CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
•
Keep your Cuisinart
®
Dicing Accessories for the
FP/SFP-13 Series Food Processors ready to use on
the kitchen counter.
• Keep the disc and grid out of reach of children.
• All parts except the housing base (of the food
processor) are dishwasher safe, and we recommend
washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack
only. Due to intense water heat, washing on the
bottom rack may cause damage over time. Insert the
cover with the feed tube facing up to ensure proper
cleaning. Remember to unload the dishwasher
carefully wherever you have placed sharp blades and
discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the cover, pusher, disc and
grid immediately after use so food won’t dry on
them.
• If you wash the Dicing Accessories by hand, do it
carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where
they may disappear from sight. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective. If necessary, use
a brush.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Handle and store disc and grid carefully. Their cutting
edges are very sharp. Storing in the storage case is
best.
Flat Work Bowl Cover
Operation
Use the flat cover with your
FP/SFP-13 Series
Food Processors
for added convenience when
your recipe calls for chopping, mixing, purée-
ing or kneading. It is particularly useful when
you are preparing baked goods such as cakes,
cookies, pies and breads.
NOTE: Do not use
flat work bowl cover for slicing,
shredding, or dicing.
•
To Assemble the Flat Cover
Begin with the work bowl and the metal blade
in place. Place the flat cover on the work
bowl so that the Cuisinart logo written on the
cover is face up and readable. Then turn cover
CLOCKWISE to lock into place. Make sure the
small pusher is in place before using.
•
To Disassemble the Flat Cover
Place one hand near the Cuisinart logo and one
hand on opposite end of cover; turn cover
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Lift cover up and off
work bowl. Do not use the Flat Cover with any of
the slicing or shredding discs. Use only with the
metal blade or dough blade.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Problem: Food is stuck in the grid.
Solution:
• First, unplug unit. Carefully remove dicing
disc. Then, using the cleaning tool, carefully
reach into the large openings on either side of
grid to remove large food pieces.
• Do not use your fingers to clean the grid.
ONLY USE THE CLEANING TOOL.
• Use the long, single tooth on the cleaning
tool handle to push stubborn food through
grid.
2. Problem: Pieces of food are not evenly cut.
Solution:
• Pack items closest to the left in medium
or small feed tube.
• Use the small feed tube for smaller items.
• Apply even pressure when using the pusher.
