PRODUCT SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Food Processor in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with appliance.
Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the Power Cord.
Avoid contacting moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
Keep hands and utensils away from moving Blades or discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the Food Processor. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the Food Processor is not running.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting Blade or discs on Base without first putting Bowl properly in place.
Be certain Cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
Never feed food by hand. Always use Food Pusher.
Do not attempt to defeat the Cover interlock mechanism.
Do not fill the Bowl above the marked maximum fill line (or rated capacity) to avoid risk of injury due to damage to the Cover or Bowl.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is designed for household use only.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

Before first use
Before using your Food Processor for the first time, wash all parts and accessories either by hand or in the dishwasher (see “Care and Cleaning” section).
NOTE: Your Food Processor is designed so that all accessories may be stored inside the Work Bowl.

Lift up the Lid Latch to unlock the Cover. Tilt the Work Bowl Cover back and lift it straight up so that the Lid Hinge pulls out of the Handle Hinge.

Remove all parts and accessories from the Work Bowl, and lift the Food Pusher out of the Feed Tube.

IMPORTANT: Place the Food Processor on a dry, level countertop with the controls facing forward. Do not plug in the Food Processor until it is completely assembled.

Place the Work Bowl on the Base, aligning the Handle with the raised button on the right side of the Base. The Bowl will click into place and should be flush against the Base when properly aligned.

Place the Drive Adapter in the Work Bowl, lowering it onto the Drive Pin.

NOTE: For ease of assembly, install the desired Blade or Disc before attaching the Work Bowl Cover.

To attach the Work Bowl Cover, hook the Lid Hinge into the Handle Hinge on the Work Bowl and close the Cover.

Once the Work Bowl Cover is closed, the Lid Latch will lock in position.

NOTE: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the Work Bowl Cover is fully closed, the large Food Pusher is in place, and the Work Bowl is properly seated on the Base.

INSTALLING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE OR DOUGH BLADE

Install the Lower Drive Adapter onto the Upper Drive Adapter. Place the Blade on the Drive Adapter. Rotate the Blade so it falls down to the Base of the Adapter.

Install the Work Bowl Cover, and be sure the Lid Latch is pushed down to the locked position.

INSTALLING THE EXTERNALLY ADJUSTABLE SLICING DISC

Hold the Slicing Disc by the finger grips and lower it onto the Drive Adapter.

To attach the Work Bowl Cover, hook the Lid Hinge into the Handle Hinge on the Work Bowl and close the Cover.

TIP: You may need to adjust the Drive Adapter with a slight turn on the power shaft until it drops into place. For easiest installation, make sure the Adjustment Knob is in the “0” position.

Once the Work Bowl Cover is closed, the Lid Latch will lock in position.

NOTE: Your Food Processor will not operate unless the Work Bowl Cover is fully closed and the Work Bowl is properly seated on the Base.

ADJUSTING THE SLICING THICKNESS

Set the desired thickness by moving the Knob to the left for thinner slices and to the right for thicker slices.

NOTE: The Knob only works with the Externally Adjustable Slicing Disc. Changing thickness settings with other discs or Blades installed will have no effect on operation.

INSTALLING THE DICING KIT

With the Work Bowl removed from the Base, place Dicing Kit Base, Blade (text side up), and Cover in the Work Bowl.

Align Dicing Kit Cover with wide mouth feed shoot.

Place the Work Bowl Cover on the Work Bowl. Take small and/or medium Feed Tube. Insert food to dice.

After dicing, remove the Work Bowl Cover, Dicing Kit Cover and Dicing Blade, then insert the Dicing Kit Clean Out Tool into the Dicing Kit Base and push any extra food through the grid.

PRODUCT USAGE

Before operating the Food Processor, be sure the Work Bowl, Blades/Disc, and Work Bowl Cover are properly assembled on the Base (see the “Product Assembly” section).

To turn on, press Low or High. The Food Processor will run continuously and the indicator light will glow.
To turn off, press Low or High again, or press Off/Pulse.

To use the Pulse function:
Press Off/Pulse for short bursts, or press and hold for longer bursts. The Pulse function runs at high speed only. The Food Processor will turn off when the Off/Pulse button is released.

When finished, press the Off/Pulse button. The indicator light will go out and the Blade or Disc will slow to a stop.

Wait until the Blade or disc comes to a complete stop before removing the Work Bowl Cover. Be sure to turn off the Food Processor before removing the Work Bowl Cover, or before unplugging the Food Processor.

USING THE 3-IN-1 FEED TUBE

The 3-in-1 Feed Tube features a 3-piece Food Pusher.
Use the entire Feed Tube and the large Food Pusher to process large items.

NOTE: The unit will not start if food is loaded in the large Feed Tube above the max fill line.

Use the medium Food Pusher in the Feed Tube to process smaller items.
Use the small Food Pusher to slice or shred the smallest, thinnest items.
Use the drizzle hole in the small Food Pusher to slowly drizzle oil or other liquid ingredients into the Work Bowl.

PRODUCT DISASSEMBLY

REMOVING PROCESSED FOODS

Turn the Food Processor off: Press the Off/Pulse button and unplug the Food Processor before disassembling.

Lift the Lid Latch to unlock the Work Bowl Cover, then lift the Cover to remove.

If using the disc, remove it before removing the Bowl. Holding the disc by the finger holes, lift it straight up.

Remove the Drive Adapter and Multipurpose Blade, if using. The Blade will stay in place on the Drive Adapter when you remove the Adapter.

Lift the Work Bowl off of the Base to remove food from the Bowl with a spatula.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT: The BPA-free Bowl requires special handling. If you choose to use a dishwasher instead of hand washing, please follow these guidelines.

Press the Off/Pulse button, then unplug the Food Processor before cleaning.

Wipe the Base and cord with a warm, damp cloth. Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do not immerse Base in water or other liquid.

All parts are top rack dishwasher safe. Avoid laying the Bowl on its side. Thoroughly dry all parts after washing. Use gentle dish washing cycles such as normal. Avoid high-temperature cycles.

You can store up to two Blades and three discs as well as the Drive Adapter inside the Work Bowl by using the in Bowl Storage Caddy when the Food Processor is not in use. Wrap the Power Cord around the Cord Storage on the bottom of the Base, then secure the plug by clipping it to the housing.

NOTE: If washing the Food Processor parts by hand, avoid the use of abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. They may scratch or cloud the Work Bowl and Cover.
