• If need be, attach the middle Pusher from
the Food Processor Lid Feed Tube to use
as a handle and align the Cleaning Tool's
two long pins along the right and left of
the grid. Guide the Cleaning Tool to
position and push down firmly to remove
food residue from grid.
Problem: Pieces of food are not evenly cut.
Solution:
• Pack items closest to the left in medium
or small Feed Tube.
• Use the small Feed Tube for smaller items.
• Apply even pressure when using Feed Tube.
Dough Kneading
Problem: Motor slows down.
Solution:
• 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 flour,
1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, until the
motor speeds up. Process until dough
cleans the sides of the Work Bowl.
Problem: Blade doesn't incorporate
ingredients.
Solution:
• Always start the Food Processor before
adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady
stream, or through the drizzle hole in the
Pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to
absorb it. If liquid is added too quickly,
wait until ingredients in the Work Bowl have
mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly
(do not turn off the machine).
• Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under
Feed Tube opening; do not pour liquid
directly onto bottom of the Work Bowl.
Problem: Blade rises in Work Bowl.
Solution:
• Excessively sticky dough can cause blade
to rise. Carefully reinsert blade and
immediately add 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
of flour through the Feed Tube while the
machine is running.
