Cleaning, Storage, And Maintenance; For Your Safety; Technical Data - Cuisinart FP-7 Series Instruction And Recipe Booklet

CLEANING, STORAGE,
AND MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart
to use on the kitchen counter. When not in use,
leave it unplugged. Store accessories in the
provided storage hub, inside the work bowl.
• Keep the blade and discs out of the reach
of children.
• All parts except the housing base are dishwasher
safe but on the top rack only. Due to intense
water heat, washing the work bowl, 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 bowl
and pusher upside down for drainage. Remember
to unload the dishwasher carefully when removing
sharp blade and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover,
pusher, stem adapter, blade, or discs immediately
after use so food won't dry on them. Be sure to
position the pushers and work bowl 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 blade 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. If necessary, use a brush.
• Work bowl should not be placed in a
microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with a
soapy, nonabrasive cloth or sponge. Be sure to dry
it thoroughly.
• If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray stains
with a spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge.
• If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the proce-
dure and wipe the area with a damp sponge and
nonabrasive cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT: Always use the provided storage
hub. Never store any blade or disc on the stem
adapter. 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 metal blade and discs carefully
using the provided storage hub. Their cutting edges
are very sharp.
® 7-Cup Food Processor ready
• Never attach the stem adapter with discs or blade
on it until the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on
the stem adapter as far as it will go.
• Always insert the stem adapter with metal 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.
• Always wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning
before you remove the pusher assembly or cover
from the work bowl.
• Always unplug the unit before removing food,
cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.
• Always remove work bowl from base of machine
before you remove the universal chopping/mixing/
dough blade or slicing/shredding disc.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping blade or slicing/
shredding disc from falling out of the work bowl
when emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter
with blade before tilting the work bowl.

TECHNICAL DATA

The motor in your food processor operates on a
standard line operating current. The appropriate voltage
and frequency for your machine are shown on a label
on the bottom of the base.
An automatic temperature-controlled circuit breaker in
the motor ensures complete protection against motor
burnout. If the processor runs for an exceptionally long
time when chopping, mixing, or kneading a thick or
heavy mixture in successive batches, the motor may
overheat. If this happens, the processor will stop. Turn
it off, unplug the unit, and wait for the motor to cool
before proceeding. It will usually cool within 10
minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour.
Safety switches prevent the machine from operating
when the work bowl or the cover is not locked into
position. The motor stops within seconds when the
motor is turned off; and when the pusher assembly is
removed, a fast-stop circuit also enables the motor to
stop within seconds.
Cuisinart offers a limited three-year warranty on the
entire machine.
