in warm, soapy water and rinsed and dried
thoroughly. The blender jar can also be placed
upside down in dishwasher.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp
cloth to remove any residue and dry thoroughly.
Never submerge the motor base in water or other
liquids, or place in a dishwasher.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender blade
assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of
dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and
fill halfway with warm water. Run on LOW for 15
seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Rinse
and dry all parts thoroughly.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.

FOOD PROCESSOR
OPERATION
Turn the dial to LOW or HIGH for continuous
operation. Motor will start if you have followed
assembly instructions.
To turn motor off, turn the dial to OFF.
Turn dial to PULSE and alternately “pulse and
release” in short bursts until ingredients have
reached desired consistency.
Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop
processor.
TIPS WHEN USING THE FOOD
PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE,
AND MIX
1. Cut food into ½- to 1-inch pieces. You will get
a more even chop if you start with pieces that
are all the same size. You can put in up to 1
cup of food at a time. If you want to process
more, do it in batches.
2. It is recommended to use the PULSE function
to chop food. With pulse-chopping technique,
you can get an even chop without danger of
overprocessing. Check texture by looking
through work bowl. Be careful not to
overprocess. For a coarse chop, pulse
only a few times.
3. If you want a finer chop or purée, turn the dial
to HIGH and let machine run continuously
until the food is chopped as fine as you want
it. Check frequently through clear cover or
bowl to avoid over-chopping. Use a plastic
spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick
to inside of bowl.
4. Onions and other food with a high water
content turn into a smooth purée very quickly.
Do not over-chop – look at food frequently
through work bowl.
5. To purée, follow same procedure for
chopping, but let machine run until food is
a smooth purée.
6. New users are often surprised at how fast the
processor works. You will quickly get used to
its great speed.
7. These are some conditions that affect
your results:
• Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should
be about the same size.
• Amount of food you process – don’t add
too much.
• Type of processing you choose – continuous
or pulse-chopping.
ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING
1. To add liquid while the machine is running,
pour it through open feed tube. This is
especially useful when making mayonnaise or
dressings.
2. A small hole in the pusher allows you to add
liquids in a very slow, steady stream – useful
when making sauces or dressings.
3. When you want to add small pieces of food
such as cheese, meat or garlic cloves while
machine is running, drop them through open
feed tube.
4. To prevent spills when adding sugar and other
dry ingredients, use a funnel.
REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD
Before removing processed food, turn dial to OFF
and wait for blade to stop spinning. Then remove
cover by turning it counterclockwise. Never try to
remove cover and work bowl together; this can
damage work bowl.
It is important not to let metal blade fall out of
work bowl as you empty it.
Here are two ways to prevent the blade from
falling out:
1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove
food from around blade. Carefully remove
blade by holding onto the plastic hub.
2. Hold top of blade in place with finger or
spatula while pouring out processed food.
At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off
motor base or hold the collar at the base, turn the
handle of the bowl counterclockwise and lift work
bowl straight up.
NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food may become
wedged between the blade and the work bowl. If
this happens, turn to remove the cover, lift the
blade out carefully and remove the wedged piece.
Empty the bowl, reinsert the blade and lock the
cover into place. Process smaller amounts of the
food at one time.
TIPS WHEN USING THE FOOD
PROCESSOR TO SLICE AND SHRED
1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base
in the usual way. (See page 8.)
2. Use moderate pressure with one hand to
guide food down with the pusher, while using
your other hand to turn the dial to LOW or
HIGH.
3. Turn dial to the OFF position and wait until
disc stops spinning before removing cover.
When it stops, remove cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Next, remove slicing/
shredding disc before removing work bowl.
To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter
stem and lift it straight up. To remove work
bowl, hold work bowl collar, turn work bowl
counterclockwise and lift it straight up to
remove it from base. Never try to remove
cover and work bowl together; this could
damage work bowl.

PROCESSING WITH THE FOOD PROCESSOR
CHOPPING BLADE
FOOD HOW TO PREPARE
Fruit and vegetables Peel and core if necessary. Remove large, hard pits and seeds. Cut into
¾-inch pieces and process on HIGH up to 1 cup at a time.
Meat, poultry and fish These should be very cold, but not frozen. First, cut into ¾-inch pieces.
Put up to ½ pound in work bowl. PULSE until desired consistency is
reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to avoid overprocessing.
Bread, crackers or
cookies
Break into 1-inch pieces and process on HIGH continuously until texture
for crumbs is fine. For seasoned crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered
crumbs, dribble melted butter through feed tube while processing. Process
no more than 1 cup at a time.
Crumbs for crusts Chop crackers or cookies as described in preceding paragraph. Add other
ingredients as specified by recipe. PULSE until combined. Process no more
than 1 cup at a time.
Hard cheese – grated If it is too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to chop it – it may damage
blade. First cut into ½-inch pieces. PULSE until pea-sized, then process
on HIGH continuously. You can chop it as coarse or as fine as you want.
Simply run machine longer for finer chop. Process no more than 3 ounces
at one time.
Whipping cream Process refrigerated cream on LOW, 1 cup at a time. It is excellent as a
topping for desserts or hot drinks.
Fresh herbs Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry. Remove stems; use
leaves only. Dry herbs completely. The more herbs you chop at once, the
finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs keep for several days in the refrig-
erator in airtight bags, or can be
frozen for months. Chop up to ½ cup at one time.
Grating citrus zest For best results, work bowl and blade must be clean and dry. Remove zest
from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no more than 8 strips at a
time (zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 tea-
spoon sugar (from recipe) to the work bowl. Process on HIGH for 15 to 20
seconds.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,
California residents have the option of returning a
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was
purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells
Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store
shall then, according to its preferences, either repair
the product, refer the consumer to an independent
repair facility, replace the product or refund the
purchase price less the amount directly attributable
to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If
either of the above two options does not result in
the appropriate relief to the consumer, the
consumer may then take the product to an
independent repair facility if service or repair can be
economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible
for the reasonable cost of such service, repair,
replacement or refund for nonconforming products
under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart
for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling
our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-
726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost
of the repair, replacement and shipping and

Apple-Walnut Waffles
Served with warm maple syrup, these waffles are
a comforting fall treat.
Makes 10 Belgian-style waffles (6 cups of batter)
½ cup toasted walnuts
½ large apple, cored
1½ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
¼ cup wheat germ
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon baking
powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1¾ cups reduced-fat milk
1 large egg
1 large egg white
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Attach the Food Processor attachment onto
the motor base. Insert chopping blade into the
workbowl.
2. Put the walnuts in the work bowl of the food
processor. Pulse 2 to 3 times to chop. Remove
the chopping blade and replace with the
reversible shredding/slicing disc, with the
shredding side facing up. Shred the apple,
on HIGH, directly into the work bowl with the
nuts. Remove the Food Processor Attachment
and reserve. Attach blender jar.
3. Put the flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking
powder, salt and cinnamon into a large mixing
bowl, whisk to combine. Put the milk, egg, egg
white, oil and vanilla extract into the blender
jar. Cover and run on LOW for 20 seconds to
fully combine. Add half of the dry ingredients.
PULSE to combine; turn blender off, scrape
down sides of the jar. Add the remaining dry
ingredients and PULSE to just combine (it is
OK if there are still dry patches in the batter).
4. Transfer the batter to the large mixing
bowl that was previously holding the dry
ingredients. Add the reserved apple and
walnuts; fold to just combine.
5. Preheat a Cuisinart
®
Belgian Waffle Maker to
desired setting. Pour the suggested amount of
batter (refer to waffle maker instructions) onto
the prepared, preheated waffle maker plate.
Quickly and carefully spread the batter evenly
with a heatproof spatula. Close the cover and
cook until tone sounds. Serve immediately.

Crêpe Batter
Extremely versatile, this recipe should be added
to everyone’s collection. Crêpes can be filled with
sweet items (cinnamon-sugar and fruit; whipped
cream and chocolate) or savory (eggs and ham;
vegetables and hollandaise).
Makes about 12, 8-inch crêpes
3 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick), melted
and cooled to room temperature
¾ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 cup reduced-fat milk, room
temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room
temperature
1. Put the eggs, melted butter, flour, salt and
sugar into the blender jar. With the unit running
18 19
on LOW, carefully remove the measured pour
lid from the cover of the blender. Add the milk
and vanilla extract through the opening and
blend for about 15 to 20 seconds, or until
smooth. If time allows, let the batter rest in
the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Before
using batter, whisk to re-blend, straining if
necessary to remove any lumps.
2. Melt the teaspoon of butter in an 8-inch,
nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Once
pan is hot, add a scant ¼ cup of batter to
the pan, moving the batter around quickly to
make a thin coating on the pan bottom. Cook
the crêpe for 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges
just start to brown, and then carefully flip
and finish cooking on the other side for an
additional minute. Continue cooking crêpes
until there is no more batter.
3. Serve with your favorite sweet or savory
fillings.

Carrot-Ginger Soup
A small amount of fresh ginger goes a long way.
You’ll love how it brightens up the warm flavors in
this silky-smooth soup.
Makes about 5 cups
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
½ ounce fresh ginger, peeled and cut into
½-inch pieces
1 garlic clove
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut to fit
feed tube
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1
∕
8
teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1 thyme sprig
4 cups chicken broth, low sodium
1. Attach the Food Processor attachment onto
the motor base. Insert chopping blade into
the workbowl. Add the onion and PULSE to
roughly chop, about 8 to 10 pulses.
2. Put the butter or oil into a 6-quart saucepan
set over medium heat. Add chopped onion.
While onion is cooking, chop ginger and garlic
together by running on HIGH. Add ingredients
to the saucepan.
3. Continue cooking and replace the chopping
blade with the slicing disc. Slice the carrots on
HIGH and then stir directly into the saucepan,
adding the salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg
and thyme. Stir ingredients together well and
then add the chicken broth. Increase heat and
bring to a boil. Once soup comes to a boil,
reduce the heat so that it is barely simmering.
Cover and simmer until the carrots become
tender, about 50 to 60 minutes.
4. Once carrots are tender, separate the solids
from liquid. Attach the blender jar onto motor
base. Put about half of the broth and half of
the solids into the blender jar. Blend on LOW
for about 10 seconds and then switch to HIGH
to blend thoroughly. Pour soup into a clean
pot. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Taste
and adjust seasoning as desired.

Creamy Greens Soup
Don’t let the color fool you—this earthy,
nourishing soup is delicious! Garnish with a dollop

special, restaurant-like touch.

3 garlic cloves
1 small leek (about 2 ounces), white
part only
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch kale, hard stems discarded
and roughly chopped
1 bunch Italian parsley, leaves only

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
½ cup heavy cream
1. Attach the Food Processor attachment onto
the motor base. Insert chopping blade into the
workbowl. Add the shallots, garlic and leek
and process on HIGH until finely chopped.
2. Put the oil and butter into a 6-quart saucepan
set over medium heat. Once butter is melted,
add the chopped shallot-garlic-leek mixture.
Sweat ingredients together so that they gently
sauté, but do not pick up any color.
3. Add the kale, parsley, salt and pepper and stir
to coat. Add the vegetable broth and bring
to a boil. Cover and reduce heat so that the
soup is just simmering. Simmer for about
30 minutes. Add the cream and continue
simmering, uncovered, for an additional 20 to
30 minutes.
4. Attach blender jar onto motor base. Put
ingredients into the blender jar. Blend on LOW
for about 10 seconds and then switch to HIGH

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1
⁄
3
cup packed Italian parsley
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

Hollandaise
Fair warning: It is almost too easy to make this
creamy and decadent sauce.
Makes ¾ cup
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 large egg yolks
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground mustard
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1. Put the butter into a saucepan set over low
heat until butter is melted and reaches a slight
simmer.
2. While the butter is melting, put the remaining
ingredients into the blender jar. About a
minute before adding the butter, blend on
LOW for about 30 seconds to combine.
3. With the blender still running on LOW,
carefully remove the measured pour lid from
the cover. Very slowly, add the hot butter
through the opening (holding the pour lid
or even a dishtowel in place to prevent any
splattering). When adding the butter, be
careful not to add the white milk solids that
will be left on the bottom of the saucepan.
Once all butter has been added, check
hollandaise for consistency. With the blender
turned off, use a long, slim spatula to scrape
down the sides, as some yolk may have
accumulated in the well by the blade. If overall
consistency is too thick, add some hot water,
1 tablespoon at a time, and blend until desired
consistency is achieved.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
5. Serve immediately or transfer hollandaise to a
double boiler to keep warm for serving.

more with the rest of the ingredients).
2. Add the nuts, garlic, salt and pepper to the
work bowl with the cheese. PULSE about 5
times and then process on HIGH for about 5
seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

no shells or cartilage. Reserve in refrigerator.
2. Attach the Food Processor attachment onto
the motor base. Insert chopping blade into the
workbowl.
3. Add the red pepper to the bowl. PULSE 3
times to finely chop. Reserve in a separate
mixing bowl.
4. Add the jalapeño, scallions and garlic. PULSE
2 to 3 times to finely chop. Add to the same
bowl with the red pepper.
5. Put the olive oil in a large skillet and place
over medium heat. Add the peppers, scallions
and garlic to the pan. Sauté until softened,
about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and
allow to cool for a few minutes.
6. Once the vegetables are cool to the touch,
add them to the reserved crabmeat. To the
mixture, add the egg, panko, mayonnaise,
Worcestershire, mustard and seasoning, along
with a dash or two of the hot sauce, if desired.
Very gently mix all the ingredients together.
The best way to mix the crab mixture is with
clean hands, however, you can mix with a
spoon. It is important to mix carefully to keep
the crabmeat intact.
7. From the mixture, form ¼-cup oval cakes
with your hands and place them on a clean
plate, separating the layers of patties with wax
paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for 1 hour before sautéing.
8. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat
and add the vegetable oil. Lightly dredge the
crab cakes in panko crumbs. When oil is hot,
sauté crab cakes in batches, approximately 3
to 5 minutes per side. Crab cakes should be a
deep golden brown on each side.
9. Serve immediately with our Peach Salsa.
Lemon wedges make a nice accompaniment
as well.
