kill the yeast cells. All other liquid should
be cold.
Don't knead so long that dough becomes
overheated. The ideal temperature for
kneaded dough is 80°F (26°C); it should
never exceed 100°F (37°C).
Let dough rise in draft-free environment of
about 80°– 90°F (26°– 32°C).
Dough containing whole grain flour will
take longer to rise than dough made of
white flour only.
Baked bread is too heavy
Next time, feel dough to be sure it is
uniformly soft, pliable and slightly sticky
before setting aside to rise. Let dough
fully double in bulk in bowl or bag, punch
it down, then let it double again after it is
shaped.
PROBLEMS AND
SOLUTIONS WHEN

MAKING SWEET DOUGH

Motor slows down
• Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity. Remove half and process in
2 batches.
• Don't process too long after all
ingredients are incorporated. Rich
doughs will give you good results after
only 30 seconds of kneading.
Blade doesn't incorporate ingredients
Butter or margarine, if not melted, must
be cut into tablespoon-size pieces before
being added to work bowl.
Metal dough blade rises in work bowl
Blade may not have been pushed down as
far as possible before processing started.
Machine may be overloaded. Remove half
of dough and process in 2 batches.
Motor stops

CLEANING, STORAGE
AND MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed
by an authorized service representative.
Keep your food processor ready to use on
a kitchen counter. When not in use, leave
it unplugged.
Store the blades and discs as you would
sharp knives, out of the reach of children.
The disc and blade holders are optional
accessories that offer safe and
convenient storage.
All parts except the housing base are
dishwasher safe, and we recommend
washing them in the dishwasher on the top
rack. Due to intense water heat, washing
the work bowl, cover and accessories on
the bottom rack may cause damage over
time. Insert the work bowl upside down.
Remember to unload the dishwasher
carefully wherever you place sharp blades
and discs.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl,
cover, pusher assembly and blade or disc
immediately after use, so food won't dry
on them. Openings at the bottom of the
large pusher provide drainage and make
cleaning easy. If food lodges in the pusher,
remove it by running water through it, or
use a bottle brush.
If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it
carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water
where they may disappear from sight. To
clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with
soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic
center and move it rapidly up and down on
the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a
spray attachment is also effective. If
necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl is made of Lexan
(plastic), which is shatter resistant and
heat resistant. It should not be placed in
a microwave oven, as the aperture at the
front of the pusher houses the metal rod
that activates the motor.
TIP: When preparing a meal, make the
dishes with the least amount of wet
ingredients first. For example, make the
bread first – then you don't need to wash
the bowl before making the salad. In many
cases, wiping the bowl between recipes
