Cuisinart MP-14C manual Making consecutive batches, Blade rises in work bowl, Motor stops

free-form loaves, let them rise on an oiled baking sheet until at least doubled in bulk.

Making consecutive batches:

You can make several batches of bread dough in a row. The motor in the Limited Edition Metal™ Ultimate Food Prep Centre is extremely efficient.

TYPICAL BREAD DOUGH: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS IF DOUGH BLADE DOESN’T INCORPORATE INGREDIENTS

Always start processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in slow, steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it. If you hear liquid sloshing, stop adding it but do not turn off machine. Instead, wait until ingredients in work bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly. Pour liquid onto dough as it pass- es under feed tube; do not pour liquid directly onto bot- tom of work bowl.

Blade rises in work bowl:

Blade may not have been pushed down as far as possible before processing started.

Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise even though it cleans inside of work bowl. If dough feels very sticky, reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) flour through feed tube while machine is running.

Dough doesn’t clean inside of work bowl:

•Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in 2 batches.

•Dough may be too dry. If it feels crumbly, add water, 1 tablespoon

(15 ml) at a time, while machine is running, until dough becomes moist and cleans inside of work bowl. Wait 10 seconds between additions of water.

•Dough may be too wet. While machine is running, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of flour. If necessary, add more, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, until dough cleans inside of work bowl and forms a ball.

•PowerPrep® Metal Dough Blade is intended only for recipes calling for at least 3-1/2 cups of flour

(17-1/2 ounces) (875 ml). If your recipe calls for less flour, remove metal dough blade and insert metal chopping blade. Always use metal chopping blade for recipes calling for less than 3-1/2 cups (875 ml) of flour, such as pizza dough.

Nub of dough forms on top of blade and does not become uniformly kneaded:

Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide into 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in work bowl. Continue processing until dough is uniformly soft and pliable.

Dough feels tough after kneading:

Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable.

Soft dough or liquid leaks onto base of food processor:

Always start processor before adding liquid and add liquid only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it.

Motor stops:

•Cover may have become unlocked.

•Power cord may have become 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 prevents excessive over- heating. If the motor stops, turn 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 teaspoon (5 ml) at a time, until dough is sufficiently moist to clean inside ofbowl.

Dough doesn’t rise:

We recommend you always test activity of yeast before using, by stirring it and at least 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) sugar into about 1/3 cup (80 ml) warm liquid

(105 - 120°F) (40 - 48°C). Within 10 minutes foam should develop, indicating yeast is active. Do not use dry yeast after expiration date on package.
