CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart
Processor ready to use on the kitchen counter.
When not in use, leave it unplugged.
• Keep the blade and discs out of the 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
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 wherever you have
placed sharp blades and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, 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 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. To clean the metal
blade, 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 bowl is made of SAN plastic. It should
not be placed in a microwave oven.

DIRECTIONS
Pulse to chop to desired consistency. To make a nut butter, pulse to
break up, and then process until smooth, stopping to scrape down 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.
• 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 metal blade and discs
carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put blade 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 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.
