INSTRUCTIONS
Before First Use
Before using your Cuisinart Elite Collection
®
2.0
14-Cup Food Processor for the first time, wash
the work bowls, work bowl cover, pusher assembly,
blades, discs, and spatula (see Cleaning and
Maintenance Instructions on page 16).
1. Place the food processor base on a dry, level
countertop with the controls facing toward
you. Do not plug the unit in until it is fully
assembled.
Note: To use the small bowl it must be
nested in the large bowl for operation.
2. With the large bowl on the base,
use the handle to turn the work bowl
counterclockwise to lock it onto the
housing base.
To use the small bowl, place your thumbs in
the finger recesses and align the large bowl
with the pour spout facing opposite the
handle. Push down to lock.
Blade Operation
The BladeLock feature is designed to
keep the blade in place during processing,
pouring, lifting, and handling tasks — but is
not permanently attached.
Handle with
care. Always check to be sure the blade is
securely locked before turning the bowl
upside down.
Note: The chopping/mixing blades should
not be removed with liquid contents
above the hub of the blade in the bowls,
as this will defeat the SealTight
TM
system.
Large Blade Operation
With your large work bowl assembled on the
base, grasp the large chopping/mixing blade
by its hub, align it over the center of the
bowl, place it onto the shaft and turn it until
it slides into place. Firmly push down to
lock.
Always check to be sure the blade is
securely locked before turning the bowl
upside down.
(To remove, first take the
bowl off the base and put it on a flat
surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the
rim of the bowl and pull up gently and
carefully.)
Dough Blade Operation
For use with the large bowl. Carefully lift and
place the dough blade on the shaft and turn
it until it slides into place.
Small Blade Operation
With both work bowls assembled on the
base, position the stem adapter over the
center of the bowls, place it on the shaft and
turn it until it slides into place. Grasp the
small chopping/mixing blade by its hub,
place it on the stem adapter, turning it until it
slides into place, and push down firmly to
lock.
Always check to be sure the blade is
securely locked before turning the bowl
upside down.
(To remove, first take the
bowl off the base and put it on a flat
surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the
rim of the bowl and pull up gently and
carefully.)
Disc Operation
When using the large bowl, position the stem
adapter over the center of the bowl, place it
on the shaft and turn it until it slides into
place. If using the adjustable slicing disc,
use the rotating hub and indicator markings
to select slicing thickness. Using the plastic
hub, align and insert the disc over the stem
adapter.
