CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart
®
Elemental 11 Food
Processor ready to use on the kitchen counter.
When not in use, leave it unplugged.
• Keep the blade and discs out of the reach
of children.
• All parts except the housing base are dishwasher
safe, and we recommend washing them in the
dishwasher on the top rack only. Due to intense
water heat, washing the work bowl, cover and
accessories on the bottom rack may cause
damage over time. Insert the cover with the feed
tube facing up to ensure proper cleaning. Insert
the work bowl and pusher upside down for
drainage. Remember to unload the dishwasher
carefully wherever you have placed sharp blades
and discs.
• To simp l i fy cleaning, rinse the w ork bowl, cover,
pusher and blade or disc immediately after use
so food won’t dry on them. Be sure to position
the pusher upside down for drainage. If food
lodges in the pusher, remove it by running water
through it, or use a bottle brush.
• If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do it
carefully. When handling, use the plastic hubs.
Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they
may disappear from sight. To clean the metal
blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold
the blade by its plastic center and move it rapidly
up and down on the center shaft of the bowl.
Use of a spray attachment is also effective. If
necessary, use a brush.
• The work bowl is made of SAN plastic. It should
not be placed in a microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with a
soapy, nonabrasive material. Be sure to dry it
thoroughly.
• If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray them
with a spot remover and wipe with a damp
sponge.
• If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the
procedure and wipe the area with a damp
sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on the
motor shaft. No blade or disc should be placed on
the shaft except when the processor is about to
be used.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Like all powerful electrical appliances, a food
processor should be handled with care. Follow
these guidelines to protect yourself and your
family from misuse that could cause injury.
• Handle and store metal blade and discs carefully.
Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put blade or discs on the motor shaft until
the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on
the motor shaft as far as it will go.
• Always insert the metal blade in the work bowl
before putting ingredients in bowl.
• When slicing or shredding food, always use the
pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into
feed tube.
• Always wait for the blade or disc to stop
spinning before you remove the pusher assembly
or cover from the work bowl.
• Always unplug the unit before removing food,
cleaning or putting on or taking off parts.
• Always remove work bowl from base of machine
before you remove the chopping/mixing/dough
blade.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from
falling out of the work bowl when emptying the
bowl. Remove it before tilting the work bowl.
TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food processor operates on a
standard line operating current. The appropriate
voltage and frequency for your machine are shown
on a label on the bottom of the base.
An automatic, temperature-controlled circuit
breaker in the motor ensures complete protection
against motor burnout. If the processor runs for an
exceptionally long time when chopping, mixing or
kneading a thick or heavy mixture in successive
batches, the motor may overheat. If this happens,
the processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for the
motor to cool before proceeding. It will usually
cool within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could
take an hour.
Safety switches prevent the machine from operating
when the work bowl or the cover is not locked into
position. The motor stops within seconds when the
motor is turned off; and when the pusher assembly is
removed, a fast-stop circuit also enables the motor to
stop within seconds.
Cuisinart offers a Limited Three-Year Warranty on
the entire machine.
