3. 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.
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 uniformly soft and pliable.
7. Problem: Dough is too dry.
Solution:
•
While machine is running, add water,
1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, until dough cleans
the inside of the bowl.
8. Problem: Dough is too wet.
Solution:
•
While machine is running, add flour,
1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, until dough cleans
the inside of the bowl.
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
to make sure it is securely in position.
•
A safety protector in the motor prevents the
motor from overheating, which is caused by
excessive strain. Press the Off control button
and wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow the food
processor to cool off before resuming.
3. Problem: The motor slowed down during
operation.
Solution:
•
This is normal as some heavier loads
(e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) may require the
motor to work harder. Simply reposition the food
in the feed tube and try again.
•
The maximum load capacity may have been
exceeded. Remove some of the ingredients and
continue processing.
4. Problem: The food processor vibrated/moved
around the countertop during processing.
Solution:
•
Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom of the
unit are clean and dry. Also make sure that the
maximum load capacity is not being
exceeded.
•
This is normal as some heavier loads
(e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) may require the
motor to work harder.
