IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when using
this appliance.
Getting Ready
1. Read all instructions.
2. Blades and discs are sharp. Handle them
carefully.
3. Always unplug from outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, before
removing food and before cleaning. To
unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical
outlet. Never pull cord.
4. Do not use outdoors.
5. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has
been dropped or damaged in any way. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
Operation
1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other
utensils away from moving blades or discs while
processing food, to prevent the possibility of
severe personal injury or damage to food
processor. A plastic scraper may be used, but
only when the food processor motor is stopped.
2. Avoid coming into contact with moving parts.
Never push food down by hand when slicing
or shredding. Always use pusher.
3. Make sure motor has completely stopped before
removing cover. (If machine does not stop within
4 seconds after you remove the bowl cover
assembly, call 1-800-472-7606 for assistance.
Do not use the machine.)
4. Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. To
reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should
be placed on the shaft except when the bowl is
properly locked in place and the processor is in
use. Store blades and discs, as you would sharp
knives, out of reach of children.
5. Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked
in place before operating food processor.
6. Never try to override or tamper with cover
interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not put base in water or other liquids.
General
1. This appliance should not be used by or near
children or individuals with certain disabilities.
2. Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven
appliance, while under the influence of alcohol
or other substances that affect your reaction
time or perception.
3. This food processor is cUL listed for household
use. Use it only for food preparation as described
in the accompanying recipe and instruction book.
Do not use this appliance for anything but its
intended use.
4. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical
shock or personal injury, or damage to your
food processor.
5. To avoid possible malfunction of work bowl
switch, never store processor with cover
assembly in locked position.
6. Maximum rating of 350 watts is based on
attachment that draws greatest current.
Other recommended attachments may draw
significantly less current.
7. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing
in an appliance garage always unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the
appliance touches the walls of the garage or the
door touches the unit as it closes.
NOTICE: If your food processor has a plastic
case, it has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
