Troubleshooting
, If your Food Processor should
fail to operate, check the
following:
- Make sure the work bowl and work
bowl cover are properly locked on
the base.
- Bee if the Food Processor is plugged
into a proper electrical outlet. If it
is, unplug the Food Processor, then
plug it into the same outlet again.
If the Food Processor still does not
work, check the fuse or circuit
breaker on the electrical circuit the
Food Processor is connected to and
make sure the circuit is closed.
oIf the Food Processor shuts off
while it is running:
The Food Processor may be
overheated. If the motor exceeds a
certain temperature, it will
automatically shut off to prevent
damage. This should be an
extremely rare occurrence. If it
happens, press the Off Button and
wait 15 minutes for the Food
Processor to cool before resuming.
If the Food Processor still refuses to
run, wait an additional 15 minutes
for the Food Processor to cool.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the steps in this section, see the
KitchenAid Warranty and Service
section on pages 53-54. Do not
return the Food Processor to the
retailer - they do not provide service.

flour from recipe per _/_clap dried
fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses,
until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion
(without white membrane) from
citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Process
until finely chopped.
With processor running, add food
through the feed tube. Process until
chopped. For best results, make sure
work bowl and herbs are very dry
before chopping.
To chop nuts or make
nut butters:
Process up to 3 claps of nuts to
desired texture, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. For a
coarser textuFe, process smaller
batches, pulsing 1 or 2 times, 1 to 2
seconds each time. Pulse more often
for finer texture. For nut butters,
process continuously until smooth.
Store in refrigerator.

14

Food Processing Tips
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Romano:
Never attempt to process cheese that
cannot be pierced with the tip of a
sharp knife. You can use the multi-
purpose blade to grate hard cheeses.
Cut cheese in 1-inch pieces. Place in
work bowl. Process, using short
pulses, until coarsely chopped. Process
continuously until finely grated. Pieces
of cheese can also added through the
feed tube while the processor is
running.
/,,,"""_'_,,USING A SLICING OR
_1 SHREDDING DISC
\ To cutjulienne, or
match stick, strips of vegetables
and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using even ...............
pressure to make plank .....
like slices. Re-stack slices
and position vertically or
horizontally in feed tube.
Process, using even
pressure.
To slice or shred fruits or
vegetables that are long and
relatively small Jn diameter, such
as celery, carrots, and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed i!i
tube vertically or ....
horizontally, and pack
feed tube securely to
keep food positioned i
properly. Process using
even pressure. Or use
the small feed tube in ....
the two-piece food pusher. Position
food vertically in the tube and use the
small food pusher to process food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round,
such as onions, apples, and
green peppers:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut
in halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Sometimes it's
easier to remove the work bowl cover
and insert large food items into the
feed tube from the bottom, rather
than the top. Process, using even
pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such as
strawberries, mushrooms, and
radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally
in layers within the feed tube. Fill
feed tube in order to keep food
positioned properly. Process, using
even pressure. Or use the small feed
tube in the two-piece food pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube
and use the small food pusher to

15

Food Processing Tips
To slice uncooked meat or
poultry, such as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the
touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours,
depending on 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. Process,
using even pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in
pieces to fit feed tube. Process food
using firm, even pressure.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
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. Process, using even pressure.
USING THE
DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade is
specially designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and
thoroughly. For the best results, do
not knead recipes which use more
than 2-3 cups of flour.
16

Helpful Hints
1. Never process any food that is so
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot
be pierced with the tip of a sharp
knife. Hard food can cause damage
to the blade or motor. If a piece of
hard food, such as carrot, becomes
wedged or stuck on the blade, stop
the processor and remove the
blade. Carefully remove food from
the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini
bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work
bowl Lapto _/_to 2Afull. For thicker
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3/4
full. For liquids, fill Lapto the
maximum level as described on
page 10. When chopping, the
work bowl should be no more
than _/_to _/_full. Use the mini
bowl for Lapto 1 cup of liquid or
_/_cup solids.
3. Position slicing discs so the cutting
surface is just to the right of the
feed tube. This allows the blade a
full rotation before contacting
the food.
4. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the feed tube
while the processor is running.
5. 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.).
6. Soft and medium-hard cheese
may spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this,
shred only well-chilled cheese.
. Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the
feed tube, resulting in an uneven
slice. To minimize this, cut food
in several pieces and
pack the feed tube
with the food, For
processing small or
slender items, the
small feed tube in the
two piece food pusher
will prove especially
convenient,
8. 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.
9. When shredded or sliced food
piles up on one side of the bowl,
stop the processor and redistribute
the food using a spatula.
10. When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding
disc, remove the food.
11. A few 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.
12. Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process
dry or firm ingredients before
liquid ingredients.
13. To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily, `just
empty the work bowl, replace the
lid, and pulse 1 to 2 seconds to
spin the blade clean.
17

Helpful Hints
14. After removing the work bowl
cover, place it upside down on
the counter. This will help keep
the counter clean.
15. To remove the contents of the
work bowl without removing the
multipurpose blade, grasp the
work bowl from the bottom and
place one finger through the
center opening to hold the blade
in place. Then remove food from
the bowl and blade with a
spatula.
16. 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.
17. If any plastic parts should
discolor due to the types of food
processed, clean them with
lemon juice.
