Troubleshooting
• If your Food Processor should
fail
to operate,
check the following:
- Make sure the work bowl and work bowl
cover are properly locked on the base,
and the large food pusher is inserted to
the maximum fill line on the feed tube
(approximately halfway down).
- See if the Food Processor is plugged
into a proper electrical outlet If it is,
unplug the Food Processor, then plug
it into the same outlet again.

Plug into a grounded
3 prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension
cord.
Failure to follow
these

Models KFPW760 & KFPW763
Fire Hazard
Do not use an extension cord.
Doing so can result in death
or fire.
If the Food Processor still does not
work, check the fuse or circuit breaker
on the electrical circuit the Food
Processor is connected to and make
sure the circuit is closed.

If your Food Processor should
fail to slice, shred, or cut when
using the disc:
Make sure the raised-blade side of the
disc is positioned face up on the disc
stem. The disc has a raised nub on the
top and grooves underneath to help
align it properly.
If your Food Processor lid won't
close when using the disc:
Make sure the disc is installed correctly,
with the raised nub on top, and is
positioned properly on the disc stem.
If the Food Processor shuts off
while it is running:
The Food Processor may be overheated.
If the motor exceeds a certain
temperature, it will automatically shut
off to prevent damage. This should
be an extremely rare occurrence. If it
happens, press the OFF Button and
wait 15 minutes for the Food Processor
to cool before resuming. If the Food
Processor still refuses to run, wait an
additional 15 minutes for the Food
Processor to cool.
If you have difficulty
removing
the
food pusher from the feed tube:
Food particles are probably lodged in
the interlock system. To free the pusher,
soak the work bowl cover in warm
water or wash it in a dishwasher.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the steps in this section, see the
KitchenAid Warranty and Service section
on pages 23-26. Do not return the Food
Processor to the retailer - they do not
provide service.
