Troubleshooting• If your Food Processor should

fail to operate, check thefollowing:

– Make sure the work bowl andwork bowl cover are properlylocked on the base, and the foodpusher is inserted to the maximumfill line on the feed tube.

– See if the power cord is pluggedinto a proper electrical outlet (see “Electrical Requirements” onpage 3). If it is, unplug the FoodProcessor, then plug it into thesame outlet again. If the FoodProcessor still does not work,check the fuse or circuit breaker onthe electrical circuit the FoodProcessor is connected to andmake sure the circuit is closed.

• If the Food Processor shuts offwhile it is running:

– The Food Processor may beoverheated. If the motor exceeds acertain temperature, it willautomatically shut off to preventdamage. This should be anextremely rare occurrence. If ithappens, press the “O” Button andwait 15 minutes for the FoodProcessor to cool before resuming.If the Food Processor still refuses torun, wait an additional 15 minutesfor the Food Processor to cool.

• If you have difficulty removingthe food pusher from the feed tube:

– Food particles are probably lodgedin the interlock system. To free thepusher, soak the work bowl coverin warm water or wash it in adishwasher.

If the problem cannot be correctedwith the steps in this section, see theKitchenAid warranty and after salesservice section on pages 27-28. Donot return the Food Processor to theretailer – they do not provide service.

Food Processing TipsTo slice uncooked meat orpoultry, such as stir-fry meats:

Cut or roll food to fit feed tube.Wrap and freeze food until hard tothe touch, 30 minutes to 2 hours,depending on thickness of food.Check to be sure you can still piercefood with the tip of a sharp knife. Ifnot, allow to thaw slightly. Process,using even pressure.

To slice cooked meat or poultry,including salami, pepperoni, etc.:

Food should be very cold. Cut inpieces to fit feed tube. Process foodusing firm, even pressure.

To shred firm and soft cheeses:

Firm cheese should be very cold. Forbest results with soft cheeses, such asmozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutesbefore processing. Cut to fit feedtube. Process, using even pressure.

USING THE DOUGH BLADE

The dough blade isspecially designed for mixing andkneading yeast dough quickly andthoroughly. For the best results, donot knead recipes which use morethan 250 to 375 g (2-3 cups) offlour.

USING THE EGG WHIP

To make soft eggwhite meringue:

Place 3 egg whites and 1⁄4 teaspooncream of tartar in work bowl fittedwith egg whip. Process until foamy,about 30 to 45 seconds.

Helpful Hints1. When cutting and packing food

items in the Ultra Wide Mouthfeed tube, do not exceed themaximum fill line. This will permitthe pusher to engage theinterlock and the unit to operate.

2. Never process any food that is sohard or firmly frozen that itcannot be pierced with the tip ofa sharp knife. Hard food cancause damage to the blade ormotor. If a piece of hard food,such as carrot, becomes wedgedor stuck on the blade, stop theprocessor and remove the blade.Carefully remove food from theblade.

3. Do not overfill work bowl or minibowl. For thin mixtures, fill workbowl up to 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 full. For thickermixtures, fill work bowl up to 3⁄4 full. For liquids, fill up to themaximum level as described onpage 12. When chopping, thework bowl should be no morethan 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full. Use the minibowl for up to 237 ml (1 cup) ofliquid or 63 g (1⁄2 cup) solids.

4. Position slicing discs so the cuttingsurface is just to the right of thefeed tube. This allows the blade afull rotation before contacting the food.

5. To capitalize on the speed of theprocessor, drop ingredients to bechopped through the small feedtube while the processor isrunning.

6. Different foods require varyingdegrees of pressure for bestshredding and slicing results. Ingeneral, use light pressure forsoft, delicate foods (strawberries,tomatoes, etc.), moderatepressure for medium foods(zucchini, potatoes, etc.), andfirmer pressure for harder foods(carrots, apples, hard cheeses,partially frozen meats, etc.).

7. Soft and medium-hard cheesemay spread out or roll up on theshredding disc. To avoid this,shred only well-chilled cheese.

8. Sometimes slenderfoods, such ascarrots or celery, fallover in the feedtube, resulting inan uneven slice. Tominimize this, cutfood in several pieces and packthe feed tube with the food. Forprocessing small or slender items,the small feed tube in the twopiece food pusher will proveespecially convenient.

9. When preparing a cake or cookiebatter or quick bread, use themultipurpose blade to cream fatand sugar first. Add dryingredients last. Place nuts andfruit on top of flour mixture toprevent overchopping. Processnuts and fruits, using shortpulses, until blended with otheringredients. Do not overprocess.

10. When shredded or sliced foodpiles up on one side of the bowl,stop the processor andredistribute the food using aspatula.

11. When food quantity reaches thebottom of a slicing or shreddingdisc, remove the food.

12. A few larger pieces of food mayremain on top of the disc afterslicing or shredding. If desired,cut these by hand and add tomixture.

13. Organize processing tasks tominimize bowl cleanup. Processdry or firm ingredients beforeliquid ingredients.

14. To clean ingredients from themultipurpose blade easily, justempty the work bowl, replacethe lid, and pulse 1 to 2 secondsto spin the blade clean.
