Motor stops
• Pusher assembly may have
become unlocked. Push down
pusher sleeve to lock it into place
and continue processing.
• Cover may have become
unlocked. Lock cover and contin
ue processing.
• Power cord may have become
unplugged. Plug machine in and
continue processing.
• Excessive strain may have
caused motor to overheat and
stop. Wait for the motor to cool
off, 5-10 minutes. A safety pro
tector in the motor prevents it
from excessive overheating. If
the motor stops, turn the
machine off. After 5-10 minutes,
divide dough into 2 batches and
complete processing. Pinch
dough to make sure that it is not
too stiff to knead comfortably by
hand. If it is, add liquid -1 tea
spoon at a time • until dough is
sufficiently moist to clean inside
of bowl.
Dough doesn't rise
We recommend that you always
test activity of yeast before using
it by stirring it and at least 1/2
teaspoon sugar into about 1/3
cup warm liquid (105° - 120°F).
Within 10 minutes foam should
develop, indicating yeast is active.
Do not use dry yeast after expira
tion date on package.
Avoid killing yeast cells by dis
solving yeast in too warm water
or overheating dough by exces
sive kneading. Dissolve yeast in
about 1/3 cup of warm liquid at
105°-120°F. All other liquid
should be cold.
Don't knead so long that it
becomes overheated. The ideal
temperature for kneaded dough is
80°F; it should never exceed
100-F.
Let dough rise in draft-free envi
ronment of about 80°-90°F.
Dough containing whole grain
flour will take longer to rise than
dough made of white flour only.
Baked bread too heavy
Next time, feel dough to be sure it
is uniformly soft, pliable and
slightly sticky before setting it
aside to rise. Let dough fully
double in bulk in bowl or bag,
punch it down, then let it double
again after it is shaped.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
WITH TYPICAL SWEET DOUGHS
Motor slows down.
• Amount of dough may exceed
maximum capacity of your food
processor. Remove half and
process in 2 batches.
• Don't process too long after all
the ingredients are incorporated.
These rich doughs will give you
good results after only 30 sec
onds of kneading.
Blade doesn't incorporate
Ingredients.
Butter or margarine, if not melt
ed, must be cut into tablespoon-
size pieces before being added to
work bowl.
Metal blade rises in work bowl
Blade may not have been pushed
down as far as it will go before
processing started. Machine may
be overloaded.
Stop it. remove half of dough and
process in 2 batches.
