What to do if soft cheese collects on the disk of my Black & Decker Food Processor?
- S
  Stanley DavisJul 26, 2025
  If soft cheese collects on top of the slicing and shredding disk in your Black & Decker Food Processor, it could be that the cheese wasn't cold enough, or too much pressure was exerted on the pusher. Be sure soft cheeses are well chilled, or place them in the freezer until a knife inserted into the cheese penetrates about ½-inch. Remember the food pusher is to be used as a guide; never exert hard pressure on the food pusher.

Why is food unevenly chopped in my Black & Decker FP1600B Food Processor?
- E
  Evelyn LiJul 31, 2025
  If the food is being unevenly chopped in your Black & Decker Food Processor, it could be due to several reasons. First, the work bowl might be overfilled. Smaller amounts process more evenly. Second, you might be running the bowl continuously instead of using the PULSE button. Use the PULSE button in 5-second or less increments, allowing the blade to stop completely before pressing it again. Lastly, the food may be cut in random sizes. Ensure you cut food into same size pieces before placing it in the processor.

What to do if liquid leaks from the bottom of my Black & Decker FP1600B?

  Thomas PhillipsAug 6, 2025
  If liquid is leaking from the bottom of the workbowl of your Black & Decker Food Processor, it's likely because there's too much liquid in the workbowl. To resolve this, process smaller amounts. When processing liquids, do not add more than 3 cups to the workbowl. Also, do not remove the blade before removing the workbowl from the processor when processing liquids.

Why are sliced foods uneven and slanted in my Black & Decker Food Processor?
- D
  Dennis VargasAug 11, 2025
  If sliced foods are uneven and slanted when using your Black & Decker Food Processor, the issue might be related to how the feed chute is packed or the pressure applied to the food pusher. Cut pieces in even lengths, just a little shorter than the length of the feed chute. Pack the chute carefully and maintain even pressure on the food pusher as the food is being processed.

Why do foods fill up on one side of the Black & Decker Food Processor bowl?
- A
  Andrew MooreAug 15, 2025
  It's normal for foods being sliced or shredded to fill up on one side of the bowl in your Black & Decker Food Processor. To manage this, stop processing occasionally and either even out the food in the workbowl or move it to another bowl. When food accumulates close to the disk, empty the workbowl before continuing.
