THE MACHINE

INCLUDES:

1.Housing base with a vertically projecting shaft and convenient touchpad control panel.

2.14-cup work bowl.

3.Cover with extra large feed tube.

4.Pusher assembly that slides inside the feed tube.

5.Unique metal dough blade, designed specifically for our dough speed control.

6.Sharp metal chop- ping/mixing blade.

8.Serrated slicing disc.

10.Shredding disc.

11.Detachable stem

for discs (not shown).

12.Plastic spatula (not shown).

The metal chopping blade chops raw and cooked fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and cheese to the exact consistency you want, from coarse to fine, even to a purée. It chops nuts, makes nut butters, mayonnaise and sauces, and mixes tender, flaky pastry. The metal chopping blade also mixes cakes, frostings, cookies,

quick breads, muffins, and biscuits.

The Power Prep® Metal Dough Blade is specifically designed to work in conjunction with our DOUGH control while mak- ing yeast doughs. One touch of the DOUGH but- ton makes “perfect dough in seconds”.

A locking device prevents heavy dough from driving

the blade up on the shaft.

The slicing disc makes beautiful whole slices without torn edges.

It slices whole fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, semi-frozen raw meat and loaves of bread.

The shredding disc processes most firm and hard cheeses into long, attractive shreds. It also shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots and zucchini, and processes nuts and chocolate to a grated texture.

The detachable stem fits both discs, creating compact disc storage in limited space.

The pusher assembly has two parts.

1.A small, removable, clear pusher that fits into a small center-located feed tube. This tube is for narrow food like carrots, for adding liquid, and for continuous feeding of small food like garlic.

2.A large pusher that fits into the Cuisinart® Supreme® Wide Mouth Feed Tube opening and moves freely within it.

Upon contact, the large pusher meets an activating rod in the center of the work bowl handle, permit- ting the motor to start.
