IMPORTANT
UNPACKING
INSTRUCTIONS

This package contains a Cuisinart

®

Food

Processor and the standard parts for it:

Stainless steel chopping blade, slicing disc,
shredding disc, spatula and instruction/recipe
book.

CAUTION:

THE CUTTING TOOLS HAVE VERY SHARP
EDGES.

To avoid injury when unpacking the

parts, please follow these instructions.

1. Place the box on a low table or on the

kitchen counter where you plan to keep 
the food processor. Be sure that the box
is right side up.

2. Remove the cardboard panel and the

instruction material.

NOTE: Remember to return your warranty

card with all information carefully
filled out completely.

3. You will see a rectangular block of plastic

foam that holds the processor parts, 
each fitted into a cavity in the foam.

• The plastic spatula (A) is in one long side 

of the foam block. Remove it first.

• The slicing disc (B) is on one side and 

the shredding disc (C) on the other. 

• Slide them out of their grooves 

WITH GREAT CARE; THE BLADES 
ARE SHARP.

• The work bowl cover (D) and the pusher

assembly (E) are in the center of the
foam block. Grasp an edge of the work
bowl and lift it straight up.

4. Lift out the plastic foam block.

5. The machine base and work bowl with metal

blade are at the bottom of the box. 
CAREFULLY REMOVE THE METAL BLADE
BY GRASPING THE CENTER HUB AND
LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP. NEVER TOUCH
THE BLADES, WHICH ARE RAZOR SHARP.

6. Remove the base and bowl together by

grasping the plastic bowl at the top with
both hands and lifting the bowl straight up.  

Do not rotate the bowl clockwise on the
base. This will cause the bowl to separate
from the base. 

7. Place the food processor on a counter or

table and read the instructions thoroughly
before using the machine.

8. Save the carton that your food processor

was packed in, and the carton inserts too.
You will find them very useful if you need to
repack the processor for moving or other
shipment.

NOTE: Remember to return your completed

warranty card with all information
carefully filled out. 

WHEN REMOVING 
THE BLADE:

CAREFULLY REMOVE THE METAL BLADE
BY GRASPING THE CENTER WHITE HUB
AND LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP.  NEVER
TOUCH THE BLADES, AS THEY ARE 
RAZOR SHARP
