mechanism and 

interlock.

Flat Work Bowl Cover 

Operation

Use the Flat Cover for added convenience when 

your recipe calls for chopping, mixing, puréeing 

or kneading. It is particularly useful when you are 

preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, 

pies and breads.
Do not use the Flat Cover with any of the slicing 

or shredding discs. Use only with the metal blade 

or dough blade.

To Assemble the Flat Cover

Begin with the work bowl and the metal blade  

in place. Place the Flat Cover on the work  

bowl so that the 

Cuisinart logo written on the 

cover

 is face up and readable. Then turn cover  

CLOCKWISE

 to lock into place.

Make sure the small cap is in place before using.

To Disassemble the Flat Cover

Place one hand near the Cuisinart logo and one 

hand on opposite end of cover; turn cover 

COUNTERCLOCKWISE

. Lift cover up and off 

work bowl. Do not use the Flat Cover with any of 

the slicing or shredding discs. Use only with the 

metal blade or dough blade.

Work Bowls

The two nested work bowls offer versatile food 

processing options and save you time by  

minimizing cleanup. Use only the small work  

bowl when processing smaller quantities. 

Optimize efficiency when making recipes that 

require multiple bowls, by starting with the smaller 

work bowl. For example, prepare a crumb topping 

before mixing batter for a cake in the large work 

bowl. Or emulsify dressing before shredding  

broccoli, carrots and cabbage for vegetable slaw.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the 

work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of 

your work bowl.

MACHINE CONTROLS

High and Low Control Buttons

The High and Low controls are buttons that allow 

the machine to run until Off is selected.
1. Properly assemble the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either 

through the feed tube or directly into the bowl. 

Lock lid into place.

3. Press the High or Low button. The motor  

will start.

4. Press the Off button when finished.

Pulse Button

The Pulse control is a button that allows the machine 

to run only while it is being pressed. This capability 

provides more accurate control of the duration and 

frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified, 

a pulse should be about two seconds.
With the machine properly assembled and 

engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl,  

press the Pulse button repeatedly as needed.

CHOPPING/MIXING BLADES 

Blade Operation

 The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the 

blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting, 

and handling tasks — but is not permanently 

attached. 

Handle with care. Always check to be 

sure the blade is securely locked before turning 

the bowl upside down.
Large Blade Operation

 With your large work bowl assembled on the  

base, grasp the large chopping/mixing blade by its 

hub, align it over the center of the bowl, place it 

onto the shaft and push down until it locks into 

place. Always check to be sure the blade is 

securely locked before turning the bowl upside 

down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base 

and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your 

hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently  

and carefully.)

Small Blade Operation

 With the large work bowl in place on the base, 

place the stem adapter onto the hub in the center 

of the bowl. Next, put the small work bowl into  

the large bowl, positioning it over the adapter.
