Frequently Asked Questions - FPSTMC1250 OSTER

How do I use the pulse function?

The pulse function provides short bursts of power for controlled chopping or mixing. Press and release the pulse button repeatedly to achieve desired consistency.

Can I process hot ingredients in the food processor?

No, do not process hot liquids or foods. Allow them to cool to room temperature before processing to avoid damage to the bowl and burns.

How should I clean the blade?

Handle the stainless steel blade with care. Wash it separately in warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher. Always use a brush to clean the blade and avoid direct contact.

Why won't my food processor start?

Ensure the bowl and lid are properly locked into place. The safety interlock system prevents operation if these parts are not securely assembled. Also check that the unit is plugged in and the speed dial is set.

Can I crush ice with this food processor?

Yes, you can crush ice using the pulse function. Do not use continuous run; pulse a few times until ice is crushed to desired consistency.

What is the maximum liquid capacity?

Do not fill the bowl beyond the maximum fill line. For liquids, this is typically around 4 cups (1 L). Overfilling may cause leakage or splashing.

How should I store the shredding/slicing disc?

Store the disc inside the bowl with the lid secured, or place it in a dry drawer. The disc is reversible for shredding and slicing.

Is the bowl BPA-free?

Yes, the work bowl is made of BPA-free plastic for safe food processing.

Can I knead dough with this food processor?

Yes, this model can handle dough kneading. Use the appropriate dough blade (included) and follow the maximum dough capacity guidelines to avoid overloading.

How do I replace parts if needed?

For replacement parts, contact Oster customer service or visit the official website. Use only genuine Oster parts to ensure safety and performance.

(For 120 & 127 Volts Only)

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SHORT POWER SUPPLY CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
