IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS

Always follow these safety precautions when using this appliance.

Getting Ready

1.Read all instructions.

2.Blades and discs are sharp. Handle them carefully.

3.Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before removing food and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.

4.Do not use outdoors.

5.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

6.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

Operation

1.Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food, to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to food processor. A plastic scraper may be used, but only when the food processor motor is stopped.

2.Avoid contact with moving parts. Never push food down by hand when slicing or shredding. Always use pusher.

3.Make sure motor has completely stopped before removing cover. (If machine does not stop within 4 seconds after you remove the pusher assembly, call 1-800-762-0190 for assistance. Do not use the machine.)

4.Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. To reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should be placed on the shaft except when the bowl is properly locked in place and the processor is in use. Store blades and discs, as you would sharp knives, out of reach of children.

5.Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked in place before operating food processor.

6.Never try to override or tamper with cover interlock mechanism.

Cleaning

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put base in water or other liquids.

General

1.This appliance should not be used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.

2.Do not operate this, or any other motor- driven appliance, while under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your reaction time or perception.

3.This food processor is UL listed for household use. Use it only for food preparation as described in the accompanying recipe and instruction book. Do not use this appliance outside of its intended use.

4.The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock or personal injury, or damage to your food processor.

5.To avoid possible malfunction of work bowl switch, never store processor with pusher assembly in locked position.

6.Maximum rating of 7 amperes is based on attachment that draws greatest current. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current.

7.Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

NOTICE: If your food processor has a plastic case, it has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
