PARTS

1. Work bowl– for slicing and shredding unlimited amounts of ingredients or separating sliced and/ or shredded ingredients
2.  Stem adapter– works with the food processors reversible slicing/shredding discs
3.  Slinger disc– directs sliced or shredded ingredients through the continuous  feed attachment

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart® continuous feed attachment for the first time, wash the work bowl, stem adapter, and slinger disc (see cleaning instructions at right).

1. Place the food processor housing base on a dry, level countertop with the controls facing you. Do not plug the unit in until it is fully assembled.
2.  Substitute the food processor work bowl for  the continuous feed attachment. Place the  continuous feed work bowl on top of foodprocessor base, with the work bowl handle just to the right of center. Turn the work bowl clockwise to lock it onto the housing base.

CONTINUOUS FEED
ATTACHMENT OPERATION

1. With the continuous feed work bowl locked into place on the food processor housing base, insert the stem adapter into the continuous feed work bowl.
2.  Hold slinger disc with rib facing up. Slide slinger disc over the stem adapter until it is firmly in place.
3.  Carefully place slicing/shredding disc over the stem adapter with the side being used facing up.
4.  Place the food processor work bowl cover, with feed tube at the back of the work bowl, on the work bowl by latching the back on first and then pushing down on the front to lock into place.
5.  Plug the food processor base into an electrical outlet.
6.  Place a receptacle for processed food on counter under chute. You can use bowls or  saucepans. Those with straight sides under 6 inches tall work best.
7. Put food in feed tube. Remember to cut one end of food flat if you are slicing, and to insert in feed tube flat side down. Insert pusher and using light pressure, guide the food with one hand, while using either high, low, or pulse mode. Slinger disc will direct food through chute into receptacle. Total amount of food you can slice or shred is limited only by size of receptacle under chute. You can replace full receptacle with an empty one and continue slicing or shredding.

CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® Food Processor from the electrical outlet and remove the Cuisinart® continuous feed attachment from the food processor housing base before cleaning. Keep the discs out of the reach of children.

• The work bowl, stem, and slinger disc are dishwasher safe but on the top rack only. Due to intense water heat, washing the work bowl, stem, and slinger disc on the bottom rack may cause damage over time. Insert the work bowl upside down for drainage. Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully when removing sharp discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, stem adapter, slinger disc, and slicing/shredding   discs immediately after use so food won’t dry on them. If food lodges in the chute on the  work bowl, remove it by running water through it, or use a bottle brush.
• If you wash the 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.  Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

OPERATING AND SAFETY TIPS

Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the housing base.

• Always use the continuous feed attachment with the Food Processor housing base on a clean, sturdy, and dry surface.
•  Don’t put hands inside the continuous feed attachment work bowl or feed tube at any time.
• Don’t remove continuous feed attachment while unit is running.
• Handle and store metal discs carefully, utilizing the storage hub provided with the food processor. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put stem adapter discs on the stem adapter until the work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the disc is properly in place on the stem adapter. Disc should be level.
• When slicing or shredding food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or utensils into  feed tube. Only use feed tube pusher provided with the food processor.
•  Always wait for the disc to stop spinning before you remove the pusher or cover from the work bowl.
• Always unplug the food processor before removing food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.
• Always remove work bowl from food processor base before you remove the slicing/shredding disc and slinger disc.
• Be careful to prevent the slicing/shredding disc from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter with disc before tilting the work bowl.
• Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.
• To remove continuous feed attachment from the housing base, turn the work bowl clockwise to unlock it from the housing base.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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: radishes, 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. Should bowl and/or chute become clogged with food, pause and disassemble to clean work bowl and chute and dry both well.
Food is clogging the continuous feed chute.| 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.
Note: Foods with a higher water content can be more prone to sticking to the inside walls of the chute. Note: While processing large quantities, chute may have to be cleared periodically.
