2. Problem: Blade doesn't incorporate ingredients.
Solution:
• Always start the food processor before adding liquid.
Add liquid in a slow, steady stream through the small
feed tube, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb the
liquid as fast as they can. If too much liquid is added,
wait until ingredients in the work bowl are incorporated,
then add remaining liquid slowly with the machine
running. Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed
tube opening; do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of
the work bowl.
3. Problem: Blade rises in work bowl.
Solution:
• Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise.
Carefully reinsert blade and immediately add 2
tablespoons of flour through the feed tube while
the machine is running.
4. Problem: Dough doesn't clean inside of the
work bowl.
Solution:
• Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity
of your food processor. Remove half and process
in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry (see number 7).
• Dough may be too wet (see number 8).
5. Problem: Nub of dough forms on top of blade
and does not become uniformly kneaded.
Solution:
• Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it
into 3 pieces, and redistribute them evenly in the
work bowl.

6. Problem: Dough feels tough after kneading.
Solution:
• Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute
evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uni-
formly soft and pliable.

Technical
1. Problem: The motor does not start.
Solution:
• There is a safety interlock to prevent the motor
from starting if it is not properly assembled. Make
sure the work bowl and work bowl cover are
securely locked into position.
• If the motor still will not start, check the power
cord and outlet.
2. Problem: The food processor shuts off
during operation.
Solution:
• The cover may have become unlocked; check
