•Before operating the food
processor, be sure the work bowl,
blades and work bowl cover are
properly assembled on the power
base (see page 8).
•The Clean Touch OFF/ON/PULSE
control pads take just a touch of
your finger for optimum control
and convenience in operating the
food processor. By touching the ON
control pad, the unit will run
continuously until you touch the
OFF control pad.
•ThePULSE control pad helps to
better regulate the degree of
processing. By alternately pressing
and releasing the PULSE pad, the
food processor will be quickly
turned on and off. This allows you
to control the exact length and
frequency of processing since the
KitchenAid food processor performs
in just a matter of seconds.

USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

14
Food Processing at a Glance
HELPFUL TIPS FOR THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE
•Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry
or firm ingredients before liquid
ingredients.
•Do not overfill the work bowl or
mini bowl. For thin mixtures, fill
work bowl up to 1⁄3to 1⁄2full. For
thicker mixtures, fill work bowl up
to 2⁄3full. The maximum amount of
liquid which can be processed is
2 cups. The work bowl can hold up
to 11⁄2cups of solid foods to be
chopped. Use the mini bowl for up
to 2⁄3cup of liquid or 3⁄4cup of
solids.
•Let food drop to the bottom of the
work bowl between pulses. This will
allow food to redistribute and give
more even and uniform results.
•Liquid can be added to foods
during processing by adding it
through the open feed tube.
•To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube
while the processor is running,
whether using the work bowl or the
mini bowl.
•To prepare mashed potatoes, shred
hot cooked potatoes using the
shredding disc. Exchange shredding
disc for multipurpose blade. Add
softened butter, milk and
seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to
3 seconds each time, until smooth
and milk is absorbed. Do not
overprocess.
•When preparing a cake or cookie
batter or quick bread, use the
multipurpose blade to cream fat
and sugar first. Add dry ingredients
last. Place nuts and fruit on top of
flour mixture to prevent
overchopping. Process nuts and
fruits, using short pulses, until
blended with other ingredients. Do
not overprocess.
•To melt chocolate, combine
chocolate and sugar from recipe in
work bowl. Process until finely
chopped. Heat liquid from recipe.
With processor running pour hot
liquid through feed tube. Process
until smooth.
NOTE: Your food processor is not
designed to perform the
following functions:
–Grind coffee beans, grains or hard
spices.
–Grind bones or other inedible parts
of food.
–Liquefy raw fruits or vegetables.
–Slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled
meats.

15
Food Processing at a Glance
Type of Food
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long
and slender, such as celery,
carrots or bananas.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are round,
such as onions, apples or
green peppers.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are small,
such as strawberries,
mushrooms or radishes.
To shred spinach or other
leaves.
To shred firm and soft
cheeses.
To slice uncooked meat or
poultry.
To slice cooked meat or
poultry, including salami,
pepperoni, etc.
To julienne or match stick
strips of vegetables and
fruits.
Preparation
Cut food to fit feed tube
vertically or horizontally.
Pack feed tube securely in
order to keep food
positioned properly.
Peel, core and/or remove
seeds. Cut into halves or
quarters to fit feed tube.
Some foods are easier to
insert onto tube from the
bottom.
Position food vertically or
horizontally in layers in
feed tube. Fill feed tube in
order to keep food
positioned properly.
Stack leaves. Roll up and
stand in feed tube.
Firm cheese should be very
cold. For best results with
soft cheeses, such as
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15
minutes before processing.
Cut to fit feed tube.
Cut or roll food to fit feed
tube. Wrap and freeze
food until firm to the
touch, about 30 minutes
to 2 hours, depending
upon thickness of food.
Check to be sure you can
still pierce food with the
tip of a sharp knife. If not,
allow to thaw slightly.
Food should be very cold.
Cut in pieces to fit feed

Cut food to fit tube

USING THE SLICING OR SHREDDING DISC

16
Food Processing at a Glance
HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE SLICING/SHREDDING DISC
•Position slicing or shredding disc so
that cutting surface is just to the
right of the feed tube to allow
blade a full rotation before
contacting food.
•Different foods require varying
degrees of pressure for best
shredding and slicing results. In
general, use light pressure for soft,
delicate foods
( strawberries, tomatoes, etc.),
moderate pressure for medium
foods (zucchini, potatoes, etc.) and
firmer pressure for harder foods
(carrots, apples, hard cheeses,
partially frozen meats, etc.).
•Soft and medium-hard cheeses may
spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.
•When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop
the processor and redistribute food
using the spatula.
•When food quantity reaches rim of
work bowl, remove it and then
continue processing.
•Afew larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after
slicing or shredding. If desired, cut
these by hand and add to mixture.
•Sometimes single foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the
feed tube, resulting in an uneven
slice. To minimize this, position
food at the right side of the feed
tube, or cut food in several pieces
and put all pieces in feed tube
together to help hold each other in
position.
