Frequently Asked Questions - HR7723 PHILIPS

How do I assemble the food processor?

Place the bowl on the motor unit, align the arrow, and turn clockwise to lock. Insert the desired disc or blade onto the drive shaft, then secure the lid. Ensure the lid locks into place before switching on.

What can I prepare with the HR7723?

You can chop vegetables, slice fruits, grate cheese, knead dough, and blend sauces. The included accessories allow for versatile food preparation.

How do I clean the food processor?

Detach all parts. Wash the bowl, lid, discs, and blades in warm soapy water or the dishwasher (top rack). Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.

Is the pulse function activated automatically?

No. To use pulse, press the pulse button momentarily for short bursts. This gives you precise control over chopping or mixing.

Why won't my food processor start?

Ensure the bowl is locked correctly on the base and the lid is secured. Check that the power cord is plugged in. If it still doesn't start, the thermal safety might have tripped; let it cool down for 15 minutes.

Can I process hot liquids in the food processor?

No. Let liquids cool to room temperature before processing. Hot liquids can cause pressure buildup and lead to leaks or accidents.

Which speed should I use for different tasks?

Use low speed for soft foods like fruits or cooked vegetables, and high speed for harder items like nuts or ice. Use pulse for controlled chopping.

How do I unlock the lid?

Turn the lid counterclockwise while pressing the release button (if present). Some models require you to pull the lid upward after turning.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Visit the Philips spare parts website or contact authorized dealers. Use the model number HR7723 to find compatible bowls, blades, and discs.

Can the bowl be used in a microwave?

No. The bowl is not microwave-safe. It is designed for use only on the food processor base.

Automatic cut-out

Read these instructions carefully before you start using the appliance

To prevent damage due to overheating, your appliance has been equipped with an automatic cut-out system. In case of overheating, this system will automatically cut off the power supply to the appliance. If you follow the instructions below, you can switch on the appliance again after you have let it cool down for 15 minutes.

If your appliance suddenly stops running:

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket
• Set the switch to position O
• Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes
• Put the mains plug back in the socket
• Switch on the appliance again.

Please contact your Philips dealer or an authorised Philips service centre if the automatic cut-out system is activated time and again.

Important

• Read the directions for use and look at the illustrations before you start using the appliance.
• Remove the protective cover from the blade each time you use it.
• Be very careful when you pick up the blade, the knife of the blender and the slicing/grating disc. They are very sharp!
• Thoroughly clean the parts that will come into contact with food before you use the appliance for the first time.
• Place the lid on the bowl in the right position. The built-in safety lock will now be deblocked and you will be able to turn on the appliance.
• Note that if both the blender and the bowl have been correctly mounted, only the blender will function.
• Never let the appliance run unattended.
• Never let children run the appliance.
• When you are mixing or blending liquids, do not exceed the maximum content indicated on the bowl or the blender (top line of the graduation).
• Do not exceed the maximum amounts and processing times indicated in the table.
• Wait until moving parts have stopped running before you remove the lid of the appliance.
• Never put your fingers or objects (e.g. a spatula) in the chute while the appliance is running. Only the pusher is to be used for this purpose.
• Never put your fingers or objects (e.g. a spatula) in the blender unless you have unplugged the appliance first.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water or any other liquid. Do not rinse it either.
• Unplug the appliance after use.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips, in order to avoid hazardous situations.
• Keep these directions for use for future reference.

Placing the bowl (B) (fig. 2)

• Put the bowl on the food processor as shown (1)
• Turn the handle in the direction of the arrow until the bowl cannot be moved any further and you hear a 'click' (2).

Placing the lid (C)

• Put the lid on the bowl as shown in fig. 3.
• Turn the lid with some force in the direction of the arrow until the lid will not move any further and you hear a 'click' (fig. 4-5).
• Make sure that the mark on the lid and the arrow on the bowl are directly opposite each other. The projection of the lid will now cover the opening in the handle of the bowl (fig. 6).

Chute (L) and pusher (M)

• The chute can be used to add liquid and solid ingredients (fig. 7).
- Use the pusher to push ingredients through the chute (fig. 8).
- You can also use the pusher to close the chute while the appliance is running to prevent dust or drops of liquid from escaping through the chute (fig. 9).

Built-in safety lock (F)

The motor unit as well as the lid (C) have been provided with marks. The appliance will only function if the arrow on the motor unit is placed directly opposite the mark on the lid. In this position, the projection (E) of the lid will cover the opening in the handle of the bowl.

How to use the appliance

Note: The appliance will only function if

• The screw cap (P) or the blender (Q-U) have been properly mounted onto the motor unit (A) and
  • The bowl (B) and the lid (C) have been placed on the motor unit in accordance with the instructions in this booklet.
• If both the blender and the bowl have been mounted correctly onto the motor unit, only the blender will function.

Set the speed control (N) to the position indicated in the table on pages 8-10 and switch the appliance on. When you have doubts about the right speed, always select the highest speed (setting 2).

Blade (G) 6

Be careful: the cutting edges of the blade are very sharp!

• The blade can be used for chopping, mixing, blending, pureeing and preparing puff pastry, crumble and shortcrust pastry.
• Remove the protective cover from the blade (fig. 10).
• Put the bowl on the motor unit (fig. 2) and fit the blade onto the driving shaft (fig. 11).

Tips:

• It is better not to chop large chunks with the blade; pre-cut them into pieces of approximately 3 cm before putting them in the food processor.
  • The appliance chops very quickly; let it run for short periods at a time, also when you are using the pulse setting (M), to prevent the food from becoming too finely chopped.
• Do not let the appliance run for too long when you are chopping (hard) cheese; the cheese will get too hot and will start to melt and become lumpy.

• If food sticks to the blade or to the inside of the bowl:

• turn the appliance off;

• remove the lid from the bowl;

13

You are not satisfied with the way the appliance functions?

If the appliance does not function the way you expect it to, consult the following table and read the relevant sections in the directions for use!

Problem:

The switch does not function

Possible solution:

Turn bowl and/or lid in the direction indicated as far as possible (until you hear a 'click').

Make sure that the arrows on the bowl and on the appliance as well as on the bowl and on the lid are placed directly opposite each other (see fig. 2 and 6).

Make sure that the blender jar or the screw cap have been properly placed and turn them in the direction indicated as far as possible.

The appliance has suddenly stopped running

This is probably the automatic cut-out system that has cut off the power supply to the appliance because it has overheated.

• Unplug the appliance
• Set the switch to position O
• Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes
• Put the mains plug back in the socket
• Switch on the appliance again.

If the automatic cut-out system is activated repeatedly, contact your Philips dealer or the Philips Service Centre in your country.

The chopping, slicing or grating result is not optimal

Select the correct speed. Look at the indications on the appliance and in the directions for use.

The result when whisking eggs is not optimal

You can try adding some lemon juice or salt. Make sure the emulsifying disc and the bowl are grease-free and select the right speed.

The result when whipping cream is not optimal

Use the emulsifying disc. Use cooled whipping cream (approximately 6 °C).

The dough is swung around in the bowl

Follow the instructions given in the directions for use carefully. Never add too much water.

Always use the accessory indicated in the table.

Do not exceed the maximum kneading time indicated.
