Troubleshooting
• If your Food Processor should fail to
slice or shred 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.
English
• 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 Food Processor is plugged into
a proper electrical outlet (see “Electrical
Requirements” on page 3). If it is,
unplug the Food Processor, then plug it
into the same outlet again.
• 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.
WARNING
• 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
“O” 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
• 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.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire or electrical
shock.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the steps in this section, see the
KitchenAid warranty and after sales service
section on pages 27-28. Do not return the
Food Processor to the retailer – they do
not provide service.
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.

Food Processing Tips
To mince garlic or to chop fresh herbs
or small quantities of vegetables:
Using the
Multipurpose Blade
To chop fresh fruits or vegetables:
Peel, core, and/or remove seeds. Cut food
in 2.54 to 3.81 cm pieces. Process food
to desired size, using short pulses, 1 to 2
seconds each time. Scrape sides of bowl, if
necessary.
To chop nuts or make
nut butters:
Process up to 375 g (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 puree cooked fruits and vegetables
(except potatoes):
Add 60 ml (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 chop cooked or raw meat, poultry
or seafood:
To prepare mashed potatoes:
The food should be very cold. Cut in
2.54 cm pieces. Process up to 450 g at a
time to desired size, using short pulses,
1 to 2 seconds each time. Scrape sides of
bowl, if necessary.
Insert chef’s bowl (5KFPM776) 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.
For food processor models other than the
5KFPM776, the work bowl may be used
for the entire process.
To make bread, cookie, or
cracker crumbs:
Break food into 3.8 to 5 cm 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:
To chop dried (or sticky) fruits:
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.
The food should be cold. Add 30 g (1⁄4 cup)
flour from recipe per 60 g (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.
17
English
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.
Food Processing Tips
To slice or shred fruits or vegetables
that are long and relatively small in
diameter, such as celery, carrots, and
bananas:
To grate hard cheeses, such as
Parmesan and Pecorino:
English
Never attempt 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 2.54 cm pieces. Place in work bowl.
Process, using short pulses, until coarsely
chopped. Process continuously until finely
grated. Pieces of cheese can also added
through the small feed tube while the

Food Processing Tips
The dough blade is specially
designed for mixing and
kneading yeast dough quickly
and thoroughly. One minute or less of
operating time is all that is needed to form
a dough ball. Processing longer than one
minute will make the dough come apart
and stick to the sides of the bowl. For the
best results, do not knead recipes which use
more than 250 to 375 g (2-3 cups) of flour.
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.
USING THE EGG WHIP
To make soft egg white
meringue:
Food should be very cold. Cut in pieces to
fit feed tube. Process food using firm, even
pressure.
Place 3 egg whites and 1⁄4 teaspoon cream
of tartar in work bowl fitted with egg
whip. Process until foamy, about 30 to 45
seconds. With processor running, slowly
add 40 g (1⁄3 cup) sugar through the small
feed tube. Process until stiff peaks form,
about 21⁄2 to 3 minutes. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of mixture.
To shred firm and soft cheeses:
To whip cream:
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.
Place heavy cream in work bowl fitted
with egg whip. Process 30 seconds. With
processor running, add 2 tablespoons
powdered sugar through the small feed
tube. Process just until soft peaks form,
about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop processor as
necessary to check texture of mixture. With
processor running, add 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla,
if desired, through the small feed tube.
Process just until mixed. Do not overprocess.
To slice cooked meat or poultry,
including salami, pepperoni, etc.:
To slice or shred items that are
“pear-shaped” like sweet potatoes,
eggplant and squash:
Position food horizontally so that the
bigger/fatter side is to the left of the feed
tube when you are facing the unit. Process,
using even pressure on the food pusher.

Helpful Hints
English
7.Soft and medium-hard cheese may
spread out or roll up on the shredding
disc. To avoid this, shred only wellchilled 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 feed tube with the food.
For processing small or slender items,
the small feed tube in the two-piece
food pusher 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.
12.A few larger pieces of food may
remain on top of the disc after 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.
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 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
12. When chopping, the work bowl
should be no more than 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 full.
Use the mini bowl for up to 237 ml
(1 cup) of liquid or 63 g (1⁄2 cup) 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 small 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.).
20
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.
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.
