Puréeing
• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables:
Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a
smooth purée is best achieved when all pieces are
equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and then
process on High until food is puréed; scrape the
work bowl as necessary. NOTE: Do not use this
method to purée cooked white potatoes.
• T o purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the
solids from the liquid, and process the solids alone.
Add cooking liquid and process as needed.
Dough
• First, process the dry ingredients (flour, salt, etc).
Start processing on Low. With the machine
running, add the liquid ingredients through the
small feed tube as quickly as the dry ingredients
will absorb them. Should liquid be added too quickly,
wait until ingredients in work bowl have been
incorporated before adding more liquid. Add
remaining liquid slowly with machine still running. If
dough appears too sticky, add additional flour, about
1 tablespoon at a time, until a cohesive dough ball
forms. Conversely, do the same should the dough be
too dry, adding additional liquid 1 tablespoon at a
time until a cohesive dough ball forms.
Never use more than 2 cups of flour when
preparing a yeasted dough in this food processor.
Using the Reversible Slicing and Shredding Discs
• The slicing side of the discs makes whole slices. It
slices fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, and semi-
frozen raw meat. The shredding side of the discs
shreds most firm and hard cheeses. It also shreds
vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for
slicing and shredding. The food will dictate the
amount of pressure: Use light pressure for soft
foods, medium pressure for medium foods, and
firm pressure for harder foods. Always process
with even pressure.
• For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick
slice on the bottom of the food so that it sits
upright in the feed tube. If food does not fit in the
feed tube, cut in half or quarters to fit. Process
with even pressure.
• For small ingredients like mushrooms, radishes, or
strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits
upright in the feed tube.
• When slicing or shredding soft cheese, be sure
that the cheese is well chilled.
• For hard cheeses, like Parmesan, room
temperature cheese yields best results.
• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach:
Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed
tube. Process with even pressure.
NOTE: Do not use universal blade when
slicing or shredding.
NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing or
shredding. Never put your hands in the feed
tube while unit is running.
CLEANING, STORAGE,
AND MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart
®
9-Cup Food Processor ready
to use on the kitchen counter. When not in use,
leave it unplugged. Store accessories in the
provided storage hub inside the work bowl.
• Keep the blade and discs out of the reach of children.
• All parts except the housing base are
dishwasher safe but 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
pushers upside down for drainage. Remember
to unload the dishwasher carefully when
removing sharp blades and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl,
cover, pushers, stem adapter, blade, or disc
immediately after use so food won’t dry on
them. Be sure to position the pushers and work
bowl 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. If necessary, use a
brush.
• Work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with a
soapy, nonabrasive cloth or sponge. 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: Always use the provided storage hub.
Never store any blade or disc on the stem adapter.
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.
