A short power-supply cored is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping on a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, be sure the marked electrical rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance. The extension cord should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The electrical rating of this appliance is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.

BOTTOM COVER

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

How to Use Dough Blade

IMPORTANT: Follow the instructions under “How to Chop” to install and remove the Dough Blade.

1. The Dough Blade can be used to make yeast breads, pizza dough, or yeast rolls. Use the 2 dough recipes in this manual as a guide when making bread or pizza dough. Be sure to add liquid ingredients slowly as the dough will not form properly if liquid is added too fast.

2. You may have to stop the unit at times to scrape down the side of the processing Bowl.

3. Do NOT use the Dough Blade to make piecrust. Use the Chopping

Blade for pie dough (see recipes).

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 of metal spatula. Do not pack flour by tapping the cup when measuring.

3. Use the amount of liquid and flour in the bread recipe provided as a guide. You can experiment with other favorite yeast bread recipes.

4. 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 the Bowl.

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

Larger amounts may leak from the Bowl.

English

Clean and Care

NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen the cutting edges of the 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 off and the cord is unplugged.

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

3. Wipe the Base, Control area, 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 in a dishwasher, top rack.

• If washing by hand, wash in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. If necessary, use a small nylon bristle brush to thor oughly clean the Bowl and Food Chute/Cover. This type of brush will also help prevent cutting yourself on the 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 abrasive 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 1 tablespoon baking soda and two tablespoons warm water. Apply the paste to the stains and rub with a cloth. Rinse in soapy water and dry.
