USER GUIDE
You can slice, shred, and chop a multitude of vegetables and fruits in the Cuisinart®Food Processor. What you may
not know is that the food processor is the perfect tool for a number of other tasks, such as softening butter, making
breadcrumbs, making baby food, etc. Here is a guide that will help you in preparing just about anything!
FUNCTIONS NOTES TIPS.
KNEADING
DOUGH WITH
THE UNIVER-
SAL BLADE
First, process the dry ingredients (flour, salt, etc).
Press On to start processing. With the machine run-
ning, add the liquid ingredients through the feed
tube as quickly as the dry ingredients will absorb
them. Should liquid be added too quickly, wait until
ingredients in work bowl have been incorporated
before adding more liquid. Add remaining liquid
slowly with machine still running. If dough appears
too sticky, add additional flour, about 1 tablespoon
at a time, until a cohesive dough ball is formed.
Conversely, do the same should the dough be too
dry, adding additional liquid 1 tablespoon at a time
until a cohesive dough ball forms.
Never use more than 2 cups of
flour when preparing a yeasted
dough in this food processor.
SLICING AND
GRATING
WITH THE
REVERSIBLE
DISCS
The slicing side of the discs makes whole slices. It
slices fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, and semi-
frozen raw meat. The grating side of the discs shreds
most rm and hard cheeses. It also shreds vegetables
like potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.
Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing
and grating. The food will dictate the amount of pres-
sure: Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pres-
sure for medium foods, and rm pressure for harder
foods. Always process with even pressure.
For round fruits or vegetables: Remove a thick slice on
the bottom of the produce so that it sits upright in the
feed tube. If food does not t in the feed tube, cut in
half or quarters to t. 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 or grating cheese, be sure
that the cheese is well chilled.
To shred leafy vegetables like
lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves
together and stand them up in
feed tube. Process with even
pressure.

CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE
• Keep your Cuisinart®Expert Prep Pro Food Processor ready to use on the kitchen counter.
When not in use, leave it unplugged. Store accessories in the provided storage hub, inside
the work bowl.
• Keep the blade and discs out of the reach of children.
• All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe but on the top rack only. Due to
intense water heat, washing the work bowl, cover, and accessories on the bottom rack may
cause damage over time. Insert the cover with the feed tube facing up to ensure proper
cleaning. Insert the work bowl and pushers upside down for drainage. Remember to unload
the dishwasher carefully when removing sharp blade and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pushers, stem adapter, blade, or discs
immediately after use so food won’t dry on them. Be sure to position the pusherss and
work bowl upside down for drainage. If food lodges in the pushers, remove it by running
water through it, or use a bottle brush.
• If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do it carefully. When handling, use the plastic
hubs. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. If necessary,
use a brush.
• Work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with a soapy, nonabrasive cloth or sponge. Be sure
to dry it thoroughly.
• If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray stains with a spot remover and wipe with a
damp sponge.
• If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the procedure and wipe the area with a damp
sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder.
IMPORTANT: Always use the provided storage hub. Never store any blade or disc on
the stem adapter. No blade or disc should be placed on the shaft except when the
processor is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service repre-
sentative.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEM
The motor is protected from overloading by an automatic cut-out switch. If the appliance is
overloaded or operated continuously for too long, the motor may overheat and the food
processor may stop.
If this occurs, turn off, unplug and allow to cool for 30 minutes. In extreme cases cooling could
take up to 1 hour. Once cooled, you will be able to use the food processor as usual again.
Note that some stiff mixtures (such as bread dough) may cause the blade to rotate more slowly
than normal. If this happens, do not process for more than 1 minute.
If the blades or discs jam with food while processing, stop immediately and unplug from the
power outlet before clearing the wedged food. If this happens more than once, try processing
in smaller batches as the bowl may be overloaded.

12
TROUBLESHOOTING
Food Processing
The food is unevenly processed. The ingredients should be cut evenly into 1
to 3cm pieces before processing.
Process in batches to avoid overloading.
Slices are uneven or slanted. Place food cut side down into the feed tube.
Apply even pressure on the pushers.
Food falls over in feed tube. Feed tube should be loosely packed.
Food should not be tightly packed inside the
feed tube for best results.
Some food remains on top of the disc. It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut
remaining bits by hand and add to processed
ingredients.
Universal chopping/mixing/dough blade can-
not be removed from the stem adapter.
Place the blade/stem adapter assembly in a
bowl lled with warm tap water. This should
help loosen trapped food particles between
the blade and stem adapter. To see if food
has loosened, remove assembly from water
by lifting from the stem. Holding the stem,
place the blade assembly on countertop
and press down on stem. This should free
the blade from the stem. If blade still cannot
removed, return to warm water and repeat
above steps.

13
Dough Kneading
Motor slows down. Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in two batches.
Dough may be too wet (see below ). If motor
speeds up, continue processing. If not, add
more our, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the
motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans
the sides of the work bowl.
Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients. Always start the food processor before add-
ing liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream
though the feed tube, allowing the dry in-
gredients to absorb the liquid as fast as they
can. If too much liquid is added, wait until in-
gredients in the work bowl are incorporated,
then add remaining liquid slowly (do not turn
off the machine). Pour liquid onto dough as it
passes under feed tube opening; do not pour
liquid directly onto bottom of the work bowl.
Blade rises in work bowl. Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to
rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately
add 2 tablespoons of our through the feed
tube while the machine is running.
Dough doesn’t clean inside of the work bowl. Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in two batches.
Dough may be too dry (see below).
Dough may be too wet (see below).
Lumps of dough forms on top of blade and
does not become uniformly kneaded.
Stop food processor, carefully remove dough,
divide it into 3 pieces and redistribute them
evenly in the work bowl.
Dough feels tough after kneading. Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redis-
tribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or
until uniformly soft and pliable.
Dough is too dry. While food processor is running, add water, 1
tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the
inside of the bowl.
Dough is too wet. While food processor is running, add flour, 1
tablespoon at a time, until dough cleans the
inside of the bowl.

14
Technical
The motor does not start. There is a safety interlock to prevent the
motor from starting if it is not properly as-
sembled. Make sure the work bowl and work
bowl cover are securely locked into posi-
tion. If the motor still will not start, check the
power cord and outlet.
The food processor shuts off during
operation.
The cover may have become unlocked; check
to make sure it is securely in position.
A safety protector in the motor prevents the
motor from overheating, which is caused by
excessive strain. Press the Pulse/Off button,
unplug the unit, and wait 20 to 30 minutes to
allow the food processor to cool off before
resuming.
The motor slows down during operation. This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g.,
slicing/grating cheese) may require the motor
to work harder. Simply reposition the food in
the feed tube and try again.The maximum
load capacity may have been exceeded.
Remove some of the ingredients and con-
tinue processing.
The food processor vibrates or moves around
the countertop during processing.
Make sure the rubber feet at the bottom of
the unit are clean and dry. Also make sure
that the maximum load capacity is not being
exceeded.
This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g.,
slicing/grating cheese) may require the motor
to work harder.
