INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the
Cuisinart PowerPrep Plus
®
Processor. This product is the ultimate
food preparation tool, and it comes from
the originator of the American food
processor, Cuisinart.
The Cuisinart PowerPrep Plus
®
Food Processor has all the elements
of quality that Cuisinart is known for,
including a powerful motor, the Supreme
wide mouth feed tube, and the longest
warranty in the industry.
• The Cuisinart Supreme
®
feed tube is perfect for slicing whole
fruits and vegetables without precutting.
• The dough control button gives you
the ability to make perfect dough in
seconds. A preset dough processing
speed works together with the
PowerPrep ® metal dough blade
for exceptional results – every time!
These features, plus the ability to use
all your existing Cuisinart
blades and discs make the PowerPrep
Plus 14-Cup Food Processor the
®
select choice in food processors.

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 PowerPrep
®
is specifically designed to work in
conjunction with our dough control speed
when making yeast doughs. One touch of
the dough button 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
®
tube opening and moves freely within it.
Upon contact, the large pusher meets an
activating rod in the center of the work
bowl handle, permitting the motor to start.
