BLADE AND DISC
INSTRUCTIONS
The Cuisinart
®
Blade and Disc Holder holds: one
stainless steel blade, one detachable disc stem,
and three food processor discs.
Note: This unit comes with one medium
slicing disc and one medium shredding disc.
Additional discs available at Cuisinart.ca
The transparent cover locks to the base with
a tamper-resistant lock that will not open if
the blade and disc holder should tip over.
All blades and discs, like sharp knives,
should be stored out of the reach of children.
OPERATING THE LOCK
To unlock turn counter-clockwise. Gently lift up
the transparent cover. Do not force the cover
open when the knob is in the locked position. To
lock, gently close the cover and turn the knob
clockwise.
INSERTING ACCESSORIES
The blade and disc holder stores a metal
blade in the left triangular cavity. Hold each
piece carefully by the center hub, and insert
with its upper blade facing down.
WARNING:
DO NOT TOUCH METAL BLADE, AS DOING
SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY.
The detachable disc stem fits in the round
opening in the upper center section of the blade
and disc holder. Insert the disc stem face down,
with the rounded left side of the semi-circular
connector toward the back.
Icons embossed on the inside surface of the
blade and disc holder show proper placement of
the blades and detachable disc stem.
INSERTING AND REMOVING
DISCS
INSERTING DISCS
There are three disc slots on the right side of
the blade and disc holder. Each slot holds one
food processor disc securely, with disc cutting
blade totally protected behind a plastic barrier.
To insert a disc, hold it so the cutting side faces
left and the disc stem connector side faces
right. Grasp the disc by placing your thumb on
the edge of the disc and your fingers under the
center lock on the stem attachment plate.
This positions the disc for correct insertion into
the holder.
WARNING: CUTTING EDGES OF FOOD
PROCESSOR DISCS ARE VERY SHARP.
ALWAYS KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM
SHARP SIDE.
Never try to force a disc into the holder.
If inserted correctly, the disc will slide easily into
the slot. Slide the disc straight into a slot. The
disc will slip securely into place, with its cutting
blade behind the plastic barrier. Discs will sit
correctly and safely only when inserted in this
manner.
Note: Discs with fixed stems will not fit into
the blade and disc holder.
REMOVING DISCS
To remove a disc, grasp the disc by placing your
thumb on the edge of the disc and your fingers
under the center lock on the stem attachment
plate. Pull the disc straight out.
CAUTION: NEVER GRASP A DISC BY THE
BLADE EDGE.
CONNECTING TO
DISC HOLDER
For expanded storage capacity, the Cuisinart
®
Blade and Disc Holder can be used with the
Cuisinart
®
Disc Holder (model DH-4). The two
holders were designed with similar lines and
curves to create an attractive storage center
when placed side by side. You can create any
combination of blade and disc holders and disc
holders to suit your food processor accessory
storage needs.
CLEANING AND CARE
The blade and disc holder is made of
a high-impact plastic that has a smooth, easy-
to-clean surface. Occasionally wipe your blade
and disc holder with a cloth or sponge that has
been dipped in warm soapy water. To remove
stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution, then
wipe with a damp sponge.
Do not put the blade and disc holder in the
dishwasher.
Blades, disc stem and discs should
always be clean when they are put into the blade
and disc holder. The blade and disc holder is
not meant for temporary storage of soiled blades
between periods of use.

FOOD PROCESSOR
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Try chopping some practice foods, such as
zucchini or potatoes, before you process food to
eat. First, cut the ingredients into 1-inch (2.5 cm)
pieces of even size and length.
• Place the work bowl over the center stem,
with the handle area just left of center. Turn
counterclockwise to lock in place.
• Insert the metal chopping blade and put
ingredient pieces in the work bowl. Put on
the cover and turn counterclockwise to lock
onto work bowl. Align the pusher and the
pusher’s activating rod with the corresponding
openings on the feed tube, and push all the
way down.
• Press and release the PULSE button two
or three times. Each time the blade stops,
let the pieces drop to the bottom of the bowl
before you pulse again. This puts them in the
path of the blade each time the motor starts.
• Using the pulse/chopping technique, you get
an even chop without overprocessing. Check
the texture frequently by looking through the
cover. If you want a finer chop, press and
release the PULSE button until you achieve
the desired texture. Onions and other food
with a high water content will quickly end up
as a purée, unless examined through the work
bowl after each pulse to make sure they are
not overprocessed.
Try chopping other food like meat for hamburger
or sausage. Then make mayonnaise, pastry or
bread, as described in the following sections. To
obtain consistent results:
• Be sure all the pieces you add to the bowl
are about the same size.
• Be sure the amount you process is no larger
than amount recommended on the inside
cover of this booklet.
