INSTRUCTIONS

This package contains a Cuisinart Elite 
Collection

 14-Cup (3.5 L) Food Processor and 

the accessories for it:

14-, 11- and 4.5-cup (3.5 L, 2.75 L, 1.12 L) work 
bowls, work bowl cover, metal chopping/mixing 
blade, dough blade, adjustable slicing disc, 
reversible shedding disc, stem adapter, large 
and small pushers, spatula, storage case, 
instruction/recipe book and How-to DVD.

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 floor 

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

  2. Open top flaps—there will be a rectangular 

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

  3. Remove the instruction/recipe book, the 

spatula (A) is on one side of the foam 
block.

  4. Remove the bowl cover (B) from the other 

side of the foam block. Lift out the large 
and small pushers with cover (C) from their 
space under the bowl cover in the foam 
block.

  5. Lift out the DVD from its space in the foam 

block.

  6. Lift out the foam block and the cardboard 

frame.

  7. The housing base with 14-, 11- and 4.5-

cup work bowls are on one side of the 
bottom of the box.

  8. Remove the base and bowls together by 

grasping the handle and lifting straight up. 
Do not rotate the bowl clockwise on the 
base. This will cause the bowl to separate 
from the base.

  9. Place the food processor on the counter or 

table. Read the instructions thoroughly 
before using the machine.

  10. The storage case is on the other side of 

the bottom of the box.

  11. Lift out the storage case, unlock the cover 

and remove the foam block; small metal 

chopping/mixing blade (D), dough blade 
(E), large metal chopping/mixing blade (F), 
and stem adapter (G), are each in a cavity. 

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

 12. Pull out the drawer to the storage case 

with the adjustable slicing disc (H), and 

CAREFULLY REMOVE IT BY USING THE 
FINGER HOLES. DO NOT TOUCH THE 
BLADE, IT IS VERY SHARP. 

The 

reversible shredding disc (I) is also in the 
drawer. Carefully remove the slicing disc 
by using the finger holes and carefully 
remove the shredding disc by using the 
plastic hub. Remember to lock the parts in 
the storage case when not in use.

  13. Save the shipping cartons and plastic foam 

blocks. You will find them very useful if you 
need to repack the processor for moving or 
other shipment.

Please watch the enclosed How-to DVD 
before using the food processor.
