CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart
ready to use on the kitchen counter. When not
in use, leave it unplugged.
• Keep the blades and discs out of reach
of children.
• All parts except the housing base are
dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing
them in the dishwasher on the top rack only.
Due to intense water heat, washing the work
bowls, cover and accessories on the bottom
rack may cause damage over time. Insert the
cover with the feed tube facing up to ensure
proper cleaning. Insert the work bowls and
pusher upside down for drainage. Remember to
unload the dishwasher carefully wherever you
have placed sharp blades and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowls,
cover, pusher and blade or disc immediately
after use so food won't dry on them. Be sure
to position the pusher upside down for
drainage. If food lodges in the pusher, remove
it by running water through it, or use a bottle
brush.
• If you wash the blades and discs by hand, do
it carefully. When handling, use the plastic
hubs. Avoid leaving them in soapy water
where they may disappear from sight. To clean
the blades, fill the work bowl with soapy water,
hold the blade by its plastic center and move
it rapidly up and down on the center shaft of
the bowl. Use of a spray attachment is also
effective. If necessary, use a brush.
• The work bowls are made of SAN plastic with
metal components. They should not be placed

DIRECTIONS
For milk shakes, first add ice cream. While unit is running,
add milk through the feed tube until desired consistency is
achieved. For smoothies, add fruit first, then add the liquid
through the feed tube while unit is running.
Pulse to chop to desired consistency. To make a nut butter, pulse
to break up, and then process until smooth, stopping to scrape
down sides as needed.
Process granulated sugar for about 1 minute until finely ground.
Excellent for using in meringues and other baked goods.
Process well-chilled cream until cream begins to thicken.
Add sugar as desired; process continuously until cream reaches
desired consistency. This cream is dense and perfect as a
whipped topping for cake or ice cream.
in a microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with
a soapy, nonabrasive material. Be sure to dry
it thoroughly.
• If the feet leave spots on the counter,
spray them with a spot remover and wipe
with a damp sponge.
• If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the
procedure and wipe the area with a damp sponge
and nonabrasive cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on
the motor shaft. No blade or disc should be
placed on the shaft except when the processor
is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Like all powerful electrical appliances,
a food processor should be handled with care.
Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and
your family from misuse that could cause
injury.
• Handle and store blades and discs carefully.
Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft
until the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down
on the motor shaft as far as it will go.
• Always insert the blade in the work bowl
before putting ingredients in bowl.
• When slicing or shredding food, always use
the pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula
into feed tube.
