Frequently Asked Questions - KFP800 Kambrook

How do I assemble the KFP800 food processor for the first time?

First, place the motor base on a flat surface. Ensure Spindle 1 is attached to the bowl base (turn clockwise to lock). Then lock the bowl onto the motor base by aligning handle with 'ALIGN' and turning anti-clockwise until 'LOCK'. Insert Spindle 2, then choose your blade and push it onto Spindle 2. Finally, attach the lid, aligning marks, and lock it. The processor will not run unless properly assembled.

What attachments are included with the KFP800?

The KFP800 includes a stainless steel processing blade for chopping, a dough blade for kneading, a whisking disc for whipping cream and eggs, and a set of stainless steel slicing, shredding, and grating blades that fit into a blade holding disc. Also included are a removable feed chute, food pusher, spindle set, and a spatula.

Can the KFP800 knead dough?

Yes, the KFP800 comes with a dough blade specifically for kneading yeast dough, pastry, and batter. The manual provides recipes for pizza dough, cheese and bacon rolls, and more. Do not process dough for longer than 1 minute continuously if heavy; otherwise, up to 3 minutes with rest.

What happens if the food processor stops suddenly during use?

The KFP800 has overload protection. If the motor overheats, it will stop automatically. Turn off and unplug the appliance, allow it to cool for about 30 minutes, then it can be restarted. If the bowl was overloaded, remove some food and process in smaller batches.

Is the KFP800 dishwasher safe?

No, none of the parts are dishwasher safe. Wash the processing bowl, lid, feed chute, blades, and other accessories by hand in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The motor base should only be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

What is the maximum capacity of the KFP800 bowl?

The bowl has a maximum food level line for solids (do not exceed) and a maximum liquid level line. For thin liquids like water or milk, do not fill above the liquid mark, but thin liquids should not be processed in the bowl – they may overflow. Always add thicker ingredients first to reduce overflow risk.

Can I process hot liquids in the KFP800?

No, do not process hot or boiling liquids. Allow liquids to cool before placing them into the processing bowl. The bowl is not designed for hot ingredients.

How do I clean the sharp blades safely?

Always handle blades by their plastic central part as the cutting edges are extremely sharp. Wash them in warm soapy water separately from other items. Dry carefully. Use the supplied blade protector when storing the processing blade. Do not let blades soak for extended periods.

Where can I get spare parts or service for my KFP800?

In Australia, contact Kambrook Customer Service at 1300 139 798 or visit www.kambrook.com.au. In New Zealand, call 0800 273 845 or visit www.kambrook.co.nz. Authorized service centers can provide blades, bowl, and other parts.

Can I use the KFP800 to chop ice or make smoothies?

The manual does not recommend processing ice or thin liquids such as water, milk, stock, or juice in the bowl – these may cause overflow. The processor is designed for chopping vegetables, meats, nuts, and making dough, batters, and purees. For smoothies, use a blender instead.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

- Before disassembling any parts or storing, always switch the Food Processor off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug from the outlet.

- Wash the processing bowl, lid, removable feed chute, spindles, stainless steel blades, dough blade, whisking disc, processing blade, food pusher and spatula in warm soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

- Never use any abrasive cleaners.

- Do not place any parts in the dishwasher.

- Do not allow the processing blade and the stainless steel blades to soak in water for an extended period of time as this may damage the metal finish.

- The processing blade and stainless steel blades are extremely sharp! Use caution when handling and storing these parts. Always store the processing blade with the protective cover provided.

- The cutting edges of the processing blade are extremely sharp; it should only be held by its central plastic part. Wash in warm soapy water and carefully dry.

- Wipe the motor housing with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents or cloths which can damage the surface). Dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.

- DO NOT immerse the motor base, power plug or cord in water or any other liquid.

To Store:

- Store the stainless steel blades in the storage compartment located on the side of the motor base (See Fig. 15).

- Insert Spindle 2 onto Spindle 1 inside the processing bowl. Place the whisking disc, dough blade, the processing blade with the protective cover and then the blade holding disc on top of Spindle 2. Attach the lid to the processing bowl. Insert the removable feed chute inside the lid. Put the food pusher inside the removable feed chute.

- The blade holding disc can also be stored on the rear side of the motor base. Insert the tab found behind the blade holding disc inside the hole on the rear side of the motor base. Push the blade holding disc down (See Fig. 16). The blade holding disc is now securely locked onto the motor base.

- Store the spatula separately.

NOTE: Do not put any parts of the Food Processor in the dishwasher.

- Remove the power cord from under the tabs of the cord channel found on the bottom side of the motor base (See Fig. 17).

- Push the power cord into the cord storage until the cord is inside the motor base, except for the plug (See Fig. 18).
