5. Problem: Lump 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:
• If the dough is tough with a rubber feel, it may of been over kneaded. Stop kneading, allow to
rest and then continue with your recipe.
7. Problem: Dough is too dry.
Solution:
• While machine is running, add water, 1 tablespoon 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 tablespoon 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 assembled.
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. Press the Off control button and wait 10 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 motor 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
maximum 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.
