leave spots on the countertop, spray them with a
spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge. If any
trace of the spot remains, repeat procedure and
wipe the area with a damp sponge and nonabra-
sive powder. To clean the inside of the detachable
stem, slide the stem release button on the side
up as far as it will go and hold it there as you run
water through the stem.
IMPORTANT: Never store any blade or disc on the
motor shaft. 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 per-
formed by an authorized service representative.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical appliances, a food pro-
cessor should be handled with care. Follow these
guidelines to protect you and your family from
misuse that could cause injury.
• Handle metal blade and discs carefully. Their
cutting edges are very sharp.
• Always place disc on fl at, stable surface before
connecting detachable stem.
• Never put blade or disc on motor shaft until work
bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that blade or disc is down as far
as it will go.
• Always insert metal blade in work bowl before
putting ingredients in bowl.
• When slicing or shredding food, always use
pusher. Never put your fi ngers or spatula in feed
tube.
• Always wait for blade or disc to stop spinning
before you remove pusher assembly or cover
from work bowl.
• Be careful to prevent metal blade from falling out
of work bowl when emptying bowl. Remove it
before tilting bowl, or hold it in place with your
fi nger, a spatula, or spoon.
• Do not use pusher assembly if sleeve becomes
detached from pusher. Call Cuisinart Consumer
Service immediately. Our toll-free number is
listed on the warranty.
SOME TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food processor operates on
standard line operating current. The appropriate
voltage and frequency for your machine are shown
on label under the base.
An automatic, temperature-controlled circuit
breaker in the motor ensures complete protection
against motor burnout. If the processor runs for
an exceptionally long time when chopping, mixing
or kneading a thick or heavy mixture in excessive
batches, the motor may overheat. If this happens,
the processor will stop. Turn it off before proceed-
ing. It will usually cool off within 10 minutes. In
extreme cases, it could take an hour.
Safety switches prevent the machine from operat-
ing when the work bowl or the cover is not locked
into position. The motor stops within seconds
when the motor is turned off, and a fast-stop
circuit stops it instantly when the pusher assembly
is unlocked.
