THE PARTS

The Cuisinart® DLC-X Plus food processor, a compact and versatile appliance, has a large feed tube that is easy to use. The machine chops, minces, shreds, grates, slices, blends, purées, emulsifies, mixes and kneads – all with great efficiency and speed.

Completely assembled, it is only 17 inches high (43 cm) and stores conveniently under most kitchen cabinets. With the cover inverted, it is 121⁄2 inches high (32 cm). It includes:

1.A motor base with a vertically projecting shaft and two control levers.

2.A work bowl with an 8-inch diameter (20 cm).

3.A cover with a large feed tube 5 inches long x 31⁄4 inches wide (13x 8cm).

4.An easy to use pusher assembly that slides over the feed tube.

5.A sharp metal blade.

6.A plastic dough blade.

7.Three serrated slicing discs, to produce slices 2 mm,

4 mm or 6 mm thick.

8.A shredding disc.

9.A detachable stem that fits all discs.

10.A plastic spatula.

11.A plastic cleaning tool.

THE PROCESSING TOOLS

The metal blade is the master tool, the one you’ll use most often. It chops raw and cooked fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and cheese to the exact consistency you want — from coarse to fine, even to a purée. You control the texture. It chops nuts, makes nut butters, makes mayonnaise and Hollandaise sauce, and mixes tender, flaky pastry.

The dough blade mixes and kneads yeast doughs more efficiently than the metal blade. Use it for all yeast dough unless the recipe calls for less than 31⁄2 cups of flour (171⁄2 ounces, 500g).
