Answer:
• Cut large foods into pieces before chopping and process using the
pulse mode for best results.
• No, this may damage the machine and you will not get the best
results.
• Liquid ingredients should only be added when the motor is
running. Pour them through the feed tube, never directly into the
work bowl. Check to ensure that the liquid is being properly
mixed into the other ingredients. If not, stop pouring, but do not
stop the motor. Wait until the ingredients are mixed before adding
the remaining liquid.
• Unless it is melted, butter should be diced before adding. Allow
the butter to warm to room temperature before adding.
• The blade is not properly set. Check that it has been pushed down
as far as possible.
• The amount of dough exceeds the recommended quantity.
Remove some of the dough and process in two batches.
• The blade might rise in the bowl if the dough is very sticky. In this
case reposition the blade, start the motor and immediately add
40g flour through the feed tube.
• The quantity of dough exceeds the maximum recommended
quantity. Remove some of the dough and process in two batches.
• The dough is too dry. If it feels lumpy, add water, 15ml at a time,
while the motor is running, until the dough forms a ball that cleans
the inside of the bowl.
• The dough blade was designed to process at least 400g
of dough. For quantities of dough less than 400g use
the chopping/mixing blade.
• Stop the motor, remove the dough, separate into three and
distribute them around the bowl. Start the appliance again and
process until the dough is soft and pliable. Check that it is neither
too dry nor too moist.
