This document serves as a comprehensive manual for the KitchenAid 5KFP0719 Food Processor, detailing its parts, functions, usage, maintenance, and safety guidelines.
Function Description:
The KitchenAid 5KFP0719 is a versatile food processor designed for various food preparation tasks, including chopping, mincing, puréeing, mixing, slicing, shredding, and kneading. It features a heavy-duty base with a 7-cup (1.7 L) work bowl and a 2-in-1 feed tube for processing different sizes of ingredients. The appliance is equipped with multiple accessories to handle a wide range of food types and textures, from soft fruits and vegetables to hard cheeses and yeast doughs. The control panel offers two continuous speeds (1 and 2) and a Pulse function for short bursts of high-speed processing, allowing for precise control over consistency.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model: 5KFP0719
- Work Bowl Capacity: 7-cup (1.7 L)
- Voltage: 220-240 V
- Frequency: 50-60 HZ
- Controls: Speed 1, Speed 2, O/Pulse
- Safety Features: Lid latch, cover interlock mechanism, automatic shut-off for overheating, and a design that prevents operation unless the work bowl cover is fully closed and the work bowl is properly seated on the base.
- Material: BPA-free work bowl.
Usage Features:
The food processor is designed for ease of assembly and operation.
- Assembly: The work bowl locks onto the base, aligning the handle with a raised button. The drive adapter then fits onto the drive pin in the work bowl. Blades or discs are placed on the drive adapter before the work bowl cover is attached, with the lid hinge pushing into the handle hinge and the lid latch securing it in place.
- Accessories:
- Multipurpose Stainless Steel Blade: Used for chopping cheese, chocolate, fruits, fresh herbs, nuts, tofu, vegetables, pasta sauce, pesto, salsa, sauces, batters, and puréeing cooked fruits and vegetables (except potatoes). It can also be used for mincing or puréeing at speed 2 or O/Pulse, and for chopping dried/sticky fruits and preparing mashed potatoes.
- Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc: This disc can be positioned for slicing (raised slicing blade up) or shredding (small, raised shredding blades up). It is suitable for slicing soft fruits (e.g., tomatoes, potatoes) at speed 1, and slicing/shredding hard fruits (e.g., cheese, chocolate, hard vegetables) at speed 2. For shredding, it handles soft vegetables (e.g., potatoes) at speed 1 and hard vegetables (e.g., cabbage, cheese, chocolate, hard fruits) at speed 2. The disc can be stored in a lower position within the bowl when not in use.
- Slicing Blade: An alternative to the reversible disc for slicing tasks.
- Dough Blade: Specifically designed for mixing and kneading yeast doughs, recommended for recipes using up to 710 mL (3 cups) of flour. It is used with O/Pulse for dry ingredients and speed 2 for liquids.
- 2-in-1 Feed Tube: Features a two-piece food pusher. The small feed tube and pusher are ideal for processing small or slender items like single carrots or celery stalks. The small pusher also has a hole at the bottom to slowly drizzle oil into ingredients at a constant rate.
- Operation: Select speed 1 or 2 for continuous operation, or use the O/Pulse button for short, high-speed bursts. The indicator light glows when the processor is running.
- Tips for Great Results:
- Chopping: Cut food into 2.5-3.75 cm (1 to 1½-inch) pieces for consistent results. Process using Pulse or speed 1.
- Puréeing: Add 60 mL (¼ cup) liquid per 235 mL (1 cup) of food.
- Slicing/Shredding: Position the cutting surface of the disc to the right of the feed tube for full rotation. Use appropriate pressure (light for soft, moderate for medium, firm for hard foods). Pack slender foods vertically in the feed tube to prevent uneven slices. For round foods, cut in halves or quarters.
- Dough: Use O/Pulse for dry ingredients, then speed 2 for liquids.
- General: Avoid overfilling the work bowl (1/2 to 2/3 full for thin mixtures, 3/4 full for thicker mixtures, 1/3 to 1/2 full for chopping). Do not process foods that are too hard to pierce with a sharp knife.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: All parts, including the work bowl, blades, and discs, are top-rack dishwasher-safe. For hand washing, avoid abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to prevent scratching or clouding. The base and cord should be wiped with a warm, damp cloth and thoroughly dried; do not immerse the base in water.
- Storage: The multipurpose blade, dough blade, both discs, and the drive adapter can be stored inside the work bowl when the food processor is not in use. The power cord can be wrapped around the cord storage on the bottom of the base and secured with a clip.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues such as the processor not turning on (check plug, bowl/lid alignment, button presses, fuse, temperature, motor lock) or not slicing/shredding properly (check disc position, ingredient suitability).
Safety Guidelines:
- Always read and obey all safety messages.
- Do not put the Food Processor in water or other liquid.
- Unplug the appliance when not in use, before assembly/disassembly, and before cleaning.
- Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs. Use the food pusher.
- Blades are sharp; handle with care.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.
- Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
- Do not fill the bowl above the maximum fill line.
- This appliance is intended for household and similar applications.
- Not intended for use by children or persons with reduced capabilities unless supervised.
- Avoid pouring hot liquid into the Food Processor due to sudden steaming.
- Do not perform functions such as grinding coffee beans, grains, hard spices, bones, or liquefying raw fruits/vegetables.
