Cut carrots in half and insert one piece point-side down and the other stem- side down.
A few pieces of food remain on top of slicing or shredding disc
You can improve this by raising and lowering (bouncing) pusher when food is almost all sliced or shredded.
Cheese spreads out and collects on top of shred- ding disc
Cheese was not cold enough, or pressure on pusher was too great. Always use light pressure when processing cheese.
CLEANING AND STORING
Keep your food processor ready for use on a kitchen counter. When it’s not being used, leave it unplugged. Don’t leave it with cover in locked posi- tion; this could damage the off-on mechanism.
Store blades and discs in safe, convenient place, as you would sharp knives — out of the reach of children.
All parts except motor base are dishwasher safe and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher ON THE TOP RACK. Due to intense water heat, wash- ing the work bowl, work bowl cover and accessories on the bottom rack may cause damage over time.
Insert work bowl upside down. Remember where you place sharp blades and discs, and unload them carefully.
To simplify cleaning, rinse work bowl, cover, pusher

and blade or disc immedi- ately after use so food won’t dry on them.
If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it careful- ly. Avoid leaving them in soapy water, where they may disappear from sight. To clean metal blade, fill work bowl with soapy water, hold blade by its center plastic part and move it up and down on center shaft. Use of a spray attachment is also effec- tive. If necessary, use a brush.
Work bowl is made of Lexan® polycarbonate plas- tic, which is shatter resist- ant and heat resistant.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud work bowl. Among them are rice, whole spices and oils like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your own spice blends, you may want to keep a second bowl just for that purpose.
Base housing is made of touch plastic with high impact resistance. Its smooth surface will look new for years. Keep a sponge handy as you work and wipe spills from base. Wipe in direction away from motor shaft. Do not use abrasive spray clean- ers on base or pusher.
Four rubber feet on under- side of base keep it from moving on most work sur- faces when machine is pro- cessing heavy loads. Clean feet from time to time; if rubber surface is not clean, machine may move on counter. If feet leave spots on counter, spray with spot remover and wipe with damp sponge. If any trace of spot remains, repeat
procedure and wipe area with damp sponge and non-abrasive cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. No blade or disc should be placed on shaft except when work bowl is in place and processor is about to be used.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical appliances, your food processor should be han- dled 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. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
Never put adapter stem on motor shaft until work bowl is securely locked in place.
Always make certain that adapter stem is down on motor shaft as far as it will go.
Always insert metal blade in work bowl before putting ingredients in work bowl.
When slicing or shred- ding food, always use pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into feed tube.
Always wait for blade or disc to stop spinning before you remove cover from work bowl.
Be careful not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl when you empty bowl.
Remove it before tilting bowl or hold it in place.
TECHNICAL DATA
The line voltage and fre- quency approximate for your machine are shown on label on underside of base.
An automatic temperature- controlled circuit breaker in motor ensures protection against motor burnout. If processor runs for excep- tionally long time when chopping, mixing or knead- ing thick or heavy mixtures in successive batches, motor may overheat. If this happens, processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for motor to cool off before proceeding. It will usually cool off within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour.
Safety switches prevent machine from operating when work bowl or cover is not locked into position. Motor stops within seconds when control switch is turned off or cover is unlocked. If motor should ever continue to run, do not attempt to remove cover. Remove plug from outlet and immediately notify the Cuisinart Consumer Service Center.
