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.
– See if the Food Processor is plugged
into a proper electrical outlet. If it is,
unplug the Food Processor. Then plug
into the same outlet again.
Model KFP750CR (Chrome):
Model KFP750 (All other colors):
– 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.
• If your Food Processor should fail
to slice or shred when using
the disc:
– Make sure the raised-blade side of the
disc is positioned face up on the disc
stem. The disc has a raised nub on the
top and grooves underneath to help
align it properly.
• If your Food Processor lid won’t
close when using the disc:
– Make sure the disc is installed correctly,
with the raised nub on top, and is
positioned properly on the disc stem.
• If 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

Food Processing Tips
USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE
To chop fresh fruits or
vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove
seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11⁄2-inch
(2.5-3.75 cm) pieces. Process food to
desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2
seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl,
if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and
vegetables (except potatoes):
Add 1⁄4cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe
per cup (235 ml) of food. Process food,
using short pulses, until finely chopped.
Then process continuously until
reaching desired texture. Scrape sides
of bowl, if necessary.
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 over process.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1⁄4cup (60 ml)
flour from recipe per 1⁄2cup (120 ml) 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.
To mince garlic or to chop
fresh herbs or small quantities
of vegetables:
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 cups (710 ml) of nuts to
desired texture, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser
texture, 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.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry
or seafood:
The food should be very cold. Cut in
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Process up to
1 pound (455 g) at a time to desired size,
using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each
time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or
cracker crumbs:
Break food into 11⁄2to 2-inch (3.75-5 cm)
pieces. Process until fine. For larger
pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds
each time. Then process until fine.
To melt chocolate in a recipe:
Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe
in work bowl. Process until finely chopped.
Heat liquid from recipe. With processor
running, pour hot liquid through the feed
tube. Process until smooth.

ENGLISH
16
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 (2.5 cm) pieces. Place in work
bowl. Process, using short pulses, until
coarsely chopped. Process continuously
until finely grated. Pieces of cheese can
also be added through the feed tube
while the processor is running.
USING A SLICING OR SHREDDING DISC
To cut julienne, 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 in
diameter, such as celery, carrots,
and bananas:
Cut food to fit feed tube
vertically or horizontally,
and pack feed tube
securely 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 process food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round, such as
onions, apples, and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in
halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. 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 process food.
To shred spinach and
other leaves:
Stack leaves. Roll up
and stand up in feed
tube. Process, using
even pressure.

ENGLISH
1. To avoid damage to the blade or
motor, do not process food that is so
hard or firmly frozen that it cannot be
pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If
a piece of hard food, such as a carrot,
becomes wedged or stuck on the
blade, stop the processor and remove
the blade. Gently remove food from
the blade.
2. Do not overfill work bowl or mini bowl.
For thin mixtures, fill work bowl up to
1⁄2to 2⁄3full. For thicker mixtures, fill work
bowl up to 3⁄4full. For liquids, fill up to
the maximum level as described on
page 11. When chopping, the work
bowl should be no more than 1⁄3to 1⁄2full.
Use the mini bowl for up to 1 cup
(235 ml) of liquid or 1⁄2cup (155 g) 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.
WARNING
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
17
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 (475 - 710 ml) of flour.
Helpful Hints

ENGLISH
18
Helpful Hints
7. 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.
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.
