Safety switches prevent the machine from
operating when the work bowl or the cover is not
locked into position. The motor stops within
seconds when the motor is turned off, and when
the pusher assembly is removed, a fast-stop circuit
also enables the motor to stop within seconds.
Cuisinart offers a Limited Three-Year Warranty
on the entire machine.

Dough may be too wet (see number 9).
If motor speeds up, continue processing. If
not, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time
until the motor speeds up. Process until
dough cleans the sides of the work bowl.
2.
Problem:
Blade doesn’t incorporate
ingredients.
Solution:
r"MXBZTTUBSUUIFGPPEQSPDFTTPSCFGPSF
adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady
stream, allowing the dry ingredients to
absorb it. If too much liquid is added, wait
until ingredients in the work bowl have
mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly (do
not turn off the machine). Pour liquid onto
dough as it passes under feed tube
opening; do not pour liquid directly onto
bottom of the work bowl.
3.
Problem:
Blade rises in work bowl.
Solution:
