handle and align the Cleaning Tool's two long pins along the right and left of the grid. Guide the Cleaning Tool to position and push down firmly to remove food residue from grid. Problem: Pieces of food are not evenly cut. Solution: • Pack items closest to the left in medium or small Feed Tube. • Use the small Feed Tube for smaller items. • Apply even pressure when using Feed Tube. Dough Kneading Problem: Motor slows down. Solution: • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your Food Processor. Remove half and process in two batches. • Dough may be too wet. If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans the sides of the Work Bowl. Problem: Blade doesn't incorporate ingredients. Solution: • Always start the Food Processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream, or through the drizzle hole in the Pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it. If liquid is added too quickly, wait until ingredients in the Work Bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the machine). • Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under Feed Tube opening; do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of the Work Bowl. Problem: Blade rises in Work Bowl. Solution: • Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons of flour through the Feed Tube while the machine is running. Problem: Dough doesn't clean inside of the Work Bowl. Solution: • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your Food Processor. Remove half and process in two batches. • Dough may be too dry. • Dough may be too wet. Problem: Nub 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. Problem: Dough feels tough after kneading. Solution: • Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable. 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. 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. Cooking Problem: The food is cooking unevenly or there is dark residue on the bottom of the Work Bowl. Solution: • Reduce cooking temperature or increase stirring speed. Problem: The machine does not heat up. Solution: • Check your temperature setting. It takes 5-10 minutes for the machine to get to a set temperature. Problem: The machine stirs intermittently. Solution: • Please check stirring speed. Stirring speeds 1 to 3 are intermittent. Use speeds 4 to 6 for constant stirring. Problem: The Cooking Lid is misaligned and cannot be locked into place. Solution: • Please make sure that the Cooking Lid Seal is in place and the Cooking Lid is assembled correctly. Please see instructions on page 36. • Make sure there is no obstruction. 38 CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
