Troubleshooting
• If your Food Processor should fail
to operate, check the following:
- Make surethe 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.
Models KFPM770 & KFPM773
Electrical Shock Hazard
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
instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Models KFPW760 & KFPW763
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 exceedsa certain
temperature, it will automatically shut
off to prevent damage. This should
be an extremely rare occurrence. If it
happens, press the OFFButton 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
Processorto 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.
/
Fire Hazard
Do not use an extension cord.
Doing so can result in death
or fire.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the steps in this section, seethe
KitchenAid Warranty and Service section
on pages 23-26. Do not return the Food
Processorto the retailer - they do not
provide service.

Food Processing Tips
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Romano:
Neverattempt to process cheese that
cannot be pierced with the tip of a sharp
knife. You can use the multi-purpose
blade to grate hard cheeses. Cut cheese
in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Place inwork
bowl. Process,using short pulses, until
coarsely chopped. Processcontinuously
until finely grated. Piecesof cheese can
also be added through the narrow feed
tube while the processor is running.
USING A SLICING,
SHREDDING, OR
CUTTING DISC
NOTE: When cutting and
packing food items in the Ultra Wide
Mouth TM feed tube, do not exceedthe
maximum fill line. This will permit the
pusher to engage the interlock and the
unit to operate.
To cutjulienne, or match stick, strips
of vegetables and fruits:
Cut food to fit feed tube horizontally.
Position food horizontally in feed tube.
Process, using even
pressure to make plank-
like slices. Re-stack slices
and position vertically
or horizontally in feed
tube. Process, using even
pressure.
To slice or shred fruits or vegetables
that are long and relatively small
in diameter, such as celery, carrots
and bananas:
Cut food to fit the
feed tube vertically or
horizontally, and pack
feed tube securely to
keep food positioned
properly. Processusing
even pressure. Usethe
medium-size feed tube in the 3-piece
food pusher, and process with the
medium pusher (KFPW763 & KFPM773).
Or use the narrow feed tube in either
the two-piece food pusher (KFPW760
& KFPM770) or three-piece pusher.
Position food vertically in the tube with
the small end going in first and the large
end processed last. Use the narrow food
pusher to process the food.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are round, such as
onions, apples, and green peppers:
Peel, core, and remove seeds. Cut in
halves or quarters to fit feed tube.
Position in feed tube. Process using
even pressure.
To slice or shred fruits and
vegetables that are small, such
as strawberries, mushrooms and
radishes:
Position food vertically or horizontally in
layerswithin the feed tube. Fill feed tube
in order to keep food positioned properly,
but do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Process,using even pressure. Use the
medium-size feed tube in the 3-piece food
pusher, and process with the medium
pusher (KFPW763 & KFPM773). Or usethe
narrow feed tube in either the two-piece
food pusher (KFPW760 & KFPM770) or
three-piece pusher. Position food vertically
in the tube and use the narrow food
pusher to process the food.

Food Processing Tips
To shred
spinach and
otherleaves:
Stack leaves. Roll
up and stand
up in feed tube.
Process, using
even pressure.
To slice uncooked meat or poultry,
such as stir-fry meats:
Cut or roll food to fit feed tube. Wrap
and freeze food until hard to the touch,
30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on
thickness of food. Check to be sure you
can still pierce food with the tip of a
sharp knife. If not, allow to thaw slightly.
Process, using even pressure.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces
to fit feed tube. Process food using firm,
even pressure.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
Firm cheese should be very cold. For
best results with soft cheeses, such as
mozzarella, freeze 10 to 15 minutes
before processing. Cut to fit feed tube.
Process, using even pressure.
To slice or shred items that are
"pear-shaped" like sweet potatoes,
eggplant and squash:
Position food horizontally so that the
bigger/fatter side isto the left of the feed
tube when you are facing the unit. Process,
using even pressure on the food pusher.
USING THE
DOUGH BLADE
The dough blade isspecially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly and
thoroughly. For the best results, do not
knead recipes which use more than
2-3 cups (475-710 ml) of flour.
USING THE EGG WHIP
To make soft egg
: white meringue:
Place 3 egg whites and
1/4teaspoon (1 ml) cream of tartar in
work bowl fitted with egg whip. Process
until foamy, about 30 to 45 seconds.
With processor running, slowly add
% cup (80 ml) sugar through the narrow
feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form,
about 21/2to 3 minutes. Stop processor
as necessaryto check texture of mixture.
To whip cream:
Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted
with egg whip. Process30 seconds. With
processor running, add 2 tablespoons
(30 ml) powdered sugar through the
narrow feed tube. Processjust until soft
peaks form, about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop
processor asnecessary to check texture
of mixture. With processor running, add
1/2teaspoon (2 ml) vanilla, if desired,
through the narrow feed tube. Process
,just until mixed. Do not overprocess.

Helpful 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 asa 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. Forthin mixtures, fill work
bowl up to 1/2to % full. Forthicker
mixtures, fill work bowl up to 3/4full.
For liquids, fill up to the maximum
level asdescribed 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. Tocapitalize on the speed of the
processor,drop ingredients to be
chopped through the narrow feed tube
while the processor is running.
6.
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.).
7.
Soft and medium-hard cheese
may spread out or roll up on the
shredding disc. To avoid this, shred
only well-chilled cheese.
8.
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.
9.
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.
10.
When shredded or sliced food piles
up on one side of the bowl, stop the
processor and redistribute the food
using aspatula.
11.
When food quantity reaches the
bottom of a slicing or shredding disc,
remove the food.

Helpful Hints
12. A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the discafter slicing
or shredding. If desired, cut these by
hand and add to mixture.
13. Organize processing tasks to
minimize bowl cleanup. Process dry
or firm ingredients before liquid
ingredients.
14. To clean ingredients from the
multipurpose blade easily,just empty
the work bowl, replace the lid, and
pulse 1 to 2 seconds to spin the
blade clean.
15. After removing the work bowl cover,
place it upside down on the counter.
This will help keep the counter clean.
16. To remove the contents of the
work bowl without removing the
multipurpose blade, grasp the
work bowl from the bottom and
place one finger through the center
opening to hold the blade in place.
Then remove food from the bowl
and blade with a spatula.
17. Your Food Processor is not designed
to perform the following functions:
• grind coffee beans, grains, or hard
spices
• grind bones or other inedible parts
of food
• liquefy raw fruits or vegetables
• slice hard-cooked eggs or unchilled
meats
18. If any plastic parts should discolor
due to the types of food processed,
clean them with lemon juice.
