DOUGH BLADE
Dough Blade Operation
For use with the large bowl. Carefully place the

Kneading
(using the Dough Blade or the Chopping/
Mixing Blade with Low Speed)
• The chopping blade is ideal for pastry doughs,
while the dough blade is specifically designed
for kneading yeast doughs.
• The large pusher lock is recommended to be in the
locked position when kneading dough to avoid it
from moving around — some vibration is still normal.
• Dough kneading should be done in the large
bowl only.
