Use the center feed tube and pusher to process small or slender items, or to add liquid while the Food Processor is running. When not using the small feed tube, lock the small pusher into place by turning it counter-clockwise.
Disassembling the Food Processor
NOTE: If you have difficulty removing
the pusher from the feed tube, it is likely that food particles have become lodged in the interlock system. To free the pusher, soak the work bowl cover in warm water or wash it in a dishwasher.
1. Turn the work bowl cover to the left and remove.
WARNING
Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep fingers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in

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 food pusher is inserted to the maximum fill line on the feed tube.
– See if the power cord is plugged
into a proper electrical outlet (see “Electrical Requirements” on page 5). If it is, unplug the Food Processor, then plug it into the same outlet again. 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 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 57-58. Do not return the Food Processor to the retailer – they do not provide service.

Food Processing Tips
USING THE MULTIPURPOSE BLADE
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food in 1 to 11⁄2
-inch pieces. Process food to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To puree cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes):
Add
1
4 cup liquid from recipe per cup of food. Process food, using short pulses, until finely chopped. Then process continuously until reaching desired texture. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To prepare mashed potatoes:
Insert chef’s bowl into the work bowl. Using the shredding disc, shred hot, cooked potatoes. Remove the chef’s bowl with potatoes. Place multipurpose blade in work bowl, and add shredded potatoes, softened butter, milk, and seasonings. Pulse 3 to 4 times, 2 to 3 seconds each time, until milk is absorbed and texture is smooth. Do not overprocess.
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
The food should be cold. Add 1⁄4 cup flour from recipe per 1⁄2 cup dried fruit. Process fruit, using short pulses, until reaching desired texture.
To finely chop citrus peel:
With sharp knife, peel colored portion (without white membrane) from citrus. Cut peel in small strips. Process until finely chopped.
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs or small quantities of vegetables:
With processor running, add food through the small feed tube. Process until chopped. For best results, make sure work bowl and herbs are very dry before chopping.
To chop nuts or make nut butters:
Process up to 3 cups of nuts to desired texture, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. For a coarser texture, process smaller batches, pulsing 1 or 2 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Pulse more often for finer texture. For nut butters, process continuously until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
To chop cooked or raw meat, poultry or seafood:
The food should be very cold. Cut in 1-inch pieces. Process up to 1 pound at a time to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if necessary.
To make bread, cookie, or cracker crumbs:
Break food into 11⁄2 to 2-inch pieces. Process until fine. For larger pieces, pulse 2 to 3 times, 1 to 2 seconds each time. Then process until fine.
To melt chocolate in a recipe:
Combine chocolate and sugar from recipe in work bowl. Process until finely chopped. Heat liquid from recipe. With processor running, pour hot liquid through the small feed tube. Process until smooth.
