User Manual for Kenmore 11-Cup Food Processor

Quick Guide from the Manual

This Kenmore 11-Cup Food Processor is designed for household use. It features an interlock system that prevents operation unless the bowl and cover are securely locked. Always use the food pusher to feed items into the chute; never use your hands. The unit is not intended for ice, whipping cream, beating egg whites, or grinding hard items like coffee beans or spices.

Important Safeguards

• Always unplug the appliance when not in use, before cleaning, or when assembling/disassembling parts.
• Never immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
• Blades and discs are extremely sharp; handle with care.
• Do not operate if the cord or plug is damaged.
• Use only recommended accessories to avoid fire or electric shock.

Assembly

Base and Bowl: Place the base on a flat, dry surface. Align the bowl handle with the unlock icon on the base and turn counterclockwise until it clicks into place.

Cover: Place the cover on the bowl, aligning the arrow with the unlock icon. Turn counterclockwise until it clicks.

Food Pusher: The assembly consists of a large and small pusher. Align the raised seam on the large pusher with the slot in the interlock switch. Insert the large pusher into the oval chute, then insert the small pusher into the circular chute.

Operating Instructions

Controls:

• PULSE: Turn counterclockwise and hold for short tasks like chopping nuts or vegetables.
• ON: Turn clockwise for continuous operation, ideal for less tender foods.

Chopping: Place the chopping blade on the center post. Add food to the bowl, lock the cover, and use the Pulse or On setting.

Slicing or Shredding: Slide the disc drive adapter onto the center post. Place the slice/shred disc with the desired side facing up. Lock the cover and fill the chute with food, using the appropriate pusher.

Care and Cleaning

• Turn the control knob to OFF and unplug the unit before cleaning.
• Wipe the base with a damp cloth; do not immerse in liquid.
• Removable parts (bowl, cover, blades, discs) can be washed by hand or in the top rack of a dishwasher.
• Do not use rough scouring pads.
• To remove stains from the bowl, use a paste of 2 tablespoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon warm water.

Processing Tips

Hot foods and liquids must be under 120°F to be processed. Process small amounts of liquid (2 cups or less) at a time to prevent leakage.
