Flat Work Bowl Cover
Operation
Use the Flat Cover for added convenience when
your recipe calls for chopping, mixing, puréeing
or kneading. It is particularly useful when you are
preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies,
pies and breads.
Do not use the Flat Cover with any of the slicing
or shredding discs. Use only with the metal blade
or dough blade.
To Assemble the Flat Cover
Begin with the work bowl and the metal blade
in place. Place the Flat Cover on the work
bowl so that the Cuisinart logo written on the
cover is face up and readable. Then turn cover
CLOCKWISE to lock into place.
Make sure the small cap is in place before using.
To Disassemble the Flat Cover
Place one hand near the Cuisinart logo and one
hand on opposite end of cover; turn cover
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Lift cover up and off
work bowl. Do not use the Flat Cover with any of
the slicing or shredding discs. Use only with the
metal blade or dough blade.
Work Bowls
The two nested work bowls offer versatile food
processing options and save you time by
minimizing cleanup. Use only the small work
bowl when processing smaller quantities.
Optimize efficiency when making recipes that
require multiple bowls, by starting with the smaller
work bowl. For example, prepare a crumb topping
before mixing batter for a cake in the large work
bowl. Or emulsify dressing before shredding
broccoli, carrots and cabbage for vegetable slaw.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of
your work bowl.
MACHINE CONTROLS
High and Low Control Buttons
The High and Low controls are buttons that allow
the machine to run until Off is selected.
1. Properly assemble the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either
through the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
Lock lid into place.
3. Press the High or Low button. The motor
will start.
4. Press the Off button when finished.
Pulse Button
The Pulse control is a button that allows the machine
to run only while it is being pressed. This capability
provides more accurate control of the duration and
frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified,
a pulse should be about two seconds.
With the machine properly assembled and
engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl,
press the Pulse button repeatedly as needed.

CHOPPING/MIXING BLADES

Blade Operation
The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the
blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting,
and handling tasks — but is not permanently
attached. Handle with care. Always check to be
sure the blade is securely locked before turning
the bowl upside down.
Large Blade Operation
With your large work bowl assembled on the
base, grasp the large chopping/mixing blade by its
hub, align it over the center of the bowl, place it
onto the shaft and push down until it locks into
place. 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.)
Small Blade Operation
With the large work bowl in place on the base,
place the stem adapter onto the hub in the center
of the bowl. Next, put the small work bowl into
the large bowl, positioning it over the adapter.
