• Carefully remove dough blade by pulling shaft straight up. To remove dough blade from
shaft, turn blade counterclockwise and lift off the shaft (S).
• Unlock processor bowl by turning it clockwise and lift off motor unit.
• Empty processor bowl.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING THE DOUGH BLADE
• For best results do not prepare recipes using more than 3½ cups flour.
• Begin with 1 cup less than the maximum amount of flour and add additional flour, as
needed, once mixture is well blended.
• Pour liquid through feed chute in a slow steady stream.
• Knead dough no longer than one minute.
• Do not leave processor unattended during operation.
GENERAL TIPS FOR USING THE PROCESSOR
• Organise processing tasks to avoid multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry before wet.
• The processor will be more efficient if filled no more than 1/2 to 2/3 full.
• If shredded, sliced or diced food piles up on one side of the bowl, stop the processor and
redistribute the food using a spatula.
• To take advantage of the speed of the processor, drop foods through the feed chute with
the processor running.
• To prevent slender foods (such as carrots or celery) from falling over in the feed chute, cut
food into several pieces and pack the feed chute with the food.
• Apply light pressure on the pusher for soft foods (berries and tomatoes) and slightly more
pressure for hard foods (onions and potatoes).
• Do not process foods that are so frozen or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be inserted
into the food.
• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the
processor and unplug, then remove the blade. Gently remove food from the blade.
• When chopping sticky dried fruits, place the fruits in the freezer for about 10 minutes and
add a little flour or sugar to keep the pieces from sticking together.
• When preparing cake or cookie batter, use the S blade to cream fat and sugar first and add
dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruit on top of flour mixture to prevent over chopping.
Process nuts and fruits using short pulses to blend with other ingredients.
