Setup and Assembly

1. Unpacking:

   Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed. Ensure all parts listed in the "Included Components" section are present.

2. Cleaning Before First Use:

   Wash the work bowl, lid, food pusher, and all accessories (blades, discs) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The main unit base should be wiped with a damp cloth.

3. Assembling the Work Bowl:

   Place the work bowl onto the motor base. Rotate clockwise until it locks securely into place. You should hear a click.

4. Attaching Blades/Discs:

   Carefully place the desired blade or disc onto the drive shaft inside the work bowl. Ensure it sits firmly on the shaft. Always handle blades and discs by their plastic hubs, as the edges are very sharp.

5. Securing the Lid:

   Place the lid onto the work bowl, aligning the tab on the lid with the slot on the handle. Rotate the lid clockwise until it locks into place. The food processor will not operate unless the lid is properly locked.

6. Inserting the Food Pusher:

   Insert the food pusher into the feed tube of the lid. This is used to guide food into the blades/discs during operation.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

1. Preparation:

   Ensure the food processor is assembled correctly and plugged into a grounded electrical outlet. Prepare ingredients by cutting them into pieces that fit easily into the feed tube.

2. Adding Ingredients:

   For chopping or mixing, add ingredients directly into the work bowl. For slicing or shredding, add ingredients through the feed tube while the motor is running.

3. Powering On:

   Press the 'ON' button to start the motor. For continuous operation, keep the button pressed or engage the lock function if available. Use the 'PULSE' button for short bursts of power, ideal for chopping or coarse processing.

4. Processing Food:

   Use the food pusher to guide food through the feed tube. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push food into the feed tube while the appliance is operating.

5. Stopping Operation:

   Press the 'OFF' button to stop the motor. Wait for the blade or disc to come to a complete stop before removing the lid.

Specific Functions

• Chopping/Minicing:

  Use the multi-purpose blade. Add ingredients to the bowl. Use the 'PULSE' function for controlled chopping. For finer results, process continuously.

• Slicing/Shredding:

  Attach the desired slicing or shredding disc. Turn the machine on, then feed ingredients through the feed tube using the food pusher. Ensure ingredients are firm for best results.

• Kneading Dough:

  Use the dough blade (if included). Add flour and other dry ingredients, then gradually add liquids while the machine is running on a low speed. Process until a ball of dough forms.

• Citrus Juicing:

  Attach the citrus juicer accessory. Place a container under the spout. Press halved citrus fruits onto the reamer while the machine is running.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your KitchenAid Food Processor.

1. Unplug Before Cleaning:

   Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning or disassembling.

2. Disassembly:

   Remove the food pusher, lid, blade/disc, and work bowl from the motor base.

3. Cleaning Parts:

   Wash the work bowl, lid, food pusher, and all accessories (blades, discs) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Note: The product specifications state "Hand Wash" and "Dishwasher safe?: No".

   Use a brush to clean hard-to-reach areas and around blades. Handle blades with extreme care due to their sharpness.

4. Cleaning the Motor Base:

   Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid.

5. Drying and Storage:

   Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing. Store blades and discs safely in their designated storage box to prevent accidental injury and keep them organized.
