15 Motor stops • Pusher assembly may have become unlocked. Push down pusher sleeve to lock it into place and continue processing. • Cover may have become unlocked. Lock cover and contin ue processing. • Power cord may have become unplugged. Plug machine in and continue processing. • Excessive strain may have caused motor to overheat and stop. Wait for the motor to cool off, 5-10 minutes. A safety pro tector in the motor prevents it from excessive overheating. If the motor stops, turn the machine off. After 5-10 minutes, divide dough into 2 batches and complete processing. Pinch dough to make sure that it is not too stiff to knead comfortably by hand. If it is, add liquid -1 tea spoon at a time • until dough is sufficiently moist to clean inside of bowl. Dough doesn't rise We recommend that you always test activity of yeast before using it by stirring it and at least 1/2 teaspoon sugar into about 1/3 cup warm liquid (105° - 120°F). Within 10 minutes foam should develop, indicating yeast is active. Do not use dry yeast after expira tion date on package. Don't knead so long that it becomes overheated. The ideal temperature for kneaded dough is 80°F; it should never exceed 100-F. Let dough rise in draft-free envi ronment of about 80°-90°F. Dough containing whole grain flour will take longer to rise than dough made of white flour only. Baked bread too heavy Next time, feel dough to be sure it is uniformly soft, pliable and slightly sticky before setting it aside to rise. Let dough fully double in bulk in bowl or bag, punch it down, then let it double again after it is shaped. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS WITH TYPICAL SWEET DOUGHS Motor slows down. • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in 2 batches. • Don't process too long after all the ingredients are incorporated. These rich doughs will give you good results after only 30 sec onds of kneading. Blade doesn't incorporate Ingredients. Butter or margarine, if not melt ed, must be cut into tablespoonsize pieces before being added to work bowl. Metal blade rises in work bowl Blade may not have been pushed down as far as it will go before processing started. Machine may be overloaded. Stop it. remove half of dough and process in 2 batches. Motor stops See comments under "Typical Bread Dough". Dough doesn't rise See comments under 'Typical Bread Dough". Avoid killing yeast cells by dis solving yeast in too warm water or overheating dough by exces sive kneading. Dissolve yeast in about 1/3 cup of warm liquid at 105°-120°F. All other liquid should be cold.
