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
utilizing the provided storage hub. Their cutting
edges are very sharp.
• Never install the stem adapter with blade or discs
until the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on
the stem adapter as far as it will go.
• Always insert the stem adapter with 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 universal blade or slicing/
shredding disc.
• Be careful to prevent the universal blade or slicing/
shredding disc from falling out of the work bowl when
emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter with
blade 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, unplug the unit,
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
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 food cut side down into the feed tube.
• Apply even pressure on the pusher.
3. Problem: Food falls over in feed tube.
Solution:
• Food should not be tightly packed inside the
feed tube. For best results feed tube should be
loosely packed.
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.
5. Problem: Universal chopping/mixing/dough blade
cannot be removed from the stem adapter.
Solution:
• Place the blade/stem adapter assembly in a
bowl filled with warm tap water. This should help
loosen trapped food particles between the blade
and stem adapter. To see if food has loosened,
remove assembly from water by lifting from the
stem. Holding the stem, place the blade assembly
on countertop and press down on stem. This
should free the blade from the stem. If blade still
cannot be removed, return to warm water and
repeat above steps.
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.
