Bread Making Tips for the Dough Blade

1.For best results, use ingredients at room temperature and be sure the butter is soft.

2.Check the date on the yeast package to be sure it hasn’t expired. Measure flour accurately by spooning it into a measuring cup designed for dry ingredients.

Level it off with the straight side of a knife or metal spatula. Do not pack flour by tapping the cup when measuring.

Note: Maximum amount of flour to be used is 6 cups (1500 ml) of all-purpose or bread flour or 3 ½ cups (875 ml) of whole grain flour.

3.You may use bread flour, if you’d prefer. Breads will be taller.

FOOD PROCESSING TIPS Liquids

• Hot liquids (not boiling) and hot foods can be processed in container.

•Be sure to process small amounts of liquids — 2 cups or less at a time.

Larger amounts will leak from container.

Dry Ingredients

•When preparing cookie, cake batter or quick bread, use the chopping blade to cream butter or shortening and sugar first. Add dry ingredients last. Place nuts and fruits on top of dry ingredients to prevent over chopping. Process using short pulses until blended. Do not over process.

Meat

•When using the chopping blade for processing meat, cut the meat into

1" (2.54cm) cubes. Do not put more than ½ lb. (227g) of meat into the container at a time. Chop on pulse to the size desired.

Food Size, Preparation and Loading

•When using different foods in a recipe, process dry ingredients first and moist ingredients later. This reduces the number of times container must be washed and dried.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Note: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the blades or discs. They are permanently sharpened at the factory and will be ruined by attempted sharpening.

CLEANING

1.Before cleaning, be sure unit is off and cord is unplugged.

2.Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.

3.Wipe base 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 base in liquid.

4.All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.

•If washing by hand, wash in sudsy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

If necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thoroughly clean container and food chute.

•If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only.

•Some staining of parts may occur. Use a paste of 2 tablespoons (60 ml) baking soda 1 tablespoon (30 ml) water, then apply to stains and let stand overnight. Rinse and dry.

5.Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts.

6.Do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
