4. Insert Desired Attachment:
   • For Chopping Blade, Dough Kneader, or Whipping Disk: Carefully place the attachment onto the central shaft inside the bowl. Ensure it sits firmly.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

2. Add ingredients to the processing bowl. Do not overfill the bowl beyond the maximum fill line.
3. Secure the lid firmly in place.
4. Select the desired speed setting (if applicable) or use the Pulse function.
5. When finished, turn off the appliance and unplug it from the outlet before removing the lid and processing bowl.

Using Specific Attachments

Chopping Blade (S-blade)

Use for chopping, mincing, pureeing, and mixing. Ideal for nuts, herbs, vegetables, and cooked meats. Place the blade onto the central shaft before adding ingredients.

Dough Kneader

Designed for light doughs, such as pizza dough or bread dough. Add flour and liquids according to your recipe. Process until a cohesive dough ball forms.

Whipping Disk

Perfect for whipping cream, egg whites, or making light batters. Ensure the bowl and disk are clean and dry for best results. For whipping cream, use cold heavy cream.

Shredding and Slicing Blades

Insert the desired shredding or slicing disc onto the central shaft. Place the lid with the feed tube. Use the dual feed tube (small for narrow items like carrots, large for wider items like potatoes) and the pusher to guide food through the blade. Do not force food into the feed tube.

Citrus Juicer

Assemble the citrus juicer attachment onto the processing bowl. Cut citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes) in half. Place a fruit half onto the reamer and press down gently while the motor is running to extract juice. The pulp and seeds will be separated into the strainer.

Pulse Control

The Pulse function provides short bursts of power, ideal for controlling consistency, preventing over-processing, or for initial chopping of harder ingredients. Press and hold the Pulse button for intermittent operation; release to stop.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your T-fal Kaleo Food Processor.

• Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Disassemble all parts: Remove the lid, processing bowl, and any attachments from the motor base.
• Hand Wash: The processing bowl, lid, and all attachments (blades, disks, juicer) should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Use a brush for hard-to-reach areas and exercise extreme caution when handling sharp blades.
• Motor Base: The motor base should never be immersed in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent on the cloth.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surfaces.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembling or storing to prevent water spots and bacterial growth.

Storage

The T-fal Kaleo Food Processor is designed for convenient storage with its integrated oval accessory-storage box. After cleaning and drying, neatly place all blades, disks, and smaller attachments into the storage box. Place the motor base and bowl assembly on top of the storage box for a compact footprint.
