USING THE DOUGH BLADE
1. The dough blade can mix and knead dough in a fraction of the
time it takes to do it by hand.
2. Typical bread dough is made with a flour mixture that contains at
least 50% white flour. It is uniformly soft, pliable and slightly
sticky when properly kneaded. Properly kneaded bread dough
doesn’t adhere to the inside of the work bowl.
3. Typical sweet dough contains a higher proportion of sugar, butter
and/or eggs than typical bread dough. It is rich and sticky, and
will adhere to the inside of the work bowl. It requires less
kneading after the ingredients are mixed.
DO NOT try to use the food processor to knead dough that is too
stiff to knead comfortably by hand.
PROCESSING HOT FOODS
Hot foods under than 80°C can be processed in the bowl. Anything
over this temperature is too hot and should not be processed with this
unit.
CAUTION DO NOT use the food processor to process hot
liquids kneading after the ingredients are mixed.

EN
CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE: DO NOT attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the Multi-
purpose/Chopping blade or the reversible disc. They are permanently
sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.
1. Before cleaning, be sure the unit is switched off and the cord is
unplugged.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for
easy cleanup.
3. Wipe the base, control knob, and feet with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. Stubborn spots can be removed by rubbing with a
damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. DO NOT immerse the
base in liquid.
4. All removable parts can be washed by hand or placed on the top
rack of a dishwasher.
If washing by hand, wash in hot, sudsy water, rinse, and dry
thoroughly. If necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to
thoroughly clean the bowl and food chute/cover. This type of
brush will also help prevent cutting yourself on the Multipurpose/
Chopping blade and slice/shred disc.
If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on the top rack
only-not in or near the utensil basket.
5. DO NOT use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or
metal parts.
6. DO NOT fill the bowl with boiling water or place any of the parts in
boiling water. Some foods, such as carrots, may temporarily stain the
bowl. To remove stains, make a paste of 2 tablespoons (30ml) baking

18
EN
soda and 1 tablespoon (15ml) warm water. Apply the paste to the
stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse in sudsy water and dry.
Any other service should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
