5. Adjust pusher pressure

to food texture.

Never push down hard

1.Place work bowl on Pro Plus™ base in usual way. Hold Strainer Basket open side up, with locking device facing you. Align locking device slightly to left of locking tab on front rim of work bowl.

TROUBLESHOOTING

These are some problems that beginners with a food processor sometimes expe- rience, along with their solutions.

Food is unevenly chopped

Try to process less food at one time. Pulse/chop until pieces of food are no larger than 1/2 inch

Can prepare pastry for single crust pie. Repeat for a 2-crust pie, do not double.

Fresh nut butters contain no additional oils, sugar or salt unless you choose to add them. Nut butters can be kept for several months tightly covered and refrigerated. For chunky-style, add a handful of nuts before processing is completed.

Use light pressure for soft fruits and vegetables and pack them horizon- tally; like bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and tomatoes and for all cheeses.

Turn Juicer Stem Adapter clockwise until it drops into position. Check that it is down as

Using The Juicer Attachment

The Citrus Juicer Attachment includes:

Strainer Basket, which locks into processor work bowl. It has grooved cam

far as it will go on the motor shaft.

2.Hold small cone by top and place it over Juicer Stem Adapter, fitting slot over rib on adapter.

Cut citrus fruit in half and hold cut side down over cone. With other hand, hold control lever in PULSE position and press down fruit to extract juice. For continu- ous operation, move control lever to ON. Twist fruit to extract most juice.

Remove work bowl from base as soon as you fin- ish processing. Do not remove metal blade first. When work bowl and blade are removed together, blade drops down and forms almost perfect seal against bowl.

Liquid leaks out between work bowl and cover when machine is running

Never use more than

1-1/2 cups (360ml) of a very thin liquid. The thicker the liquid, the more you can use. With thick mixtures like pan-

Yeast Doughs Metal Blade	Process dry ingredients to blend,
	then add yeast mixture/liquid
	through feed tube in a steady
	stream as fast as the flour will
	absorb it. After mixture forms
	ball, process for 46 – 60 seconds
	to knead.

on one side and smooth locking device on opposite side. In its center is the:

Juicer Stem Adapter, which fits over motor shaft of Pro Plus™ .

Do not allow juice to overflow center tube of work bowl.

To remove attachment, remove cone from Juicer Stem Adapter. Loosen

cake or cake batter, for example, you can process as much as 2 cups (480ml).

Slices are uneven or slanted

Guidelines for Perfect Slices and Consistently Uniform Shreds

1.Choose food with care. Fruits and vegetables should be fresh, firm and not overripe.

2.Prepare food first. Always remove large hard pits and seeds. When slicing, cut one end flat and place in feed tube cut side down.

3.Pack feed tube carefully. Food should fit snugly but not so tight that it

prevents pusher from moving. (Bottom of feed tube is slightly larger than top. If food is too big for top, try inserting from bottom.)

4.Pack feed tube for desired results.

For small, round slices

Small cone, for lemons and limes. It must always be attached to Adapter when Attachment is in use. Slot in center of underside fits rib on Adapter.

Medium cone, for oranges and large cone, for grape- fruits. Both fit over small cone.

adapter from motor shaft by lifting it slightly, straight up. Hold Strainer Basket on both sides and turn clockwise to unlock it from work bowl. Lift straight up. Remove work bowl from base and pour out juice.

Pack feed tube carefully. Maintain even pressure on pusher.

Carrots or similar food falls over in feed tube Cut food into equally

sized pieces, not over 4 inches (10cm) long. Use enough pieces to fit feed tube snugly.
