KitchenAid KFP1133CU 11-Cup Food Processor Instruction Manual

Introduction

The KitchenAid KFP1133CU 11-Cup Food Processor with the exclusive Exactslice System is designed to simplify your food preparation tasks. This versatile appliance allows you to slice from thick to thin with a single slide of the lever, offering multiple optimized speeds and distinctly designed stainless steel blades. Easily slice, shred, knead, puree, and chop food quickly and efficiently.

Safety Instructions

Always ensure the food processor is properly assembled before operation. The safety interlock system prevents the appliance from turning on if components like the bowl, lid, and feed tube pusher are not correctly locked into place. Keep hands and utensils out of the work bowl while operating to prevent injury. Blades are sharp; handle with care. Unplug the appliance when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning.

• 11-Cup Work Bowl: The primary processing bowl for larger quantities.
• 3-Cup Mini Work Bowl: An insert for processing smaller amounts of food.
• Lid with 3-in-1 Wide Mouth Feed Tube: Accommodates various food sizes and includes a small, medium, and large pusher.
• Multi-Purpose Blade: For chopping, mincing, and pureeing.
• Dough Blade: Specifically designed for kneading dough.
• External Adjustable Slicing Disc: Allows you to adjust slicing thickness with a lever.
• Reversible Shredding Disc: Offers both fine and coarse shredding options.

Setup

1. Place the Work Bowl: Position the 11-cup work bowl onto the motor base. Twist clockwise until it locks securely. For smaller tasks, insert the 3-cup mini work bowl into the 11-cup bowl.
2. Insert the Blade/Disc: Place the desired blade (multi-purpose or dough) onto the drive adapter in the work bowl. For slicing or shredding, place the drive adapter, then the chosen disc onto the drive shaft.
3. Attach the Lid: Place the lid onto the work bowl, aligning the handle with the work bowl handle. Twist clockwise until the lid locks into place. Ensure the feed tube pusher is also inserted correctly into the feed tube. The safety interlock system requires all components to be correctly assembled for the processor to operate.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled, plug in the food processor. Use the control buttons to select your desired function:

• Low: Ideal for softer ingredients or when precise control is needed.
• High: Use for harder ingredients, pureeing, or when maximum power is required.
• Pulse: Provides short bursts of power for chopping or dicing, allowing for better control over consistency.

Cleaning and Maintenance

All parts except the motor base are dishwasher safe. For best results, wash the work bowls, lids, blades, and discs on the top rack of your dishwasher. The motor base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor base in water.

Troubleshooting

• Food Processor Will Not Turn On: Ensure all components (work bowl, lid, and feed tube pusher) are correctly assembled and locked into place. The safety interlock system prevents operation if any part is not secure.
• Uneven Processing: For chopping, use the Pulse function to achieve desired consistency. For slicing/shredding, ensure ingredients fit properly in the feed tube and are pushed down evenly.
• Food Stuck in Blades: Turn off and unplug the appliance. Carefully remove the lid and work bowl, then dislodge food using a spatula or utensil. Never use fingers.
