |
| Motor stops during operation. | Overheating protection activated due to heavy load or prolonged use. | Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before attempting to use it again. Reduce the load or process ingredients in smaller batches. |
| Ingredients are not processing evenly. | Too many ingredients, ingredients too large, or incorrect speed/blade. | Process in smaller batches. Ensure ingredients are cut into appropriate sizes for the feed chute. Use the Pulse function for better control over consistency. Verify the correct blade/disc is installed for the task. |
| Loud noise or excessive vibration. | Improper assembly, unstable surface, or unbalanced load. | Check that all components are correctly assembled and locked. Ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface. Distribute ingredients evenly in the bowl. |
