Blade Operation
The BladeLock feature is designed to keep the blade in place during processing, pouring, lifting, and handling tasks — but is not permanently attached. Handle with care. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down.
Note: The chopping/mixing blades should not be removed with liquid contents above the hub of the blade in the bowls, as this will defeat the SealTightTM system.
Large Blade Operation
With your large work bowl assembled on the base, grasp the large chopping/mixing blade by its hub, align it over the center of the bowl, place it onto the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. Firmly push down to lock. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)
Dough Blade Operation
For use with the large bowl. Carefully lift and place the dough blade on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place.
Small Blade Operation
With both work bowls assembled on the base, position the stem adapter over the center of the bowls, place it on the shaft, and turn it until it slides into place. Grasp the small chopping/mixing blade by its hub, place it on the stem adapter, turning it until it slides into place, and push down firmly to lock. Always check to be sure the blade is securely locked before turning the bowl upside down. (To remove, first take the bowl off the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the rim of the bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)
Disc Operation
When using the large bowl, position the stem adapter over the center of the bowl, place it on the shaft and turn it until it slides into place. If using the adjustable slicing disc, use the rotating hub and indicator markings to select slicing thickness. Using the plastic hub, align and insert the discover the stem adapter.

If using the reversible shredding disc, determine whether the fine or medium side will be used and use the plastic hub to twist into position on the stem adapter. The plastic hub may be used for the removal of this disc.
Cover Operation
Place the work bowl cover onto the work bowl by positioning it directly over the bowls, and push it down on the front and back to lock into place. Another way to put the cover on is by latching the back on first and then pushing it down on the front to lock it into place. Be sure both front and back locks are fully engaged. To remove the cover, push in both sides of the release button (located on the cover interlock) and lift up to remove.

Note: The work bowl cover fits, locks, and seals on the large bowl and with the nested bowl combination. The work bowl cover will become easier to engage with repeated use.
Align pusher assembly and activating rod with the feed tube opening on the work bowl cover and slide it down completely. Plug the food processor into a proper electrical outlet. It is now ready for use.
Note: The bowl, lid, and pushers must be securely in place for the unit to operate.

MACHINE CONTROLS

ON Button

The ON control is a continuous button that allows the machine to run until OFF is selected.

  1.  Properly assemble and engage the machine. The blue LED bar will light up.
  2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
  3. Press the ON button. The blue LED bar will blink and the motor will start.
  4. Press the OFF button when finished.

Pulse Button
The PULSE control is a momentary button that allows 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 is about one second.
With the machine properly assembled and engaged, and ingredients in the work bowl, press the PULSE button repeatedly as needed. The blue LED bar will blink upon each activation.
Dough Button
1. Prepare the dough ingredients and place them in a work bowl fitted with the dough blade.
2. Assemble and engage the work bowl cover and pusher.
3. Press the DOUGH button and the blue LED bar will blink.
4. Then press the ON button to knead the dough.
5. Press the OFF button when finished.
Note: Kneading dough should only be done in the large work bowl.

WORK BOWLS
Two nested work bowls are provided for a versatile processing experience. We recommend using the work bowls in a manner that will optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe requires using multiple bowls, begin with the small bowl to minimize cleaning. This way the small bowl can serve as a prep bowl to reserve chopped ingredients for a recipe.
Note that the bowls lock into place to pour while nested. The convenient finger recesses can be used to remove the small bowl with ingredients, or the bowls can remain nested during pouring or food removal.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the work bowl; this will not affect the functionality of your work bowl.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS

Chopping
(using the Chopping Blade)

  • 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 the same size pieces produce the evenest results.

  • Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop, either hold the PULSE down or press ON to run the machine continuously. Watch ingredients closely to
    achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary. Puréeing (using the Chopping Blade)

  • To purée fresh fruits or cooked fruits/ vegetables: Ingredients should be cut into 1-inch pieces; a smooth purée is achieved easiest when all the pieces are equal in size.
    Pulse to initially chop and then process ON until food is puréed; scrape the work bowl as necessary. Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes. (See Mashed Potatoes recipe on page 71.)  To purée solids for a soup or sauce: Strain the solids from the liquid and process the solids alone. Add cooking liquid to process as needed.
    Kneading (using the Dough Blade or the ChoppingBlade with Dough Speed)

  • The exclusive dough control processes pastry doughs, batters and kneads yeast bread doughs. The chopping blade is ideal for pastry doughs, while the dough blade is specifically designed for kneading yeast doughs.

  • The pusher block is recommended to be in the locked position when kneading dough to avoid it from moving around — some vibration is still normal.

  • Dough kneading should be done in the large bowl only. Slicing (using the Adjustable Slicing Disc)

  •  Always pack food in the feed tube evenly to slice. For smaller amounts of food, use the smaller feed tube. For cheese slicing, always use the large feed tube. 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 Julienne or Matchstick Cuts. Place food horizontally in the feed tube and process with even pressure to create long, plank-like slices. Place a stack of slices in the small eed tube vertically and process again using even pressure. These will result in short julienne cuts.

  •  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.
    The process with even pressure.

  •  For small ingredients, like mushrooms, radishes or strawberries: Trim the ends so the food sits upright in the feed tube. Take advantage of the smaller feed tube if appropriate.

  •  When slicing cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled before slicing. Shredding (using the Reversible Shredding Disc)

  •  Always pack food in the feed tube evenly to shred. For smaller amounts of food, use the smaller feed tube. For cheese shredding, always use the large feed tube. 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.  To shred leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach: Roll leaves together and stands up in a feed tube. The process with even pressure.

  • When shredding cheese, be sure that the cheese is well chilled before shredding.
    Whipping

  •  As an optional attachment, Cuisinart also offers a whipping disc for egg whites, cream, etc. This part can be ordered separately using part number FP-14WHIP.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Keep your Cuisinart Elite Collection  2.0 14-Cup
Food Processor ready to use on the kitchen counter. When not in use, leave it unplugged. This food processor includes a storage case with lock for the safekeeping of blades and iscs.
Keep the blades and discs out of the reach of children.
All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher 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. (Note: The seal is  removable for dishwashing or handwashing.)  Insert the work bowl and pushers upside down for drainage. Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully wherever you place sharp blades and discs.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, seal, pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately after use so food won’t dry on them. Be sure to place the pushers upside down for drainage. If food lodges in the pusher, remove it by running water through it, or use a bottle brush. If further cleaning of the cover is necessary after dishwashing or hand-washing, remove the seal and run faucet water pressure directly through the holes in the cover.
If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. When handling, use the plastic hubs on the blades and discs. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear romsight. To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic center and move it rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. The use of a spray attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a brush.
The work bowls are made of durable plastic that is shatter-resistant and heat- resistant. They should not be placed in a microwave oven. The housing base may be wiped clean with a soapy, non-abrasive material. Be sure to dry once clean.
Four rubber feet on the underside keep the base from moving on most work surfaces when the machine is processing heavy loads. 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.
The Accessory Storage Case is made of high-impact plastic that has a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
Occasionally, wipe your Accessory Storage Case with a cloth or sponge that has been dipped in warm, soapy water. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution, then wipe with a damp sponge. Do not put the Accessory Storage Case in the dishwasher.
Blades, stem adapter and discs should always be clean when they are put into the Accessory Storage Case. The Accessory Storage Case is not meant for the temporary storage of soiled blades between periods of use.
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 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 blades and discs carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
Always place the stem adapter on the motor shaft before assembling the discs.
Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft until the work bowl is locked in place.
Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on the motor shaft as far as it will go.
Always insert chopping blade and dough 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 the 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 the work bowl from the base of a machine before you remove the chopping blade or dough blade.

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 and wait for the motor to cool before proceeding. It will usually cool within 10  minutes. In extreme cases, it could take up to 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 evenly cut food into the feed tube.
    • Apply even pressure on the pusher.

  3. Problem: Food falls over in the feed tube.
    Solution:
    • Large feed tube must be packed full for best results. If processing smaller quantities, use the small feed tube.

  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.

Dough Processing

  1. Problem: Motor slows down.
    Solution:
    • Amount of dough may exceed the maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
    • Dough may be too wet (see number 9). 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, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it. If too much liquid is added, wait until ingredients in the work bowl have mixed, then add the 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 the bottom of the work bowl.

  3. Problem: Blade rises in work bowl.
    Solution:
    • Blade may not have been pushed down into the lock position before starting the process.
    • Excessively sticky dough can cause the blade to rise. Reinsert the blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons of flour through the feed tube while the machine is running.

  4. Problem: The large pusher moves when processing dough or other heavy loads.
    Solution:
    • The pusher lock feature, located above the handle, should be pulled out (some vibration is normal).

  5. Problem: Dough doesn’t clean inside of the work bowl.
    Solution:
    • Amount of dough may exceed the maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
    • Dough may be too dry (see number 8).
    • Dough may be too wet (see number 9).

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

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

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

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

Technical

  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 you are slicing or shredding and the above solution does not work, make sure that the food contents in the feed tube are cut below the maximum fill line so that
    activation rod can engage the motor.
    • 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.
    • A safety protector in the motor prevents the motor from overheating, which is caused by excessive strain. Press the Off control button and wait 10 to 15 minutes to allow
    the food processor to cool off before resuming.

  3. Problem: The food processor cover becomes unlatched in the back and/or makes a loud noise.
    Solution:
    • The back of the cover becoming unlatched, and any related noise, will not prevent the unit from working. Simply push down to lock the back into position.

  4. Problem: The motor slows down during operation.
    Solution:
    • This is normal as some heavier loads (e.g., slicing/shredding 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 continue processing.

  5. Problem: It is difficult to remove the chopping/mixing blade from the work bowl.
    Solution:
    • These innovative blades have been designed to lock in the work bowl to prevent them from falling out when emptying the contents of the bowl. Using extreme care, use little extra force to remove the blade.

  6. Problem: The food processor vibrated/ moved around the countertop during processing.
    Solution:
    • 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/shredding cheese) may require the motor to work harder.

  7. Problem: The large pusher falls out when the cover is turned upside down.
    Solution:
    • The pusher lock feature, located above the handle, should be pulled out.
