• 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 blade.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping/mixing
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Food Processing
1. Problem: The food is unevenly processed
when chopping.
Solution:
• The ingredients should be cut evenly into
½- to 1-inch pieces before processing.
• Process in batches to avoid overloading.
2. Problem: Slices are uneven or slanted.
Solution:
• Place evenly cut food, cut side down, into
the feed tube. Always use the smallest feed
tube possible.
• Apply even pressure on the pusher.
3. Problem: Food falls over in feed tube.
Solution:
• Feed tube should be packed full for best
results.
4. Problem: Some food remains on top of the disc.
Solution:
• It is normal for small pieces to remain;
cut remaining bits by hand and add to
processed ingredients.
Dough Kneading
1. Problem: Motor slows down.
Solution:
• Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove
half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too wet (see number 8).
If motor speeds up, continue processing.
If not, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time,
until the motor speeds up. Process until
dough cleans the sides of the work bowl.
2. Problem: Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients.
Solution:
• Always start the food processor before
adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady
stream, or through the drizzle hole in the
pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to
absorb it. If liquid is added too quickly,
wait until ingredients in the work bowl have
mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly
(do not turn off the machine). Pour liquid onto
dough as it passes under feed tube opening;
do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of
the work bowl.
3. Problem: Blade rises in work bowl.
Solution:
• Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to
rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately
add 2 tablespoons of flour through the feed
tube while the machine is running.
4. Problem: Dough doesn’t clean inside of the
work bowl.
Solution:
• Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove
half and process in two batches.
• Dough may be too dry (see number 7).
• Dough may be too wet (see number 8).
5. Problem: Nub of dough forms on top of blade
and does not become uniformly kneaded.
