Dough containing whole grain flour will take longer to rise than dough made of white flour only.

Baked bread is too heavy:

Next time, feel dough to be sure it is uniformly soft, pliable and slightly sticky before setting 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. Remove half, and process in 2 batches.

Don’t process too long after all ingredients have been incorporated. Rich doughs will give you good results after only 30 seconds of kneading.

Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients:

Butter or margarine, if not melted, must be cut into tablespoon-size pieces before being added

to work bowl.

Metal dough blade rises in work bowl:

Blade may not have been pushed down as far as possible before processing started. Machine may be overloaded. Remove half of dough and process in 2 batches.

Motor stops:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT

The Cuisinart whisk attach- ment connects to the motor shaft of the Limited Edition MetalFood Processor much the same way as the discs do. The two stainless steel whisks rotate rapidly as the power unit slowly revolves around the work bowl, to continuously aer- ate food. The whisk attach- ment produces extra-light egg whites to let you make meringue shells with half the usual amount of sugar. It whips cream to soft or stiff peaks and produces fluffy mashed potatoes. It also makes chiffon cakes, light, airy soufflés, and fluffy meringues for pies. Before use, clean the entire whisk attachment. Wipe the power unit with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT

SUBMERGE IN WATER. The other parts can be rinsed in hot, soapy water and then dried.

THE PARTS:

The power unit is smooth on top except for the whisk ejector tab at the wide end. On the underside are two openings to attach the whisks. In the center is

a hexagonal rod with a grooved collar. The rod fits

into an opening on the adapter. At the narrow end of the power unit is a base with two tabs which can act as a rest when the base is not in use.

The two whisks are made of stainless steel. The circular stems fit into openings on the underside of the power unit. Guards at the top of the stems prevent food from getting into the sealed power unit.

The adapter locks onto the motor shaft. The adapter consists of a clear plastic outer sheath and a white plastic inner sheath that fit over the motor shaft.

TO ASSEMBLE:

1.To insert the whisks, hold the power unit in one hand with the underside facing you, wide end at the top. Insert whisks into openings at wide end. Push whisks in as far as they will go. They will click into a locked position. The circular guard on the stem

of the whisk should almost touch the white plastic collar around the opening.

2.To lock the adapter to the motor shaft of the Limited Edition MetalFood Processor with the work bowl in place, hold the adapter with the fixed ring at the bottom. Be sure the ring is loose and not over the sheath. Line up the shape of the inner sheath with the shape of the motor shaft. Gently push down the adapter as far as it will go. The narrow top of the adapter will rest
