INTRODUCTION

You may have bought your new Cuisinart® Food Processor because you love the way it looks in your kitchen, but superior performance is what’s made this versatile food prep tool a legend. You’ll use it every day, for jobs as small as mincing a clove of garlic, to major tasks like kneading 3 pounds of bread dough. The bigger feed tube is easier to handle, and means less precutting. And, as always, everything except the base is dishwasher safe. It’s the beginning of a long, delicious – and easy – relationship. Enjoy!

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The machine includes:

1.Motor base with a vertically projecting shaft and two large control levers.

2.14-Cup Work bowl.

3.Cover with a large feed tube.

4.Pusher assembly that slides over the feed tube. The pusher assembly has 2 parts:

a.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 hard food like garlic.

b.A large pusher.

5.Plastic spatula.

6.Sharp metal chopping/mixing blade.

The metal 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. You control the texture. It chops nuts, makes nut butters, mayonnaise and sauces, and mixes tender, flaky pastry. The metal blade also handily mixes cakes, frostings, cookies, quick breads, muffins, and biscuits.

7.Plastic dough blade.

The dough blade mixes and kneads more efficiently than the metal blade when your recipe calls for more than 3-1/2 cups of flour.

8.Serrated slicing disc.

The slicing disc makes beautiful whole slices with no torn edges. It slices whole fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, semi-frozen raw meat and loaves of bread.

9.Shredding disc.

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

10.Detachable stem that fits both discs.

The detachable stem fits both discs, making storage easy in limited space.
