6. QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:
WHAT TO DO IF
ANSWERS
The food is chopped or mixed
unevenly?
The ingredients should be cut in equal pieces (about 2.5 cm) before processing them.
Work in batches to avoid overloading the appliance.
The slices are uneven or of unequal
thicknesses?
Place food of equal size in the feed tube. Apply even pressure to the pusher.
Ingredients fall in the feed tube?
For better results, the large feed tube should be completely full. For small amounts,
use the small feed tube.” I/O answer “Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, le grand tube
d’alimentation doit être complètement rempli. Pour de petites quantités, se servir du
petit tube d’alimentation.
There is still food on the top of the
disc?
It is normal for small sized ingredients to stick. Cut these ingredients by hand to add to
the other processed ingredients
The motor slows?
There may be too much dough for your food processor. Remove half of the dough and
process in batches. It is also possible that the dough is too wet. If the motor accelerates,
let the appliance run. If the motor does not accelerate, add more flour (1 tablespoon at
a time) until the motor accelerates. Continue until all the flour has been mixed into the
dough and the ingredients stick to the sides of the bowl.
The liquid does not mix into the solid
ingredients?
Always start the processor before adding liquid. Add the liquid slowly and in a steady
stream so that the dry ingredients have time to absorb it. If you add too much liquid at
once, wait until the ingredients in the bowl are mixed and then add the rest of the liquid
(without stopping the appliance). Pour the liquid onto the dough through the feed tube
and not directly into the bowl.
The large pusher moves when
processing dough or other heavy
ingredients?
The locking mechanism on the Pusher (located at the top of the handle) should be
pulled out. It is normal for vibrations to be produced.
The blade does not stay on the motor
shaft?
It is possible that the blade was not properly attached before starting the appliance.
A dough that is too sticky might also cause this to happen. If this is the case, reattach
the blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons of flour through the feed tube while the
machine is running.
The dough made has not absorbed all
the ingredients?
It is possible that the amount of dough exceeds the maximum recommended amount of
your processor. Remove half the dough and process in batches.
The dough may be too dry.
It is also possible that the dough is too wet.
A ball of dough forms on top of the
blade and the dough is not kneaded
evenly?
Stop the machine, gently remove the dough. Divide the dough into three parts and
distribute these pieces evenly in the bowl.
The dough remains hard after being
kneaded?
Divide the dough into 2 or 3 portions and distribute these evenly in the bowl.
