ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before you start.
Check that your household voltage
matches that shown on label on bottom
of food processor base.
Blade Operation
1. Put base on counter or table near electrical
outlet. Do not plug in until food processor is
totally assembled. Pick up empty work bowl,
holding it in both hands, with handle toward
you. Put bowl on base, fitting center tube
over shaft on base and placing handle
slightly to left of front center (7 o’clock).
2. Turn bowl counterclockwise as far as it will
go. It will click into locked position.
3. Pick up metal blade by center plastic part.
Never touch metal cutting blades, which are
razor sharp. Note D-shaped outline on top;
it matches shape of motor shaft.
4. Place blade over motor shaft, lining up
D-shaped outline with shape of shaft.
Blade should drop onto shaft. If it doesn’t,
twist it gently clockwise until it does. Push
top of center plastic part to push blade
down as far as it will go. Lower blade
should almost touch bottom of bowl.
5. Put cover on bowl, with feed tube at front,
slightly to left of front center.
6. Turn cover counterclockwise to lock it into
place. It will click into position. Motor will
not start unless work bowl is securely locked
in position and cover is securely locked on
work bowl.
7. Insert pusher in feed tube. Always use
pusher to guide food through feed tube.
Never use your fingers or spatula.
8. Plug your Cuisinart
®
Food Processor into
a household electrical outlet.
Disc Operation
1. Assemble bowl on base in usual way (see
steps 1 and 2 above.)
2. Always handle slicing or shredding disc by
rims. Never touch sharp cutting blades. Note
D-shaped cutout on top of disc. It matches
shape of motor shaft.
Place disc over motor shaft, lining up
D-shaped cutout over shaft. Disc will
drop onto shaft.
3. Be sure disc is pushed down as far as it will
go. Push only on rim; never touch sharp
cutting blade.
4. Put cover on work bowl and turn it
counterclockwise to lock it into place.
5. Put food into feed tube. (If you are slicing,
first cut one end of food flat.)
6. Insert pusher. Use moderate pressure to
push down on pusher with one hand while
holding control switch down with other hand
until food is sliced or shredded. This will take
only a few seconds.
Never put fingers or spatula in feed tube.
Always use pusher.
Wait until disc stops spinning before removing
cover. When it stops, remove cover before
removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover
and work bowl together; this could damage
work bowl.
Remove disc before removing work bowl. Place
two fingers under each side of disc and lift it
straight up.
Then turn bowl clockwise to remove it from
base and lift it straight up.
OPERATING CONTROLS
Control switch on base of machine has 3 posi-
tions, giving you fingertip control of operation.
For continuous operation, move control switch
up to ON position. Motor will start.
To turn motor off, move control switch down to
OFF position in center.
For on-off operation, called pulse-chopping or
pulsing, press control switch down to PULSE
position, then release it.
Motor runs as long as you hold control switch
down. Motor stops when you release control
switch. Try it a few times.
Notice that you control duration and frequency
of pulses by length of time you hold control
switch down and rate at which you press it.
Allow enough time between pulses to let
everything in work bowl fall to bottom.
Always use control switch for pulse/chopping.
Never turn cover back and forth to start and
stop processor.
