EASY SOLUTION
• Ingredients should be cut evenly into 2.5 cm pieces before processing.
• Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading.
• Apply even pressure on the pusher.
• Food sliced tall and thick, use the large feed chute. The large feed chute must be
packed full for best results. Use a smaller feed chute where possible, and depending
on the food size.
• It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing.
• Amount of dough must not exceed maximum recommended quantity on the recipe.
Remove half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry. If motor speeds up, continue processing.
If not, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the motor speeds up.
Process until dough cleans the side of the processing bowl.
• Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum capacity.
Remove half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry.
• Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them
evenly in the processing bowl.
• Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in processing bowl.
Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable. Allowing dough to rest allows
the gluten strands to relax and become more pliable.
• While machine is running, add water through the small feed chute,
1 tablespoon at a time until dough clears the inside of the processing bowl.
• While machine is running, add flour through the small feed chute,
1 tablespoon at a time until dough clears the inside of the processing bowl.
• There is a safety interlock switch to prevent the motor from starting if it is not properly
assembled. Make sure the processing bowl and lid and large pusher are securely
locked into position.
• The food content in the feed chute should be below the maximum fill line.
• If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and power outlet.
• The lid may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely in position.
• If the motor overloads, the 'OVERLOAD PROTECTION' icon in the screen will start
to flash. Switch off by pressing the POWER button and unplug the power cord.
Allow the food processor to cool for 30 minutes before resuming.
