ASSEMBLING THE
MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISC
1. Select the blade assembly you would like
to use.
2. Hold the blade holder disc in one hand.
3. Using your other hand, slide the blade
assembly into the blade holder disc until
you hear a click. The blade assembly is
now in place.
Note: You may use the finger notch on the blade
assembly to aid in holding/sliding the blade
assembly into the blade holder disc (finger notch
is not included on the grating blade assembly).
ASSEMBLING THE
MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISC IN THE
WORK BOWL
1. With the work
bowl on base, insert
stem adapter.
2. Carefully place
assembled
Multifunctional
Disc onto the stem
adapter with the
Cuisinart logo on the
blade holder disc
facing up.
Note: Always
use caution when
handling the assembled Multifunctional
Disc as the blade is very sharp.
3. Place the work bowl cover over the work
bowl with the feed-tube assembly shifted
slightly to the right of the handle. Once the
cover is fully seated, rotate the cover
clockwise to engage the cover-locking
mechanism and interlock. To remove the
cover, rotate it counterclockwise to disen-
gage the interlock and locking mechanism.
USING THE
MULTIFUNCTIONAL DISC
The Multifunctional Disc produces custom cuts
when used with your Cuisinart Core Custom
®
Food Processor. To achieve the perfect cut —
and prevent damage to the blades and food
processor — it’s important to always apply the
correct amount of pressure when guiding food
through the feed tube. When using the pusher
never press down hard on the blade. For most
foods, medium-firm pressure is ideal. The softer
the food, the less pressure needed. As you
continue to use the discs, you will get a better
feel for the different amount of pressure required
to yield the best results while protecting the unit.
Note: The high speed setting is recommended
for all foods and blade assemblies.
• After prepping food for cutting, add it to the
feed tube, making sure it fits the width without
being too tightly packed. Excessive force
shouldn’t be needed to push food through,
nor should food be so loose that it moves
around freely inside the feed tube.
• The julienne, french fry, and crinkle cut
blades produce a variety of cuts for fruits
and vegetables. Never press down hard on
the blade.
• When using the julienne, french fry, and
crinkle-cut blade assemblies, apply medium
to firm pressure to achieve the best results.
Do not stack food more than two layers deep
when using the julienne, french fry, and
crinkle-cut blades.
• The grating blade should be used for cheese.
• When using the grating blade assembly,
apply light to medium pressure to achieve
the best results. Never press down hard on
the blade.
• When processing cheese with the grating
blade assembly, always clean the underside of
the assembled disc between uses. Clear food
debris from the top and bottom of the disc/
blade assemblies between uses. If debris does
not loosen easily, remove the entire disc and
clean it carefully before reattaching and
resuming use.
5
Types of Cuts Cutting Tips Suggested Foods How to Serve
Julienne (3mm)
Foods should lie in the feed tube
horizontal to the disc. Always trim
foods to fit snugly in the large
feed tube. To achieve even cuts,
do not stack food more than two
layers deep and use medium to
firm pressure when processing.
Carrots, parsnips, zucchini, eggplant,
radishes, jicama, winter squash
(peeled), potatoes, sweet potatoes,
yams, apples, pears.
This blade cuts food into the
traditional matchstick cut. Use
julienned vegetables in stir-fries,
raw salads, roasted for tossing into
pastas, or air-fried for crispy
toppings to any dish.
French Fry (5mm)
Foods should lie in the feed tube
horizontal to the disc. Always trim
foods to fit snugly in the large feed
tube. To achieve even cuts, do not
stack food more than two layers
deep and use medium to firm
pressure when processing.
Russet potatoes, sweet potatoes,
yams, winter squash (peeled),
jicama, yuca, zucchini, eggplant,
parsnips, apples, pears.
This blade cuts food into thin
french-fry cuts. The obvious
choice would be russet and sweet
potatoes for french fries, but do
not stop there. Use eggplant and
zucchini for veggie “fries” in the
AirFryer, or even apples or pears
for a crunchy after-school
snack.
Crinkle Cut (3mm)
For crinkle-cut rounds, foods
should stand in the feed tube
vertical to the disc. For best
results use the small or medium
feed tube to keep foods upright.
Use medium to firm pressure
when processing.
Cucumbers, radishes, carrots,
medium to large pickles, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, yams.
Perfect cut for adding some flair
to a veggie platter. Potatoes can
be used in a gratin-style dish
or fried/air-fried for a quick and
tasty snack.
Grating Disc
For the best results, apply light
pressure. When grating garlic or
ginger, drop items into the feed
tube while the unit is running on
high speed. Use the pusher to
gently press food against the
grating blade.
Chocolate, ginger, garlic, hard
cheeses (Parmesan, Asiago,
Romano), cotija, crackers and
crostini for flavored breadcrumbs,
day-old or lightly toasted bread for
plain breadcrumbs.
Use chocolate as a garnish for
espresso drinks and hot chocolate,
or on top of a decadent dessert.
Ginger and garlic when grated are
perfect for working into bases of
many dishes and sauces. Cheese
always tastes better when freshly
grated, whether mixed into fillings
for baked pastas or used as a
topping on tacos, burritos, or
other dishes.

CLEANING, STORAGE,
AND MAINTENANCE
• Using the finger notch on the blade assembly,
remove blade assembly from the blade holder
disc before cleaning (finger notch not included
on grating blade assembly).
• 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. Be sure to unload sharp
blades and discs carefully from the dishwasher.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the blade holder
disc, and blade assemblies immediately after
use so food won’t dry on them.
• If you wash the Multifunctional Disc parts by
hand, do so carefully. If necessary, use a brush.
Do not leave them in soapy water where they
may disappear from sight.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Keep the disc and blade assemblies out of reach
of children. Handle and store blades carefully.
Their cutting edges are very sharp. Storing in the
storage case is best.
• Handle and store the blade assemblies
carefully, using the provided storage case.
Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put stem adapter into the work bowl until
the work bowl is locked into place.
• Always be sure that the disc is pushed down
on the stem adapter as far as it will go.
• When using the Multifunctional Disc, always
use the pusher. Never put your fingers or
spatula into the feed tube.
• Always wait for the 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
Multifunctional Disc.
• Be careful to prevent the disc from falling out of
the work bowl when emptying the bowl.
Remove the stem adapter with disc before
tilting the work bowl.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Problem: Food is stuck in the blade.
Solution:
• Unplug unit and
carefully remove the
Multifunctional Disc
from the unit. Holding
the blade holder disc
with the Cuisinart
logo facing up, use a
firm utensil, such as a
fork or spatula, to
push the food clockwise, away from
the blade. This should dislodge the
stuck food.
2. Problem: Pieces of food are not evenly cut.
Solutions:
• Pack food items to fill the width of the
feed tube.
• Use no more than two layers of food at a
time when cutting food that is horizontal to
the blade. Packing the feed tube too much
will produce uneven cuts.
• In most cases, use medium-firm pressure
when processing fruits and vegetables. Be
sure to use even pressure as needed to
continuously feed food.
