IMPORTANT 
SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety precautions when using 
this appliance.
Getting Ready
1.  Read all instructions.
2.  Blades and discs are sharp. Handle them 
carefully.
3.  Always unplug from outlet when not in use, 
before putting on or taking off parts, before 
removing food and before cleaning. To 
unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical 
outlet. Never pull cord. 
4.  Do not use outdoors.
5.  Do not let cord hang over edge of table or 
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
6.  Do not operate any appliance with a 
damaged cord or plug, or after appliance has 
been dropped or damaged in any way. Return 
appliance to the nearest authorized service 
facility for examination, repair or electrical or 
mechanical adjustment.
Operation
1.  Keep hands as well as spatulas and other uten-
sils away from moving blades or discs while pro-
cessing food, to prevent the possibility of severe 
personal injury or damage to food processor. A 
plastic scraper may be used, but only when the 
food processor motor is stopped.
2.  Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. 
Never push food down by hand when slicing or 
shredding. Always use pusher.
3.  Make sure motor has completely stopped before 
removing cover. (If machine does not stop within 
4 seconds after you remove the bowl cover 
assembly, call 1-800-762-0190 for assistance. Do 
not use the machine.)
4.  Never store any blade or disc on motor shaft. To 
reduce the risk of injury, no blade or disc should 
be placed on the shaft except when the bowl is 
properly locked in place and the processor is in 
use. Store blades and discs, as you would sharp 
knives, out of reach of children.
5.  Be sure cover and feed tube are securely locked 
in place before operating food processor. 
6.  Never try to override or tamper with cover 
interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
  To protect against risk of electrical shock, do 
not put base in water or other liquids.
General
1.  This appliance should not be used by or near 
children or individuals with certain disabilities.
2.  Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven 
appliance, while under the influence of alcohol or 
other substances that affect your reaction time or 
perception.
3.  This food processor is UL listed for household 
use. Use it only for food preparation as described 
in the accompanying recipe and instruction book. 
Do not use this appliance for anything but its 
intended use.
4.  The use of attachments not recommended or 
sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical 
shock or personal injury, or damage to your 
food processor.
5.  To avoid possible malfunction of work bowl 
switch, never store processor with cover 
assembly in locked position.
6.  Maximum rating of 350 watts is based on attach-
ment that draws greatest current. Other recom-
mended attachments may draw significantly less 
current. 
7.  Do not operate your appliance in an appliance 
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing 
in an appliance garage always unplug the 
unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so 
could create a risk of fire, especially if the appli-
ance touches the walls of the garage or the door 
touches the unit as it closes. 
  NOTICE: If your food processor has a plastic 
case, it has a polarized plug (one blade is wider 
than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug 
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If 
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. 
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
