EASY SOLUTION
•
Ingredients should be cut evenly into 1 inch (2.5cm) pieces before processing.
•
Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading.
•
Place evenly cut food into the feed chute.
•
Apply even pressure on the pusher.
•
The large feed chute must be packed full for best results.
If processing smaller quantities, place items to the far left in the feed chute, or
use the small or medium feed chute, depending on the food size.
•
It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing.
•
Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity.
Remove half and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too wet (see below). If motor speeds up, continue processing. If
not, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds up. Process
until dough cleans the side of the processing bowl.
•
Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum capacity. Remove half
and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too dry (see below).
•
Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in processing bowl.
Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable.
•
While machine is running, add water through the small feed chute, 1 tablespoon
at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl.
•
While machine is running, add flour through the small feed chute, 1 tablespoon
at a time until dough cleans the inside of the processing bowl.
•
Reduce process time. Stop the machine when dough balls just formed. This will
take about 45-60 seconds.
