Before First Use
Take care when unpacking the chopping/mixing blades and the reversible slicing/
grating discs. The blades are very sharp and could cause injury.
To avoid injury, ensure the raised finger grips on the plastic casing are used to remove the
blades from their plastic packaging and carefully remove cardboard and tape from the
reversible slicing/grating discs. Retain the plastic casings for safe storage.
Before using your Cuisinart Easy Prep Pro for the first time, wash the large and small
work bowls, work bowl cover, pusher accessory, chopping/mixing blades, and both slicing/
grating discs.
1. Selecting the Work Bowl
n
The Food Processor is supplied with two work bowls.
n
The large work bowl has a maximum capacity of 1.9L and can be used with the large
chopping/mixing blade and the two reversible slicing and grating/shredding discs.
n
The small work bowl has a maximum capacity of 0.7L and can be used with the small
chopping/mixing blade only. The seal on the inner bowl prevents any leakage into the
large work bowl, allowing you to use the small bowl without the need to wash up the
large bowl after use.
N.B.
The large work bowl must always be fitted before the small work bowl can be set up
inside.
It will not always be possible to use the work bowls to their maximum capacity. The
amount of food/liquid you can process in the bowls will depend on the density of the
ingredients in the work bowl and the consistency of the desired end result. For example,
to achieve a consistent result when chopping or pureeing nuts, fruits, vegetables or meats
you may need to process in batches of 300-500g . If you are mixing dough which can be
very dense, you may need to process in batches of around 400g.
If you find that the motor is struggling or that the processing results are uneven, then
we would recommend that you reduce the amount of ingredients in the work bowl and
instead process in batches.
For liquid, we recommend that you do not fill the bowls above the Maximum Liquid Fill
markings on each bowl (900ml on the large work bowl and 300ml on the small work
bowl.) This is to avoid liquid spilling into the central spindle which may cause leakage.
