MACHINE CONTROLS

High and Low Control Buttons
The High and Low controls are buttons that allow the machine to run until Pulse/Off is selected. The High and Low speed control buttons direct the machine to run at either High or Low speed. Stop the machine by  pressing Pulse/Off. High speed is used for most chopping, slicing, and shredding tasks. Use Low speed for doughs, mixing batters, and creating emulsions.

1. Properly assemble and engage the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
3.  Press the High or Low button and the motor will start.
4. Press the Pulse/Off button when finished.

Pulse/Off Button
The Pulse control directs the machine to run only while it is being pressed. This capability provides more accurate control of the duration and frequency of processing. Unless otherwise specified, a pulse should be about 1 second.
With the machine properly assembled and engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl, press the Pulse button repeatedly as needed.
MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Using the Universal Blade for Chopping, Mixing, and Dough
Chopping

• For raw ingredients: Peel, core, and/or remove seeds and pits. Food should be cut into even ½- 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, either hold the Pulse button down or press High or Low to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve  desired consistency, and scrape the work bowl as  necessary. Low speed is recommended for making doughs and batters. High speed is recommended for most other chopping, processing, and slicing/ shredding tasks.

Puréeing

• To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a smooth purée is best achieved when all pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and then process on High until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as necessary. NOTE: Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes.

• T o purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids from the liquid, and process the solids alone. Add cooking liquid and process as needed.
  Dough

• First, process the dry ingredients (flour, salt, etc). Start processing on Low. With the machine running, add the liquid ingredients through the small 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 forms. 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.

Using the Reversible Slicing and Shredding Discs

• The slicing side of the discs makes whole slices. It slices fruits and vegetables, cooked meat, and semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding side of the discs shreds most firm and hard cheeses. It also shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.

• Always pack food in the feed tube evenly for slicing and shredding. The food will dictate the amount of pressure: Use light pressure for soft foods, medium pressure for medium foods, and  firm pressure for harder foods. Always process
  with 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. If food does not fit in the feed tube, cut in half or quarters 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 or shredding soft cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled.

• For hard cheeses, like Parmesan, room temperature cheese yields best results.

• To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves together and stand them up in feed tube. Process with even pressure.

NOTE: Do not use universal blade when slicing or shredding.
NOTE: Always use the pusher when slicing or shredding. Never put your hands in the feed tube while unit is running.

CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE

• Keep your Cuisinart® 9-Cup Continuous Feed 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 pushers and work bowl upside down for drainage. If food lodges in the pusher, 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 them 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 representative.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Like all powerful electrical appliances, a food processor should be handled with care. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and your family from misuse that could cause injury.

• Handle and store metal blade and discs carefully utilizing the provided storage hub. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never install the stem adapter with blade or discs until the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on the stem adapter as far as it will go.
• Always insert the stem adapter with metal blade in the work bowl before putting ingredients in bowl.
•  When slicing or shredding food, always use the  pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into feed tube.
• Always wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning before you remove the pusher assembly or cover from the work bowl.
•  Always unplug the unit before removing food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.
• Always remove work bowl from base of machine before you remove the universal blade or slicing/ shredding disc.
• Be careful to prevent the universal blade or slicing/ shredding disc from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter with blade before tilting the work bowl.

TECHNICAL DATA

The motor in your food processor operates on a standard line operating current. The appropriate voltage and frequency for your machine are shown on a label on the bottom of 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 successive batches, the motor may overheat. If this happens, the processor will stop. Turn it off, unplug the unit, and wait for the motor to cool before proceeding. It will usually cool within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour. Safety switches prevent the machine from operating when the work bowl or the cover is not locked into  position. The motor stops within seconds when the motor is turned off; and when the pusher assembly is removed, a fast-stop circuit also enables the motor to stop within seconds. Cuisinart offers a limited three-year warranty on the entire machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Food Processing

1. Problem: The food is unevenly processed
   Solution:
   • The ingredients should be cut evenly into ½- to 1-inch pieces before processing.
   • Process in batches to avoid overloading.

2. Problem: Slices are uneven or slanted.
   Solution:
   • Place food cut side down into the feed tube.
   • Apply even pressure on the pusher.

3.   Problem: Food falls over in feed tube.
   Solution:
   • Food should not be tightly packed inside the feed tube. For best results feed tube should be loosely packed.

4. Problem: Some food remains on top of the disc.
   Solution:
   • It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut remaining bits by hand and add to processed ingredients.

5.   Problem: Universal chopping/mixing/dough blade cannot be removed from the stem adapter.
   Solution:
   • Place the blade/stem adapter assembly in a bowl filled 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 be removed, return to warm water and repeat above steps.

Dough Kneading

1. Problem: Motor slows down.
   Solution:
   • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
   • Dough may be too wet (see number 8). If motor speeds up, continue processing. If not, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the motor speeds up. Process until dough cleans the sides of the work bowl.

2.  Problem: Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients.
   Solution:
   • Always start the food processor before adding liquid. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream through the small feed tube, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb the liquid as fast as they can. If too much liquid is added, wait until ingredients in the work bowl are incorporated, then add remaining liquid slowly with the machine running. Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed tube opening; do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of the work bowl.

3. Problem: Blade rises in work bowl.
   Solution:
   • Excessively sticky dough can cause blade to rise. Carefully reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons of flour through the feed tube while the machine is running.

4. Problem: Dough doesn’t clean inside of the work bowl.
   Solution:
   • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
   • Dough may be too dry (see number 7).
   • Dough may be too wet (see number 8).

5. Problem: Nub of dough forms on top of blade and does not become uniformly kneaded.
   Solution:
   • Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it into 3 pieces, and redistribute them evenly in the work bowl.

6.  Problem: Dough feels tough after kneading.
   Solution:
   • Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable.

7. Problem: Dough is too dry.
   Solution:
   • While machine is running, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the bowl.

8.  Problem: Dough is too wet.
   Solution:
   • While machine is running, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough cleans the inside of the bowl.

Continuous Feed

1. Problem: Food is sticking to the walls of the continuous feed work bowl.
   Solution: Make sure the continuous feed work  bowl is clean and completely dry before using.

2. Problem: Food is clogging the continuous feed chute.
   Solution: We suggest using the medium slicing/shredding disc. To clear food from the chute, remove the lid from the continuous feed work bowl and then remove the slicing/shredding disc. Use a small spatula to clear food and dry bowl well.

Note: Foods with a higher water content can be more prone to sticking to the inside walls of the chute.
When slicing or shredding, begin processing ingredients in order from the least water content to the most. As the bowl gets wet, some ingredients might adhere to the side of the work bowl. Some examples of lower water content vegetables: cabbage and Brussels sprouts Medium water content: radish, carrots, celery Higher water content: cucumbers
For best results, be sure to trim all items so that they loosely fit in the feed tube. It should take minimal to no effort for items to feed through the tube.

1. Problem: The motor does not start.
   Solution:
   • There is a safety interlock to prevent the motor from starting if it is not properly assembled. Make sure the work bowl and work bowl cover are securely locked into position.
   • If the motor still will not start, check the power cord and outlet.

2.   Problem: The food processor shuts off during operation.
   Solution:
   • The cover may have become unlocked; check to make sure it is securely in position.

Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake

The chocolate cookie crust is the perfect pairing for this beautiful, simple- to-make cheesecake.
When serving, grate bittersweet chocolate over top for an extra decadent garnish.
Yield: one 8-inch cake, about 12 servings

INGREDIENTS
Nonstick cooking spray

Crust

Filling

Raspberry Sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place a baking pan with a depth of at least ¼ inch on the bottom rack of the oven and fill with water. Position the other rack in the middle of the oven, directly over the water-filled pan. Lightly coat the inside  of an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.

2. Prepare the crust. Insert the universal blade in the work bowl of the Cuisinart® 9-Cup Continuous Feed Food Processor. Add the cookies and pulse 6 to 8 times to chop, then process on High to finely grind, about 20 seconds. Add  the butter and pulse about 6 times to combine. Remove and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve.

3. Prepare the filling. Remove the universal blade to wipe out work bowl, then replace the blade.
   Add the cream cheese. Pulse about 5 times, scrape down sides of bowl, and process on High for 30 to 35 seconds until creamy. Add the sugar and salt and pulse a few times, then process on Low until homogenous, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the unit running on Low, add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla, and process until combined.

4. Add the yogurt and pulse until well mixed.

5. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Tap a few times to remove any air bubbles and reserve. Rinse bowl and blade and return to the unit.

6. Prepare the raspberry sauce. (Note: The raspberry sauce can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.) Put the raspberries and sugar into the work bowl fitted with the universal blade. Process on High until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer set over a clean bowl. Pour the strained raspberry sauce over the top of the cheesecake in a circular pattern and use a knife or skewer to make an attractive  swirl.

7. If any of the water has evaporated from the baking pan in the oven, add some more. Place the springform pan on the middle rack. Bake for 1 hour, covering loosely with foil after 40 minutes, then turn off the oven after the full hour.  Leave the cake in the oven for an additional hour. Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.

For a delectable treat, spread on warm toast.
Yield: 2 cups
INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and lightly golden-brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Put the hazelnuts, sugar, and salt in the work bowl of the Cuisinart® 9-Cup Continuous Feed
   Food Processor fitted with the universal blade. Pulse 5 to 6 times to break up the hazelnuts, then process on High until hazelnuts resemble a thick paste.
