Motor stops
• If using large feed tube cover,
the pusher assembly may have
come unlocked. Push down
pusher sleeve to lock it into place
and continue processing.
• Cover may have come unlocked.
Lock cover and continue processing.
• Power cord may be unplugged.
• Excessive strain may have
caused motor to overheat and
stop. Wait for the motor to cool,
5-10 minutes. A safety protector
in the motor protects it against
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 it is not
too stiff to knead comfortably
by hand. If it is, add liquid -
1 teaspoon at a time - until dough
is sufficiently moist to clean bowl.
Dough doesn’t rise
We recommend that you always
test activity of yeast before using
it. See instructions for proofing
yeast on page 12. Do not use
dry yeast after expiration date
on package.
Avoid killing yeast cells by
dissolving yeast in water that is
too warm. Dissolve yeast in about
1/3 cup of warm liquid at 105°-
120°F. All other liquid should
be cold.
Don’t knead so long that dough
becomes overheated. The ideal
temperature for kneaded dough
is 80°F; it should never
exceed 110°F .
Let dough rise in draft-free
environment 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 have been
incorporated. These rich doughs
will give you good results after
only 30 seconds of kneading.
