• 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 chopping/mixing/dough
blade.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from
falling out of the work bowl when emptying the
bowl. Remove it 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 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Food Processing
1. Problem: The food is unevenly processed.
Solution:
•
The ingredients should be cut evenly into
½-
to 1-inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm) pieces before
processing.
•
Process in batches to avoid overloading.
2. Problem: Slices are uneven or slanted.
Solution:
•
Place evenly cut food, cut side down, into the
feed tube.
•
Apply even pressure on the pusher.
3. Problem: Food falls over in feed tube.
Solution:
•
Feed tube should be packed full for best results.
4. Problem: Some food remains on top of the disc.
Solution:
•
It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut
remaining bits by hand and add to processed
ingredients.
Dough Kneading
1. Problem: Motor slows down.
Solution:
•
Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in two batches.
•
Dough may be too wet (see number 8).
If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not,
add more flour, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time,
until the motor speeds up. Process until dough
cleans the sides of the work bowl.
2. Problem: Blade doesn't incorporate ingredients.
Solution:
•
Always start the food processor before
adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady
stream, or through the drizzle hole in the
pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb
it. If too much liquid is added, wait until
ingredients in the work bowl have mixed, then
add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the
machine). Pour liquid onto dough as it passes
under feed tube opening; do not pour liquid
directly onto bottom of the work bowl.
