DOs and DON'Ts WHEN
USING THE BLENDER
DO:
Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as
that stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.
Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.
Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add
remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are
uniformly mixed.
Cut most foods into pieces approximately Vfe inch (1.3 cm) to
1inch (2.5
cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses
into pieces no larger than Vz inch (1.3 cm).
Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such
as juice or alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients
have been added.
Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the
blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may
occur to the blender jar or cutting assembly.
Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the
cover on.
Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber
gasket before cleaning.
When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food
from the sides of the blender jar and place food in the center of
the blender jar, over the cutting assembly.
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs,
nuts, spices, etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting
assembly are completely dry.
If
food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when
blending, pulse in short bursts.
Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades
stop rotating between pulses.

smaller amounts of the food at one time.
ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING
To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through the open
feed tube. This is especially useful when making sauces.
Asmall hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow,
steady stream -useful when making dressings.
When you want to add small pieces of food like cheese, meat or
garlic cloves while machine is running, drop them through the open
feed tube.
ALWAYS USE THE PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD THROUGH FEED
TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR A SPATULA.
CHOPPING, PUREEING AND MIXING TIPS
Refer to Chopping Blade Assembly instructions on page 9.
These are some conditions that affect your results:
• Size of pieces you put in bowl - all should be about the same
size to achieve even results.
• Amount of food you process - don't overfill work bowl.
• Type of processing you choose - continuous or pulsing.
Chopping (using the Chopping Blade)
• For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits.
Food should be cut into even, Vz to 1-inch pieces. Foods cut into
same-size pieces produce the most even results.
•Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop,
run the machine continuously on High or Low. Watch ingredients
closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work
bowl as necessary.
Pureeing (using the Chopping Blade)
• To puree fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables: ingredients
should be cut into Vz to 1-inch pieces; a smooth puree is
achieved best when all the pieces are equal in size. Pulse on
High or Low to initially chop and then process on desired speed
until food is pureed; scrape the work bowl as necessary.

SLICING AND SHREDDING FUNCTION
The reversible slicing/shredding disc can slice and shred avariety
of fruits,
vegetables and cheeses. See Quick Reference Guide for
Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding on page 3 of the recipe
booklet.

3. Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl.
To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and
lift it straight up. Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl
counterclockwise and lift it straight up to remove it from base.
SLICING AND SHREDDING TIPS
Slicing (using the Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc)
•Always use Low speed when slicing.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly to slice. Some foods,
like hard
vegetables, need firm pressure on the feed tube, while
softer foods need light pressure.
• For julienne or matchstick cuts: Place food horizontally in the
feed tube and process with even pressure to create long, plank
like slices. Replace stack of slices in feed tube vertically and
process again using even pressure.
• For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick slice on the
bottom of the food so that it sits upright in the feed tube. Iffood
does not fit in the feed tube, halve or quarter to fit. Process with
even pressure.
• For small ingredients, like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries:
Trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube.
• When slicing cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled
before slicing.

Shredding (using the Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc)
• Always use Low speed when shredding.
• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly to shred. Some foods,
like hard vegetables, need firm pressure on the feed tube, while
softer foods need light pressure.
• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves
together and stand up in feed tube. Process with even pressure.
• When shredding cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled
before shredding.
CLEANING AND STORING YOUR
FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENTS
The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding
disc are top-shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your
dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where
you place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the
dishwasher carefully.
The work bowl collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a
damp cloth.
Ifyou wash the blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid
leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight.
To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold
the blade by its plastic center and move rapidly up and down on the
center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective.
If
necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
Store the chopping blade and slicing/shredding disc as you would
sharp knives - out of the reach of children.

can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the
reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if
necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center
toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the
cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such
nonconforming products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT
Ifyou are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart product,
we suggest that you call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-
726-0190 before returning the product for servicing. Often, our
Consumer Service Representatives can help solve the problem
without having
the product serviced. Ifservicing is needed, a
Representative
can confirm whether the product is under warranty
and direct you to the nearest service location.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by
someone other than Cuisinart's Authorized Service Center, please
remind the servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-
726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed, the
product is serviced with the correct parts, and to ensure that the
product is still under warranty.
