Operating Your Food Processor - KitchenAid 5 CUP FOOD PROCESSOR Instructions And Recipes Manual

Operating Your Food Processor

• Before operating the food
processor, be sure the work bowl,
blades and work bowl cover are
properly assembled on the power
base (see page 8).
• The Clean Touch OFF/ON/PULSE
control pads take just a touch of
your finger for optimum control
and convenience in operating the
food processor. By touching the ON
control pad, the unit will run
continuously until you touch the
OFF control pad.
• The PULSE control pad helps to
better regulate the degree of
processing. By alternately pressing
and releasing the PULSE pad, the
food processor will be quickly
turned on and off. This allows you
to control the exact length and
frequency of processing since the
KitchenAid food processor performs
in just a matter of seconds.
NOTE: If unit fails to operate, check
to be sure that both the work bowl
and cover are properly positioned
on the power base. See Assembling
Your Food Processor, page 8.
• To stop your food processor, press
the OFF control pad. Wait until the
blade or disc has come to a
complete stop before removing the
work bowl cover. Be sure you push
the OFF pad before removing the
work bowl cover or unplugging the
unit.
WARNING
!
Rotating Blade Hazard
Always use food
pusher.
Keep fingers out of
openings.
Keep away from
children.
Failure to do so can
result in amputation or
cuts.
AUTOMATIC BRAKE: When the food
processor is turned OFF, the
automatic brake stops the action of
the blade or disc within seconds. The
brake provides an additional measure
of safety as you remove the work
bowl cover.
• Cut food to fit feed tube vertically
or horizontally. Pack feed tube
securely in order to keep food
positioned properly. Use the food
pusher to apply even downward
pressure to process the food.
