are not followed.

Electrical Requirements

Model 5KFPM770:

220-240 Volts A.C.

Hertz: 50/60 Hz

NOTE: Model 5KFPM770 has a

grounded plug. To reduce the risk of

electrical shock, this plug will fit in

an outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit in the outlet, contact a

qualified electrician. Do not modify

the plug in any way.

Do not use an extension cord. If the

power supply cord is too short, have

a qualified electrician or serviceman

install an outlet near the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put Food Processor in

water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

4. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return

appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination,

repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer

may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while

processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage

to the Food Processor. A scraper may be used but must be used only

when the Food Processor is not running.

11. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

12. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base

without first putting bowl properly in place.

13. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

14. Never feed food by hand. Always use the food pusher.

15. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

16. This product is designed for household use only.

will go out and an automatic

brake will stop the action of the

blade or disk within seconds.

Wait until the blade or disk

comes to a complete stop before

removing the work bowl cover.

Be sure to turn off the Food

Processor before removing the

work bowl cover, or before

unplugging the unit.

NOTE: If the unit fails to operate,

make sure the work bowl and cover

are properly locked on the base, and

the food pusher is inserted to the

maximum fill line on the feed tube

(see “Preparing the Food Processor

for Use“ starting on page 7).

Using the Food Processor

The 2-Piece Food Pusher

To slice or shred small items, insert

the 2-piece food pusher into the

feed tube, then turn the small center

pusher clockwise to unlock and

remove. Use the center feed tube

and pusher to process small or

slender items, or to add liquid while

the Food Processor is running. When

not using the small feed tube, lock

the small pusher into place by

turning it counter-clockwise.

Using the Pulse Control

The pulse control allows precise

control of the duration and frequency

of processing. It’s great for jobs which

require a light touch. Just press and

hold the “Pulse” Button to start

processing, and release it to stop. The

indicator light will glow each time

the “Pulse” Button is pressed.

Disassembling the Food Processor

1. Turn the work bowl cover to the

left and remove.

NOTE: If you have difficulty

removing the pusher from the feed

tube, it is likely that food particles

have become lodged in the interlock

system. To free the pusher, soak the

work bowl cover in warm water or

wash it in a dishwasher.

using the finger grips located

along the top edge of the bowl.

5. The multipurpose blade can be

removed from the work bowl

before the contents are emptied.

The blade can also be held in

place as you remove food: grasp

the work bowl from the bottom

and place one finger through the

center opening to grip the blade

shaft. Then remove food from the

bowl and blade with a spatula.

Care and Cleaning

4. To prevent damage to the

interlock system, always store the

work bowl and work bowl cover

in the unlocked position when

not in use.

Press the “O” Button and unplug

the Food Processor before
