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 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 1-800-762-
0190 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 UL listed for
household use. Use it only for food
preparation as described in the
accompanying recipe and instruction book.
Do not use this appliance outside of 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 pusher
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.
