necessary, scrape the bowl and process for a further 5 seconds.
D Troubleshooting
The food is unevenly processed

The ingredients should be cut evenly into 2.5cm pieces before processing. Process in
batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are uneven or slanted

Place evenly cut food into the feed tube. Apply even pressure on the pusher.
Food falls over in feed tube

Large feed tube must be packed full for best results. If processing smaller quantities, use
the small feed tube.
Some food remains on top of the disc

It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut remaining bits by hand and add to processed
ingredients.
Motor slows down

Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and
process in two batches. Dough may be too wet. If motor speeds up, continue processing.
If not, add more fl our, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds up. Process until
dough cleans the side of the work bowl.
Blade doesn't incorporate ingredients

Always start the food processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream,
allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it. If too much liquid is added, wait until ingredients
in the work bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid (do not turn off the appliance).
Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed tube opening; do not pour liquid directly
onto bottom of the work bowl.
Blade rises in work bowl

Blade may not have been pushed down into the lock position before starting the processor.
Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise. If this happens, reinsert blade and
immediately add 2 tablepsoons of fl our through the feed tube while the machine is running.
