PROBLEM
EASY SOLUTION
Food is unevenly
processed
•
Ingredients should be cut evenly into 1 inch (2.5cm) pieces
before processing.
•
Ingredients should be processed in batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are slanted
or uneven.
•
Place evenly cut food into the feed chute.
•
Apply even pressure on the pusher.
Food falls over in
the feed chute
•
The large feed chute must be packed full for best results. If
processing smaller quantities, place items to the far left in the
feed chute, or use the small feed chute.
Some food remains
on top of the disc
after processing
•
It is normal for small pieces to remain after processing.
Motor slows
down when
kneading dough
•
Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity. Remove
half and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too wet (see next page). If motor speeds up,
continue processing. If not, add more fl our, 1 tablespoon at a
time until the motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans the
side of the processing bowl.
Dough blade
doesn’t fully
incorporate
ingredients
•
When kneading dough, always start the food processor before
adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream, allowing
the dry ingredients to absorb it. If too much liquid is added,
wait until ingredients in the processing bowl have mixed, then
add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the machine).
Pour liquid onto the dough as it passes under the feed chute
opening; do not pour liquid directly onto the bottom of the
processing bowl.
Dough doesn’t
clean inside of the
processing bowl
•
Amount of dough may exceed food processor maximum
capacity. Remove half and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too dry (see next page).
Dough nub forms
on top of dough
blade and dough
does not become
uniformly kneaded.
•
Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces
and redistribute them evenly in the processing bowl.
