MACHINE CONTROLS
High, Low, and Mix Control Paddles
The High, Low, and Mix controls are paddles that allow the machine to run until Off is selected. The Mix paddle is a unique function that allows for mixing at just the right speed for a wide range of mixing tasks.

1. Properly assemble the machine.
2. Add ingredients to the work bowl, either through the feed tube or directly into the bowl.
3. Press the High, Low, or Mix paddle. The white LED light will illuminate and the motor will start.
4. Press the Off paddle when finished.

Pulse Paddle
The Pulse control is a paddle 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 should be about one second. With the machine properly assembled and ingredients in the work bowl, press the Pulse paddle repeatedly as needed. The white LED light will illuminate upon activation.

MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Using the Chopping/Mixing/Dough Blade

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 paddle down or press High or Low to run the machine continuously.
• Watch ingredients closely to achieve the desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary. High speed is recommended for most chopping and processing 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 the pieces are equal in size. Pulse to initially chop and then process on High or Low until the food is puréed; scrape
  the work bowl as necessary. Note: Do not use this method to purée cooked white potatoes.

• To 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.

Mixing

• The Mixing function is designed to gently mix dough and other items without over-processing.
• It is perfect for incorporating chips and nuts into cookie dough or lightly mixing a muffin batter or scone dough, ensuring that the mix-ins remain intact. It also is excellent for savoury items such as guacamole when a nice and chunky mixture is desired.
• All ingredients must be evenly distributed in the work bowl first before adding additional mix-in ingredients (e.g. chocolate chips, nuts, etc.).

Dough

• Always use Low speed when kneading yeasted dough. Be sure that the medium pusher lock is in the locked position when kneading dough to prevent it from moving around — some vibration is normal.
• Always start the food processor before adding liquid.
• First process the dry ingredients (flour, salt, etc.) and then add the liquid in a slow, steady stream or through the drizzle hole in the pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it.
• If the liquid is added too quickly, wait until the ingredients in the work bowl have mixed, then add the remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the machine). Never use more than 4 cups of white/all-purpose flour when preparing a yeasted dough.
• Using the Reversible Shredding and Adjustable Slicing Discs
• The slicing disc makes whole slices. It slices fruits and vegetables, cooked meat and semi-frozen raw meat. The shredding disc 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 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 a feed tube.
• Process with even pressure.
  Note: Always use the pusher when slicing or shredding. Never put your hands in the feed tube while the unit is running.

RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM WORK BOWL CAPACITY

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 several 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!

cut into 1-inch pieces. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Perfect for making cheesecakes, dips, pasta fillings and more.
Firm Cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss, Edam, Gouda, etc.)| Slicing or Shredding Disc| Shredding: Low or Mix Slicing: Low or High| Cheese should be well chilled before slicing/shredding. Cut to fit feed tube. Use light to medium pressure when slicing/shredding.
Hard Cheeses (Parmesan, Romano, etc.)| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade Slicing or Shredding Disc| Shredding: Low or Mix; Slicing: Low| If using the chopping blade, cut into ½-inch pieces. Pulse to break up and then process until finely grated. This will produce a nicely grated cheese. If slicing or shredding, cut to fit the feed tube. Use light to medium pressure when slicing/shredding.
Baby Food| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Pulse and Low, High, or Mix| For all fruit and vegetable purées, cut ingredients into ½- to 1-inch pieces. Steam ingredients until completely soft. Pulse to chop, then process until completely smooth (add steaming liquid through the feed tube when processing if necessary). To ensure there are no lumps, press the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Keeps frozen in ice cube trays for individual 1-ounce portions.
Butter| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade Slicing or Shredding Disc| High| For creaming: Bring butter to room temperature. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Process, scraping bowl as necessary. For compound (flavoured) butter, process flavouring ingredients, such as herbs, zest, vegetables, etc., before adding butter. For shredding /slicing: Freeze briefly. Use light to medium pressure to shred or slice.

Shredded butter is great for preparing certain pastry doughs. Sliced butter is great for serving alongside corn on the cob or freshly made rolls.

Crumbs (bread, cookie, cracker, chip)| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| High| Break into pieces. Pulse to break up further, and then process until desired consistency. This will make perfect bread/cracker/chip crumbs for coating meats and fish. Processed cookies make delicious pie and cake crusts!
Fresh Herbs| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Pulse| Wash and dry herbs VERY well. Pulse to roughly chop. Continue pulsing until desired consistency is achieved.
Ground Meat| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Pulse and High| Cut meat into ½-inch pieces. Pulse to chop — about 14 long pulses or until desired consistency is achieved. If a purée is desired, continue to process. Never chop/purée more than 1½ pounds at one time.
Ice Cream| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| High| Put frozen fruit cut into 1-inch pieces into the work bowl with liquid (juice or milk), and any desired sweeteners, such as sugar, honey, simple syrup and other flavours.

Process until smooth.

Milk Shakes/ Smoothies| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Low| For milkshakes, first, add ice cream. While the unit is running, add milk through the feed tube until the desired consistency is achieved. For smoothies, add fruit first, then add the liquid through the feed tube while the unit is running.
Nuts| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Pulse and High| Pulse to chop to desired consistency. To make nut butter, pulse to break up, and then process until smooth, stopping to scrape down as needed.
Superfine Sugar| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| High| Process granulated sugar for about 1 minute until finely ground. Excellent for use in meringues and other baked goods.
Whipped Cream| Chopping/Mixing/ Dough Blade| Low| Process well-chilled cream until cream begins to thicken. Add sugar as desired; process continuously until cream reaches the desired consistency. This cream is dense and perfect as a whipped topping for cake or ice cream.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• Keep your Cuisinart® Core Custom™ 13-Cup 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 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.
• Place the cover with the feed tube facing up to ensure proper cleaning. Place the work bowl and pushers upside down for drainage. Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully when removing sharp blades and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pushers and blade or disc 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 using 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. If necessary, use a brush.
• The work bowl is made of Tritan® plastic with metal components. It 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 them 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 blades and discs carefully utilizing the provided storage hub. Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put the stem adapter into the work bowl until the work bowl is locked into 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 a metal blade in the work bowl before putting ingredients in the 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/mixing/dough blade or slicing/shredding disc.
• Be careful to prevent the blade or disc from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter with the blade or disc 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 1/2- to 1-inch pieces before processing.
   • Process in batches to avoid overloading.

2. Problem: Slices are uneven or slanted.
   Solution:

   • Place evenly cut food, cut side down, into the feed tube.
   • Apply even pressure on the pusher.

3. Problem: Food falls over in the feed tube.
   Solution:

   • The feed tube should be packed full for best results.

4. Problem: Some food remains on top of the disc.
   Solution:

   • It is normal for small pieces to remain; cut the remaining bits by hand and add them to processed ingredients.

5. Problem: Metal 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 the food has loosened, remove the assembly from the water by lifting it from the stem.
   • Holding the stem, place the blade assembly on the countertop and press down on the stem. This should free the blade from the stem. If the blade still cannot be removed, return to warm water and repeat the above steps.

Mixing

1. Problem: Ingredients are not mixing in evenly.
   Solution:

   • Be sure that all ingredients are evenly distributed in the work bowl before mixing in additional ingredients.
   • If ingredients are concentrated in one area/side of the work bowl, mix-ins may not evenly incorporate when using the Mix function.

Dough Kneading

1. Problem: The motor slows down.
   Solution:

   • The amount of dough may exceed the maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
   • The dough may be too wet (see number 8). If the 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, or through the drizzle hole in the pusher, allowing the dry ingredients to absorb it. If too much liquid is added, wait until the ingredients in the work bowl have
     mixed, then add the remaining liquid slowly (do not turn off the machine). Pour liquid onto the dough as it passes under the feed tube opening; do not pour liquid directly onto the bottom of the work bowl.

3. Problem: Blade rises in the workbowl.
   Solution:

   • Excessively sticky dough can cause the blade to rise. Carefully reinsert the 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:

   • The amount of dough may exceed the maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in two batches.
   • The dough may be too dry (see number 7).
   • The dough may be too wet (see number 8).

5. Problem: A 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.

6. Problem: The dough feels tough after kneading.
   Solution:

   • Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute evenly in the bowl. Process for 10 seconds or until uniformly soft and pliable.

7. Problem: The dough is too dry.
   Solution:

   • While the machine is running, add water, 1 tablespoon
     at a time, until the dough cleans the inside of the bowl.

8. Problem: The dough is too wet.
   Solution:

   • While the machine is running, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the 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 the processor 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.
   • A safety protector in the motor prevents the motor from overheating, which is caused by excessive strain. Press the Off control button, unplug the unit and wait 20 to 30 minutes to allow the food processor to cool off before resuming.

3. Problem: The motor slows down during operation.
   Solution:

   • This is normal with some heavier loads (e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) that 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.

4. Problem: The food processor vibrates/moves 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 with some heavier loads (e.g., slicing/shredding cheese) that may require the motor to work harder.
