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 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.

• 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 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.

Food Processing Tips

USING THE

MULTIPURPOSE BLADE

To chop fresh fruits or

vegetables:

Peel, core, and/or remove seeds.

Cut food in 1 to 1

1

⁄2

-inch (2.5 to

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

⁄4 cup (60 ml) liquid from recipe

per cup 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 overprocess.

To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:

The food should be cold. Add

1

⁄4 cup

(60 ml) flour from recipe per

1

⁄

2 cup

(120 ml) dried fruit. Process fruit,

using short pulses, until reaching

desired texture.

To finely chop citrus peel:

With sharp knife, peel coloured

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 1

1

⁄2 to 2-inch (3.75 to

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.

15

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 2-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 2-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.

16

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.

17

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 up to

1

⁄2 to

2

⁄3 full. For thicker

mixtures, fill work bowl up to

3

⁄4

full. For liquids, fill up to the

maximum level as described on

page 10. When chopping, the

work bowl should be no more

than

1

⁄3 to

1

⁄2 full. Use the mini

bowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of

liquid or

1

⁄

2 cup (120 ml) 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.

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

2-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.

18

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

discolour due to the types of

food processed, clean them with

lemon juice.
