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™ 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

⁄

2

 to 

2

⁄

3

 full. For thicker 

mixtures, fill work bowl up to 

3

⁄

4

 full. 

For liquids, fill up to the maximum 
level as described on page 13. When 
chopping, the work bowl should be 
no more than 

1

⁄

3

 to 

1

⁄

2

 full. Use the 

mini bowl for up to 1 cup (235 ml) of 
liquid or 

1

⁄

2

 cup (120 ml) solids. 

4.  Position slicing discs so the cutting 

surface is just 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.

  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 a spatula. 

 11. When food quantity reaches the 

bottom of a slicing or shredding disc, 
remove the food.
