• Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to
rise. Carefully push blade down and immedi-
ately 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 redistrib-
ute 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 table-
spoon 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 table-
spoon 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 as-
sembled. 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. Turn the dial to OFF 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 mo-
tor 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 maxi-
mum 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
