How do you assemble the food processor for mixers?

Your food processor for mixers (5KSM2FPA) is assembled in the box, ready to help you slice, dice, shred and julienne your fresh ingredients. Firstly, attach it to your mixer following the instructions below, and then see how to switch between the various discs to achieve different results.

Here are the steps to attach the food processor to the mixer:

1. Turn the mixer off (speed '0') and unplug.
2. For mixers with a hinged attachment hub cover: flip up to open. For mixers with a removable attachment hub cover: turn the knob counterclockwise to remove the cover.
3. Insert the attachment into the attachment hub. Rotate the attachment back and forth if necessary. The pin on the attachment housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in its proper position.
4. Tighten the attachment knob until the food processor attachment is completely secured to the mixer.
5. Place a bowl or container under the food exit chute ... and you're all ready to go.

How to remove the food processor lid:

1. Grasp the feed tube on the interlock lid and turn it clockwise to remove it from the food processor attachment assembly.

How to install the reversible shredding disc:

1. Insert the liner into the attachment assembly so that the feed tubes line up and the liner lies flat.
2. Slide the disc adapter onto the drive pin.
3. Hold the reversible shredding disc by the two finger grips with the desired shredding side facing up. Install the disc on the disc adapter by fitting the adapter through the hole in the bottom of the disc until it is seated against the liner.
