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 

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 pusher 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 liquid.

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 7 amperes is based on 

attachment that draws greatest current. 

Other recommended attachments may 

draw significantly less current. 

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.
