Hints
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
1. To avoid damage to the blade or motor,
do not process food that is so hard or
firmly frozen that it cannot be pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife. If a piece
of hard food, such as a carrot, becomes
wedged or stuck on the blade, stop the
processor and remove the blade. Gently
remove food from the blade.
2. When cutting and packing food
items in the Ultra Wide Mouth
TM
feed
tube, do not exceed the maximum fill
line. This will permit the large pusher
to engage the interlock and the unit
to operate.
3. Do not overfill work bowl or mini
bowl. For thin mixtures, fill work
bowl up to 1/2to % full. For thicker
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3/4full.
For liquids, fill up to the maximum
level as described on page 13. When
chopping, the work bowl should be
no more than % to 1/2full. Use the
mini bowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of
liquid or 1/2cup (120 ml) solids.
4. Position slicing discs so the cutting
surface isjust to the right of the feed
tube. This allows the blade a full
rotation before contacting the food.
5. To capitalize on the speed of the
processor, drop ingredients to be
chopped through the narrow feed tube
while the processor is running.

Different foods require varying degrees
of pressure for best shredding and
slicing results. In general, use light
pressure for soft, delicate foods
(strawberries, tomatoes, etc.), moderate
pressure for medium foods (zucchini,
potatoes, etc.), and firmer pressure
for harder foods (carrots, apples, hard
cheeses, partially frozen meats, etc.).
Soft and medium-hard cheese
may spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.
Sometimes slender foods, such as
carrots or celery, fall over in the
feed tube, resulting in an uneven
slice. To minimize this, cut food in
several pieces and pack the medium
feed tube in the three-piece pusher
with the food (models KFPW763 &
KFPM773). For
processing small
or slender items,
the narrow
feed tube (all
models) will
prove especially
convenient.
When preparing a cake or cookie
batter or quick bread, use the
multipurpose blade to cream fat and
sugar first. Add dry ingredients last.
Place nuts and fruit on top of flour
mixture to prevent overchopping.
Process nuts and fruits, using short
pulses, until blended with other
ingredients. Do not overprocess.
When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using a spatula.
When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding disc,
remove the food.
