Product Components

Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your FOHERE Food Processor:
- Place Non-slip Mat: Position the non-slip rubber mat on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
- Select Bowl: Choose either the glass bowl or the stainless steel bowl based on your food preparation needs and place it on the non-slip mat.
- Install Blades: Carefully insert the blade assembly into the spindle pin located at the bottom of the chosen bowl. Ensure the blades are securely seated. (Refer to Figure 2 for blade assembly details. Wear gloves when handling blades to avoid injury.)
- Add Ingredients: Place your pre-cut ingredients into the bowl. Do not exceed the 'MAX' fill line.
- Attach Lid: Place the bowl's lid onto the bowl, ensuring it is properly aligned and securely closed.

Operating Instructions
The FOHERE Food Processors HB-JR07 is designed for efficient chopping, mincing, and pureeing of various ingredients. It features a simple push-to-start operation.
General Operation
- After assembly and adding ingredients, press and hold the button on top of the motor unit to start processing.
- Release the button to stop the motor. Continuously check the consistency of your food and continue processing if a finer texture is desired.
- The appliance features a hidden safety switch that prevents operation if the motor unit is not correctly matched with the lid and bowl.
Processing Different Food Types

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not start. | Not plugged in; motor unit not correctly assembled; safety switch not engaged. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Reassemble the motor unit, lid, and bowl, ensuring they are properly aligned and locked. |
| Food is not chopped evenly. | Too much food in the bowl; ingredients are too large; insufficient processing time. | Reduce the amount of food. Cut ingredients into smaller, more uniform pieces. Process for longer or use pulse function. |
| Motor stops during operation. | Overheating protection activated; motor unit lifted from lid. | Unplug and let the motor cool down for 15-20 minutes. Ensure the motor unit remains pressed down firmly during operation. |
| Loud noise or vibration. | Blades not properly installed; uneven load in the bowl. | Check that the blade assembly is securely seated. Distribute ingredients evenly in the bowl. |
