This document outlines the features, operation, and maintenance of the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper, model KFC3511. Designed for household use, this appliance simplifies food preparation tasks such as chopping, pureeing, and mincing.
The KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper is a versatile kitchen appliance primarily designed for processing small amounts of food. Its core function is to chop and puree ingredients efficiently. The device is equipped with a powerful motor housed in a heavy-duty base, which drives a stainless steel multipurpose blade. This blade is engineered to handle various ingredients, from meats and vegetables to nuts and herbs. The chopper's two-speed settings, "Chop" and "Puree," allow users to achieve different consistencies, catering to a wide range of recipes. The "Chop" setting is ideal for everyday chopping needs, providing a coarser texture, while the "Puree" setting offers a higher speed for quickly pureeing ingredients to a smoother consistency. This dual functionality makes it suitable for tasks like preparing baby food, creating soup bases, or making bread crumbs.
The KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper is designed for ease of use with several user-friendly features.
One-Handed Operation: The appliance boasts top-mounted buttons for "Chop" and "Puree," enabling convenient one-handed operation. This design allows users to control the processing without needing to use both hands, enhancing efficiency and safety.
3.5 Cup Work Bowl: The BPA-free work bowl offers a generous capacity, allowing users to process a sufficient amount of ingredients for most household needs. Its design ensures easy removal from the base, simplifying the transfer of processed food.
Stainless Steel Multipurpose Blade: The razor-sharp blade is a key component, capable of processing small quantities of various foods, including meats, fresh or cooked fruits and vegetables, nuts, and herbs. A notable feature of the blade is its ability to lock onto the shaft, ensuring it stays in place when pouring out ingredients. The reverse spiral design of the blade is particularly effective, as it pulls foods down into the blade for uniform chopping, thereby minimizing the need to scrape the sides of the bowl during operation.
Domed Lid with Wet Ingredient Adder: The lid is designed to lock securely into place, which is essential for the chopper to operate. It also features a wet ingredient adder hole and well, allowing users to conveniently add liquid ingredients like olive oil during processing without having to remove the lid. This feature is particularly useful for emulsifying dressings or creating smooth purees.
Safety Interlocks: For user safety, the Food Chopper incorporates interlock mechanisms. The appliance will only operate when the work bowl and lid are properly aligned and securely locked into place on the heavy-duty base. Additionally, the chopper is designed to prevent operation if both "Chop" and "Puree" buttons are pressed simultaneously, ensuring controlled usage.
Power Cord Storage: The power cord can be wrapped neatly under the base, providing convenient storage and helping to keep countertops tidy when the appliance is not in use.
Spatula: An included spatula is provided to assist in removing chopped food from the sides of the bowl, ensuring that all ingredients are easily accessible and minimizing waste.
Operating Tips for Optimal Results:
Maintaining the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper is straightforward, with components designed for easy cleaning.
Disassembly for Cleaning: The chopper can be easily disassembled for thorough cleaning. The lid can be twisted clockwise and lifted off, followed by twisting the bowl clockwise and lifting it off the base. The blade can then be pulled straight up to unlock and remove it from the bowl.
Dishwasher-Safe Components: The work bowl, lid, and stainless steel multipurpose blade are all dishwasher-safe, specifically designed to be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. This feature significantly simplifies the cleaning process, saving time and effort.
Hand Washing: Alternatively, these components can also be washed by hand in hot, soapy water, then rinsed and dried.
Base Cleaning: The heavy-duty base, which houses the motor, should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It is crucial not to immerse the base in water or use abrasive cleaners, as this could damage the electrical components.
Blade Protection: To protect the sharp blade and ensure its longevity, it is recommended to always reassemble the Food Chopper after cleaning. This keeps the blade safely stored within the unit.
Power Cord Storage: The power cord can be wrapped under the base for convenient and safe storage, preventing tangles and damage.
These maintenance features ensure that the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper remains hygienic and in optimal working condition for extended use.
