ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use
Before using your Cuisinart Elite Collection®
1.Place the food processor base on a dry, level countertop with the controls facing you. Do not plug the unit in until it
is fully assembled.
2.With the bowl on the base, use the handle to turn the work bowl counterclockwise to lock it onto the housing base.
Blade Operation
The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting, and handling tasks – but is not permanently engaged. Handle with care. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down.
Note: The chopping/mixing/kneading blade should not be removed when liquid contents are above the hub of the blade in the bowls, as this will defeat the SealTight™ system.
Blade Operation
3.With the work bowl assembled on the base, grasp the chopping/mixing/kneading blade by its hub, align it over the center of the bowl, place it on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. Firmly push down to lock. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)
Disc Operation
4.Position the stem adapter over the center of the bowl, and slide it down the motor shaft. Select which disc side to use for slicing or shredding, and place over the stem adapter.
Cover Operation
5.Put the work bowl cover on the work bowl by latching the back on first and then
pushing down on the front to lock into place. Be sure both front and back locks are fully engaged.
Another way to put the cover on is by positioning it directly over the bowl, and pushing down on the front and back.
To remove the cover, push in both sides of the release button (located on the cover interlock) and lift up to remove.
Note: The work bowl cover fits, locks and seals on the bowl. The work bowl cover will
become easier to engage with repeated use. The seal is removable for cleaning, but must be replaced for each operation.
6.Align pusher over the feed tube opening on the work bowl cover and slide it down completely.
7.Plug the food processor into a proper electrical outlet. It is now ready for use.
Note: The bowl and lid must be securely in place for the unit to operate.
