The metal blade chops raw and cooked fruits,
vegetables, meat, fish and cheese to the exact
consistency you want from coarse to fine, even
to a purée. You control the texture. It chops nuts,
makes nut butters, mayonnaise and sauces, and
mixes tender, flaky pastry. The metal blade also
mixes cakes, frosting, cookies, quick breads,
muffins and biscuits.
The dough blade mixes and kneads more
efficiently than the metal blade when your recipe
calls for more than 31
2cups of flour. A locking
device prevents heavy dough from driving the
blade up on the shaft.
The medium slicing disc makes beautiful whole
slices. It slices whole fruits and vegetables,
cooked meat, semi-frozen raw meat and thin
loaves of bread.
The medium shredding disc processes most
firm and hard cheese into long, attractive shreds.
It also shreds vegetables like potatoes, carrots
and zucchini, and processes nuts and chocolate
to a grated texture.
The detachable stem fits all discs, making
storage easy in limited space.
The pusher assembly has 3 parts:
1. The small removable white pusher fits into the
small feed tube. This tube is for narrow food
like carrots, for adding liquid, and for continu-
ous feeding of small hard food like garlic.
2. The large pusher is permanently attached to
the sleeve, but moves freely within it except
when the slide lock on the sleeve is locked in
place over the large feed tube.
3. The bottom sleeve has two descending tabs.
One locks the sleeve to the work bowl (white
lock); the other pushes down an activating rod
at the back of the bowl, permitting the motor
to start.

align it with the raised plastic crescent on the
disc underside. The raised ‘lock’ indicator on
the left corner of the stem should be to the left
of the mounting plate on disc.
3. Turn the stem to the right, so the locking tabs
are covered by the metal supports and a ‘click’
locks the stem in place.
4. With the stem facing down, place the assembly
over the center hub. It should fit snugly and rest
on the bottom of the work bowl.
5. Place work bowl cover onto work bowl, with
the handle area just to the left of center.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Practice chopping some foods such as a zucchini
or potato before you process food to eat. First, cut
the ingredients into 1-inch pieces of even size
and length.
Place the work bowl over the center stem and
turn counterclockwise to lock in place.
Insert the metal chopping blade and put
ingredient pieces in the work bowl. Put on the
cover and turn counterclockwise to lock onto
work bowl. Align the pusher and the pusher’s
activating rod with the corresponding openings
on the feed tube, and push all the way down.
Press and release the PULSE button two or
three times. Each time the blade stops, let the
pieces drop to the bottom of the bowl before
you pulse again. This puts them in the path of
the blade each time the motor starts.
Using the pulse/chopping technique, you get
an even chop without overprocessing. Check
7
the texture frequently by looking through the
cover. If you want a finer chop, press and
release the PULSE button until you achieve
the desired texture. Onions and other food with
a high water content will quickly end up as a
purée unless examined through the work bowl
after each pulse to make sure they are not
overprocessed.
Try chopping other food like meat for hamburger
or sausage. Then make mayonnaise, pastry or
bread, as described in the following sections.
To obtain consistent results:
Be sure all the pieces you add to the bowl are
about the same size.
Be sure the amount you process is no larger than
recommended on the inside cover of this booklet.
Before you do anything, wait for the blade to stop
spinning. Once it does, remove the pusher
assembly. Then turn the cover clockwise to unlock
and remove by lifting it off.
Never try to remove the pusher, lid and work bowl
together; as a safety feature, the pusher assembly
must be removed before the lid and work bowl
can be unlocked. They can then both be unlocked
at the same time.
Remove the bowl from the base of the machine
before removing the blade. This creates a seal to
prevent food from leaking. Turn the bowl clock-
wise to unlock from the base, and lift straight up
to remove.
To prevent the blade from falling from the
work bowl onto your hand when emptying the
work bowl, use one of the following methods.
Be sure your hands are dry.
Grab the blade hub, and remove the metal blade
before tilting the bowl, using a spatula to scrape
off any food. Or insert your finger through the hole
in the bottom of the work bowl, gripping the blade
from the bottom, and grip the outside of the work
bowl with your thumb. Or hold the blade in place
with your finger or spatula while pouring out food.
REMOVING
PROCESSED FOOD
Before you do anything, wait for the blade to
stop spinning.
Once it does, remove the cover first. You can
remove the cover and pusher assembly in one
operation. Hold the pusher assembly with your
fingers away from the descending tabs and turn
it clockwise. Lift it off, and the cover will come
with it.
Never try to remove the cover and the work bowl
together; this may damage the work bowl.
Always remove the bowl from the base of the
machine before removing the blade, as the blade
creates a seal to prevent food from leaking.
Turn the bowl clockwise to unlock it from the
base, and lift it straight up to remove.
To prevent the blade from falling out of the
work bowl onto your hand, use one of the
three methods that follows. Be sure your hands
are dry. Remove the metal blade before tilting the
bowl using a spatula to scrape off any food.
Or insert your finger through the hole in the
bottom of the work bowl, gripping the blade from
the bottom, and grip the outside of the work bowl
with your thumb. Or hold the blade in place with
your finger or a spatula while pouring out
processed food.
CHOPPING AND PURÉEING
WITH THE METAL BLADE
To chop raw fruits and vegetables:
Cut the food into 1-inch pieces. You get a
more even chop when all pieces are about the
same size.
Put no more than the recommended amount of
food into the work bowl. (See page 6.) Lock the
cover in place. Press the OFF/PULSE lever at
the rate of 1 second on, 1 second off until the
food is coarsely chopped. Then hold down the
OFF/PULSE lever, letting the machine run contin-
uously until the food is chopped. Check frequently
to avoid overprocessing. Use the spatula to
scrape down any pieces that stick to the sides.
To purée fruit and cooked vegetables:
Cut the food into 1-inch pieces. You get a smooth
purée faster when all pieces are about equal in
size. Put no more than the recommended amount
of food in the work bowl. (See page 6.) Lock the
cover in place. Pulse to chop coarsely, then press
8
the ON lever and process continuously until the
food is puréed. (NOTE: Cooked potatoes are an
exception to this procedure. They develop a gluey
texture when processed with the metal blade.
See the recipe for mashed potatoes at the end
of the book.)
* When making soup, you will want to purée
vegetables that have cooked in liquid. Don’t add
the liquid to the work bowl just the cooked
vegetables; remove them with a slotted spoon.
They will purée faster and smoother without
liquid. Then add just enough liquid to make the
purée pourable, return it to the soup liquid and
stir to combine.
* Occasionally, a piece of food may become
wedged between the blade and the work bowl.
If this happens, remove the cover, lift the blade
out carefully and remove the wedged piece.
Empty the bowl, reinsert the blade and lock
the cover into place, first removing the small
pusher. Press the ON lever and drop the food
pieces through the small feed tube while the
machine is running. After adding a cupful this
way, add the remaining food to the bowl and
process in the usual way.
To chop hard food like garlic, hard cheese:
Small foods like garlic can be dropped in whole.
Larger foods like hard cheese should be cut into
1-inch pieces. Remove the small pusher, press
the ON lever and drop the food through the small
feed tube while the machine is running.
This method of processing minces garlic, shallots
and onions. Hard cheese and coconut will have
the same texture as if they had been hand grated.
IMPORTANT: Never try to process cheese that is
too hard to cut with a knife. You may damage the
blade or the machine.
To chop parsley and other fresh herbs:
The herbs, the work bowl and the metal blade
must all be thoroughly clean and dry. Remove
stems from herbs. Add leaves to bowl and
process until they are chopped as fine as you
want. The more herbs you chop at a time, the
finer chop you can obtain. If completely dry when
chopped, parsley and other herbs will keep for at
least 10 days, stored in an airtight bag in the
refrigerator. They may be frozen for months,
stored in an airtight container or bag.
To chop peel from citrus fruit (zest):
To chop sticky fruit like dates or raisins:
For citrus, remove only the peel (zest) with a
vegetable peeler. Do not remove the white pith,
which is bitter tasting. Cut the peel into lengths of
2 inches or less and process with 1
2cup of
granulated sugar from the recipe until finely
chopped. This may take 2 minutes or longer.
For sticky fruit like dates, raisins, prunes and
candied fruit, first freeze the fruit for about
10 minutes. Add to it some of the flour called for
in the recipe. Use no more than 1 cup of flour for
each cup of fruit.
To chop meat, poultry, and seafood:
The food should be very cold, but not frozen.
Cut it into 1-inch pieces to ensure an even chop.
Process no more than the recommended amount
at a time. (See page 6.) Press the OFF/PULSE
lever 3 or 4 times at a rate of 1 second on,
1 second off. If the food is not chopped fine
enough, let the processor run continuously for a
few seconds. Check the texture often to avoid
overprocessing. Use a spatula to scrape food
from the sides of the bowl as necessary.
To purée meat, poultry, and seafood:
Prepare the food as described above. Pulse until
it is evenly chopped, then process continuously
to the desired texture. Scrape the bowl with a
spatula as needed.
Leave the purée in the work bowl and add eggs,
cream and seasonings as called for by the recipe.
Process to combine thoroughly.
Remember you control texture by the length of
time you process.
To chop nuts:
Chop no more than the recommended amount
at one time. (See page 6.) Press and release
the OFF/PULSE lever and check frequently to
avoid letting powdered nuts clump together in a
nut butter.
When a recipe calls for flour or sugar, add some
to the nuts before you chop them— about 1
2cup
for each cup of nuts. This allows you to chop the
9
nuts as fine as you want without turning them into
a nut butter.
You can also chop nuts with a shredding disc. The
optional Fine Shredding Disc is particularly good.
To make peanut butter and other nut butters:
Process up to the recommended amount of nuts.
(See page 6.) Let the machine run continuously.
After 2 or 3 minutes, the ground nuts will form a
ball that will gradually smooth out. Scrape the
sides of the bowl and continue processing until
drops of oil are visible. Taste for consistency.
The longer you process, the softer the butter
will be. For chunk style, add a handful of nuts
just after the ball of nut butter begins to smooth
out. To make cashew butter, add a little bland
vegetable oil. Processor nut butters contain no
preservatives. Store in the refrigerator to keep
them from separating.
To make flavored butter, spreads and dips:
Cut room-temperature butter into tablespoon-size
pieces and reserve. Process flavoring ingredients
first—anchovies, cheese, herbs, etc.—chopping
them fine. Be sure the work bowl is clean and
dry. Then add small hard ingredients like garlic
and hard cheese through the feed tube while
the machine is running. Next, add the butter
pieces and process until smooth. Add any liquid
ingredients last, while the processor is running,
and process just long enough to blend. Process
ingredients for spreads and dips in the same way.
All ingredients should be at room temperature and
cut into 1-inch cubes, or added by tablespoonfuls.
To make mayonnaise:
The work bowl and metal blade must be clean
and dry. Use one large whole egg, or the yolks
from two large eggs. Mayonnaise made from
yolks will be almost as thick as butter. You should
be able to add 2
3cup of oil for each yolk or 114
cups for a whole egg.
Process the yolks or egg with salt, mustard and
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for at least
30 seconds. Then, while the machine is running,
pour 1
4cup of oil into the small pusher. After it
dribbles through the pinhole at the bottom,
remove the small pusher and slowly add the
remaining oil while the machine runs. See the
recipe on page 30.
To beat egg whites:
The work bowl and metal blade must be
absolutely clean. Add 3 or more egg whites and
press the ON lever. Add about 1 teaspoon of
lemon juice or vinegar for every egg white.
Vinegar makes stiffer whites; its flavor is hardly
detectable in cakes or soufflés. Continue process-
ing until the egg whites hold their shape about
11
2to 212minutes.
To whip cream:
Processor-whipped cream holds its shape very
well. It is good for decoration or as a topping for
gingerbread, berries and other desserts.
Chill the cream well before starting. Using the
metal blade, process continuously until it begins
to thicken; add sugar as desired and continue
processing. Watch carefully until the cream
reaches the desired consistency. For consistently
reliable results, add 2 tablespoons of nonfat dried
milk for every cup of cream, before whipping.
Processor-whipped cream does not whip to the
light, fluffy consistency obtained by methods
that beat in more air. Use the optional Whisk
Attachment for the fluffiest whipped cream.
To make bread, cracker and cookie crumbs
and crumb crusts:
Cut or break bread, crackers or cookies into
1-inch pieces and put them in the work bowl.
Process continuously until they reach the desired
texture. For seasoned crumbs, chop parsley or
other fresh herbs with the crumbs. For buttered
crumbs, process until the dry crumbs are of the
desired texture, then dribble melted butter through
the small feed tube while the machine is running.
For crumb crusts, process crackers or cookies as
described above. Add sugar, spices and butter,
cut into 1-inch pieces, as specified by your recipe.
Process until well combined.
To make pastry:
This describes the general procedure. A recipe
giving exact proportions is on page 32.
Combine unbleached all-purpose flour, salt and
1-inch pieces of very cold butter in the work bowl.
Process to the consistency of cornmeal. While the
machine is running, pour ice water through the
feed tube. Stop processing as soon as the dough
10
begins to form a ball, to ensure tender, flaky
pastry. Use the dough immediately or form it into
a round disc about 1-inch thick. Wrap it in plastic
wrap and refrigerate or freeze for later use.
To make quick breads, and cakes that use
baking powder and/or soda:
The most important rule for success is not to
overmix after the flour is added. The ingredients
for these soft doughs should be cold. If the recipe
calls for chopped ingredients like lemon peel
or nuts, chop them first while the work bowl is
clean and dry. Then set them aside until needed.
(Always use sugar when chopping lemon peel;
see page 9.)
Put dry ingredients like flour, salt and leavening in
the work bowl and process with the metal blade
for 5 seconds to mix them. Remove and reserve
the dry ingredients.
Add the eggs and sugar to the work bowl and
process to mix, letting the machine run about
1 minute. Next, add 1-inch pieces of butter,
at room temperature. Let the machine run
continuously for a minute, until the butter is
thoroughly mixed with the sugar and eggs.
Then add flavoring and liquid vanilla, spices,
cocoa, etc. Process until mixed. Add the dry
ingredients to the work bowl. Process by pulsing,
inspecting after each pulse. Stop pulsing as soon
as the dry ingredients have almost disappeared
into the batter. Overprocessing will cause quick
breads and cakes to be tough. (If your recipe calls
for ingredients that are to be coarsely chopped
like raisins or nuts – add them last with the mixed
dry ingredients.)
To make cake mix:
Your food processor work bowl is large enough
for the preparation of an 18.5-ounce packaged
cake mix.
Insert the metal blade and add the cake mix to the
work bowl. While the machine is running, add the
eggs and liquid through the small feed tube and
process for 5 seconds. Scrape down the side of
the work bowl and process again for 1 minute for
maximum volume. Remove the work bowl from
the base but do not remove the metal blade.
Insert your finger into the underside of the blade
from the bottom of the work bowl to hold the blade
in place while emptying the batter.
Tip:
After emptying cake batter or puréed soup from
the work bowl, replace the bowl on the motor
base. Insert the metal blade and pulse once.
Centrifugal force will spin the batter off the blade
onto the side of the work bowl. Remove the blade,
and use the spatula to scrape any remaining
batter from the bowl.
KNEADING YEAST DOUGH
WITH THE DOUGH BLADE
The Deluxe 11Food Processor can mix and
knead dough in a fraction of the time it takes to do
it by hand. You will get perfect results every time if
you follow these directions. NEVER TRY TO
PROCESS DOUGH THAT IS TOO STIFF TO
KNEAD COMFORTABLY BY HAND.
There are two general types of yeast dough.
1. Typical bread dough is made with a flour
mix that contains at least 50% white flour.
It is uniformly soft, pliable and slightly sticky
when properly kneaded. It always cleans the
inside of the work bowl completely when
properly kneaded.
2. Typical sweet dough contains a higher
proportion of sugar, butter and/or eggs than
typical bread dough. It is rich and sticky, and it
does not clean the inside of the work bowl. It
requires less kneading after the ingredients
are mixed. Although 30 seconds is usually
sufficient, 60 to 90 seconds gives better
results if the machine does not slow down.
Except for kneading, described below, the
processing procedures are the same for both
types of dough.
Machine capacity
Typical bread dough:
5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups whole-grain flour
Typical sweet dough:
31
2cups all-purpose flour
11
If a bread dough recipe calls for more than the
recommended amount of flour, mix and knead it in
equal batches.
Using the right blade:
Use the plastic dough blade when the recipe calls
for more than 31
2cups of flour. Use the metal
blade when a recipe calls for less than 31
2cups of
flour. Because the dough blade does not extend to
the outside rim of the work bowl, it cannot pick up
all the flour when small amounts are processed.
Whichever blade you use, always push it down as
far as it will go on the motor shaft.
Measuring the flour:
It’s best to weigh it. If you don’t have a scale, or
the recipe doesn’t specify weight, measure by
the “stir, scoop and sweep” method (follows). Use
a standard, graduated dry measure, not a cup
for liquid ingredients.
To “stir, scoop and sweep”: With a spoon or fork,
stir the flour in its container. With the dry mea-
sure, scoop up the flour so it overflows. With a
spatula, knife or chopstick— being careful not to
press down — sweep excess flour back into the
container so the top of the measure is level.
Proofing the yeast:
The expiration date is marked on the packages.
To be sure your yeast is active, dissolve it in a
small amount of warm liquid (about 13cup for one
package of dry yeast). The temperature of
liquids used to dissolve and activate yeast must
be between 105°F and 120°F. Yeast cells are not
activated at temperatures lower than this, and
they die when exposed to temperatures higher
than 130°F. If the recipe includes a sweetener
like sugar or honey, add a tablespoon with the
yeast. If no sweetener is called for, add a pinch.
The yeast won’t foam without it. Let the mixture
stand until it foams — up to 10 minutes.
Processing dry ingredients:
Put the flour and other dry ingredients in the work
bowl. If the recipe calls for herbs, oil or solid fats
like butter, add them with the flour. Turn the
machine on, and let it run for about 20 seconds.
Adding liquids:
All liquid should be added through the feed tube
while the machine is running. Add liquid in a slow,
steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients
absorb it. If liquid sloshes or splatters, stop
adding it but do not turn off machine. Wait until
ingredients in bowl have mixed, then add
remaining liquid slowly. Pour liquid onto dough
as it passes under feed tube opening. Do not
pour liquid directly onto bottom of bowl.
Follow the recipe carefully. It is important to add
enough liquid to make the dough soft enough to
knead. Kneading dough that is too stiff can strain
the machine.
All liquid except that used to activate yeast should
be cold, to minimize the possibility of overheating
the dough. You must never knead a yeast dough
to a temperature higher than 100°F. Doing so will
slow or even prevent the action of the yeast.
Kneading bread dough:
Do not try to use the machine to knead dough that
is too stiff to knead comfortably by hand. Doing so
can strain the machine.
Kneading typical bread dough:
After the dough starts to clean the inside of the
work bowl completely and forms a ball, process it
for 60 seconds to knead it. Stop the machine and
test the dough to be sure it’s properly kneaded.
Typical bread dough should have a soft, pliable
texture and it should feel slightly sticky. Stretch
the dough with your hands to test it. If it feels
hard, lumpy or uneven, continue processing until
it feels uniformly soft and pliable. Make sure that
the blade is firmly pressed back into place after
removing the dough to test it.
Kneading typical sweet dough:
Process dough for at least 30 seconds after all
the ingredients are incorporated. It will not clean
the inside of the work bowl. If necessary, scrape
the bowl and process for 5 more seconds.
Adding other ingredients:
Cheese, nuts and raisins may be added with the
dry ingredients or during the final kneading.
To leave them almost whole, add them through
the feed tube 5 seconds before you stop
kneading. For a finer texture, add them with
the dry ingredients.
Rising:
Put the dough in a large, lightly floured plastic
12
food storage bag. Squeeze out the air and close
the bag, allowing space for the dough to rise. Or
put the ball of dough in a large bowl coated with
soft butter or vegetable oil. Roll the dough around
to coat its entire surface. Cover it with a damp
towel or a piece of oiled plastic wrap.
Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place — about
80°F. The rising time is usually about 11
2hours
but will vary from 45 minutes to several hours,
depending on the type of flour and the humidity
of the air. To test if the dough has risen enough,
stick your finger in it. An indentation should
remain. If it doesn’t, let the dough rise more and
test again. When it has risen enough, punch the
dough down. It is now ready to shape.
Shaping, finishing and baking:
If you shape the dough in loaf pans, coat them
with vegetable oil cooking spray and fill them only
half full. Let rise until dough is just slightly above
the top of the pan. If shaping free-form loaves, let
them rise on an oiled baking sheet until at least
doubled in bulk.
Making consecutive batches:
You can make several batches of bread dough
in a row.
The motor in the Deluxe 11Food Processor is
extremely efficient. Follow the recipe for White
Bread, page 30.
BREAD DOUGH PROBLEMS
AND SOLUTIONS
Problems and Solutions with Bread Doughs
Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients:
Always start processor before adding liquid. Add
liquid in slow, steady stream, only as fast as dry
ingredients absorb it. If you hear liquid sloshing,
stop adding it but do not turn off machine. Instead,
wait until ingredients in work bowl have mixed,
then add remaining liquid slowly. Pour liquid onto
dough as it passes under feed tube; do not pour
liquid directly onto bottom of work bowl.
Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients:
Butter or margarine, if not melted, must be cut
into tablespoon-size pieces before being added to
work bowl.
Blade rises in work bowl:
Blade may not have been pushed down as far as
it will go before processing started. Machine may
be overloaded. Stop it, remove half the dough and
process in 2 batches. Excessively sticky dough
can cause blade to rise even though it cleans
inside of work bowl. If dough feels very sticky,
reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons
flour through feed tube while machine is running.
Dough doesn’t clean inside of work bowl:
Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in 2 batches. See page 6 for
machine capacity.
Dough may be too dry. If it feels crumbly, add
water 1 tablespoon at a time while machine
is running, until dough becomes moist and
cleans inside of work bowl. Wait 10 seconds
between additions of water.
Dough may be too wet. While machine is
running, add 1 tablespoon of flour. If necessary,
add more 1 tablespoon at a time until dough
cleans inside of work bowl and forms a ball.
Plastic dough blade is intended only for recipes
calling for at least 31
2cups of flour. If your recipe
calls for less flour, remove plastic dough blade
and insert metal blade. Always use metal blade
for recipes calling for less than 31
2cups of flour,
such as pizza dough.
Nub of dough forms on top of blade and does
not become uniformly kneaded:
Stop machine, carefully remove dough, divide it
into 3 pieces and redistribute them evenly in work
bowl. Make sure that blade is firmly pressed
back into place after removing the dough.
Continue processing until dough is uniformly
soft and pliable.
Dough feels tough after kneading:
Divide dough into 2 or 3 pieces and redistribute
evenly in bowl. Process 10 seconds or until
uniformly soft and pliable.
Soft dough or liquid leaks onto base of
food processor:
Always start processor before adding liquid and
add liquid only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it.
13
Motor stops:
If using large feed tube cover, the pusher
assembly may have come unlocked. Push down
pusher sleeve to lock it into place and continue
processing.
Cover may have come unlocked. Lock cover and
continue processing.
Power cord may be unplugged.
Excessive strain may have caused motor to
overheat and stop. Wait for the motor to cool,
5–10 minutes. A safety protector in the motor
protects it against excessive overheating. If the
motor stops, turn the machine off. After 5–10
minutes, divide dough into 2 batches and
complete processing. Pinch dough to make sure
it is not too stiff to knead comfortably by hand.
If it is, add liquid 1 teaspoon at a time until
dough is sufficiently moist to clean bowl.
Dough doesn’t rise:
We recommend that you always test activity of
yeast before using it. See instructions for proofing
yeast on page 12. Do not use dry yeast after
expiration date on package.
Avoid killing yeast cells by dissolving yeast in
water that is too warm. Dissolve yeast in about
1
3cup of warm liquid at 105°–120°F. All other
liquid should be cold.
Don’t knead so long that dough becomes over-
heated. The ideal temperature for kneaded dough
is 80°F; it should never exceed 110°F .
Let dough rise in draft-free environment of about
80°–90°F.
Dough containing whole grain flour will take
longer to rise than dough made of white flour only.
Baked bread too heavy
Next time, feel dough to be sure it is uniformly
soft, pliable and slightly sticky before setting it
aside to rise. Let dough fully double in bulk in
bowl or bag, punch it down, then let it double
again after it is shaped.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS WITH TYPICAL
SWEET DOUGHS
Motor slows down:
Amount of dough may exceed maximum
capacity of your food processor. Remove half
and process in 2 batches.
Don’t process too long after all the ingredients
are incorporated. These rich doughs will
give you good results after only 30 seconds
of kneading.
PREPARING FOOD FOR
SLICING AND SHREDDING
Round fruits and vegetables:
Before processing onions, apples and other large,
round fruits and vegetables, trim them with a
knife. Cut the bottom ends flat, to make the food
lie stable on the disc.
Place the food in the feed tube, flat side down.
Position it as far left as possible, to prevent it from
tilting when being processed.
Choose fruits that are firm and not too ripe.
Always remove large hard pits and seeds from
fruits before processing. Seeds from citrus fruits
need not be removed. You may remove the rind
before slicing or shredding, or leave the rind on.
Whole peppers are an exception:
Remove the stem and cut the stem end flat.
Remove the core and scoop out the seeds.
Leave the end opposite the stem whole, to keep
the structure stiff. This ensures round, even slices.
Large fruits like pineapple and cantaloupe:
Cut them in half and remove the seeds or core.
If necessary, cut the halves into smaller pieces to
fit the feed tube. Remember to cut the ends flat.
Cabbage and iceberg lettuce:
Turn the head on its side and slice off the top and
bottom, leaving a center section about
3 inches deep. Remove the core and cut the
center section into wedges to fit the feed tube.
Remove the core from the bottom piece and cut
it and the top piece into wedges to fit the feed
tube. The 4mm Slicing Disc or the optional 1mm
Slicing Disc are excellent for slicing cabbage
for coleslaw.
If the fruit or vegetable doesn’t fit:
Try inserting it from the bottom of the feed tube.
The opening there is slightly larger. Do not force
any food into the feed tube.
14
Pack the feed tube for desired results:
For long slices or shreds, cut the food into feed
tube widths and pack the pieces horizontally.
For small, round slices or short shreds from
carrots, zucchini and other long vegetables, cut
them into feed tube heights and pack them
tightly upright.
Food should fit snugly, but not so tight that it
prevents the pusher from moving.
When slicing or shredding food, always use the
pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into
the feed tube.
Never push down hard on the pusher. Use light
pressure for soft fruits and vegetables like
bananas, mushrooms, strawberries and tomatoes,
and for all cheese. Use medium pressure for
most food apples, celery, citrus fruit, potatoes
and zucchini. Use firm pressure for really hard
vegetables like carrots and yams.
PRACTICING SLICING AND
SHREDDING
1. Insert a slicing or shredding disc, put the cover
with large feed tube on the work bowl and
insert the prepared food in the feed tube.
2. Prepare the pusher assembly. Lock the small
pusher in place and unlock the slide lock on
the sleeve, so the pusher can move up and
down freely.
3. Slide the pusher assembly over the feed tube
and push the sleeve down to lock it into place.
Apply pressure to the pusher while pressing
down the OFF/PULSE lever. Release the lever
as soon as the food is sliced or shredded.
4. You can load the feed tube repeatedly without
removing the work bowl cover. Simply grasp
the pusher assembly with your fingers on the
wide locking tab at the back of the sleeve.
Press firmly on the tab and lift up. The pusher
assembly will come off easily, leaving the cover
and feed tube in place. Your other hand is free
to reload the feed tube.
REMOVING SLICED OR
SHREDDED FOOD
Before you do anything, wait for the disc to
stop spinning:
When it does, remove the cover first. Hold the
pusher assembly with your fingers away from
the locking tabs on back and turn it clockwise.
Lift, and the pusher assembly and cover will
come off together.
Remove the slicing or shredding disc before
removing the work bowl. Place two fingers under
each side of the disc and lift it straight up.
Then turn the bowl clockwise to unlock it from
the base, and lift it straight up to remove it.
You can place the disc on top of the inverted work
bowl cover, to minimize drips and spills.
SLICING AND SHREDDING
TECHNIQUES
Small, round fruits and vegetables:
For large berries, radishes and mushrooms, trim
the ends flat with a knife. Insert the food through
the feed tube, standing each piece on a flat end.
You can fill the tube to about 1 inch from the
top. The bottom layer gives you perfect slices
for garnish.
If you want all the slices to be perfect, it’s best to
process one layer at a time.
Long fruits and vegetables:
Trim foods like bananas, celery and zucchini by
cutting them into pieces a little shorter than the
feed tube. Cut both ends flat. (Use a ruler as a
guide, or the pusher assembly with the pusher
pulled out as far as it will go.)
Fill the feed tube with the pieces, standing them
vertically and adding enough pieces so they are
solidly packed and cannot tilt sideways as they
are sliced or shredded.
Small amounts of food:
Use the small feed tube and the small pusher.
Remove the small pusher from the pusher
assembly. Slide the pusher assembly over the
feed tube and press the sleeve down to lock it
15
into place. Be sure the slide lock on the sleeve
is locked.
Cut the food into lengths a little shorter than the
feed tube. If you are slicing one or two long, thin
vegetables like carrots, push them against the
right. If you are slicing a few vegetables that are
wide at one end and narrow at the other—carrots,
celery or scallions—cut them in half and pack in
pairs, one wide end up, one narrow end up.
French-cut green beans:
Trim fresh green beans to feed-tube widths.
Blanch them for 60 seconds in boiling salted
water. Plunge them immediately into cold water
to stop the cooking. When they are cold to the
touch, drain and dry them. Stack them in the feed
tube horizontally to about 1 inch from the top.
Use the standard 4mm Slicing Disc.
Be sure the small pusher is locked and the slide
lock in the sleeve is unlocked. Apply light pressure
to the pusher and press the lever down to PULSE
until beans are sliced. To make long, horizontal
slices or shreds of raw zucchini or carrots, use the
same procedure.
Matchsticks or julienne strips:
Process the food twice to “double-slice” it. Insert
any large fruit or vegetable — potatoes, turnips,
zucchini, apples in the feed tube horizontally.
Apply pressure to the pusher while pressing the
lever down to PULSE until the food is sliced.
You will get long slices. Remove the slices from
the work bowl and reassemble them as shown.
Reinsert them in the feed tube, wedging them in
tightly. Slice them again. You will obtain long
julienne strips. With the optional Square Julienne
Discs, you can make square julienne strips in
one operation.
SLICING MEAT
AND POULTRY
Cooked meat and poultry:
The food must be very cold. If possible, use a
chunk of food just large enough to fit the feed
tube. To make julienne strips of ham, bologna or
luncheon meat, stack slices of them. Then roll or
fold them double and stand them upright in the
feed tube, wedging in as many rolls as possible.
This technique works better with square or
rectangular pieces than with round ones.
Uncooked meat and poultry:
Cut the food into pieces to fit the feed tube.
Boned, skinned chicken breasts will usually fit
when cut in half crosswise. Wrap the pieces in
plastic wrap and put them in the freezer. They are
ready to slice when they pass this “knife test”:
they are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife
although semi-frozen and hard to the touch. Stand
them in the feed tube, cut side down, and slice
them against the grain, using firm pressure on
the pusher. Or lay them flat in the feed tube, as
many as will fit, and slice with the grain, using
firm pressure.
Frankfurters, salami and other sausages:
If the sausage is soft, freeze it until it is firm to the
touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp
knife. Hard sausages need not be frozen. If the
sausage is thin enough to fit in the small feed
tube, use that tube. Otherwise, cut the sausage
into pieces to fit the large feed tube completely.
Stand the pieces vertically, packing them in tightly
so they cannot tilt sideways.
SLICING AND
SHREDDING CHEESE
Firm Cheeses like Swiss and Cheddar:
Cut the cheese into pieces to fit the feed tube. Put
it in the freezer until it is semi-frozen—firm to the
touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp
knife. Stand the pieces in the feed tube and apply
light pressure to the pusher.
IMPORTANT: Never try to slice soft cheese
like mozzarella or hard cheese like Parmesan.
You may damage the slicing disc or the food
processor itself. You can successfully shred most
cheeses except for the softer ones. The exception
is mozzarella, which shreds well if thoroughly
chilled. Hard cheeses like Parmesan shred well
only at room temperature.
Therefore, only attempt to shred mozzarella or
Parmesan when at the appropriate temperature,
otherwise the cheeses will not shred well or
damage to the machine could occur.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
Most problems with the food processor are easily
solved. Provided are some possible problems and
their solutions.
Food is unevenly chopped:
Do not process too much food at one time. Food
should be in uniform pieces. Pulse several times
and the run continuously.
Liquid leaks from bottom of bowl onto
motor base:
Remove bowl from base as soon as you finish
processing. Do not remove metal blade first.
When bowl and blade are removed together,
blade drops down and forms an almost perfect
seal against the bowl.
Liquid leaks out between bowl and cover
when machine is running:
You added too much liquid. Never use more than
23
4cups thin or 5 cups thick liquid.The thicker the
liquid, the more you can use. Examples of thick
liquids include pancake or cake batter.
Slices are uneven or slanted:
Pack feed tube more carefully as described
on pages 14 through 16. Maintain even pressure
on pusher.
Carrots, or similar food, falls over in feed tube:
Cut food into enough short pieces of equal height
to fill feed tube. To slice one or two pieces, use
small feed tube. Cut carrots in half and insert one
piece point down and the other stem down.
Sliced or shredded food piles up on one side
of work bowl:
This is normal. Remove disc occasionally and
even out food. When food gets close to bottom of
disc, empty work bowl.
A few pieces of food remain on top of slicing
or shredding disc:
This is normal. In most cases, you can shred
more of the food by moving the large pusher up
and down, allowing the piece to be shredded, or
by repositioning the piece in the feed tube and
reshredding it.
Soft cheese like mozzarella spreads out and
collects on top of shredding disc:
The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure
on the pusher was too hard. To shred soft cheese,
do not push, rather let the cheese go through by
itself. Tap on the pusher to guide it through.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
Keep your food processor ready to use on
the kitchen counter. When not in use, leave
unplugged. Don’t leave the pusher assembly in
locked position; this could damage the on-off
mechanism.
Store the blades and discs as you would sharp
knives out of the reach of children. The Disc
and Blade Holder (optional accessory) offers safe
and convenient storage.

All parts except the motor base are dishwasher-
safe, and we recommend washing them in the
dishwasher. Insert the work bowl upside down.
Remember where you place sharp blades
and discs, and be certain to unload the
dishwasher carefully.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover,
pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately
after use. Openings at the bottom of the large
pusher provide drainage and make cleaning easy.
If food lodges in the pusher, remove it by running
through water, or use a bottle brush.
If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it
carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water
where they may disappear from sight. To clean
the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy
water, hold the blade by its plastic center and
move rapidly up and down on the center shaft of
the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective.
If necessary, use a brush.
The work bowl is made of Lexan®plastic, which is
shatter-resistant and heat-resistant. It should not
be placed in a microwave oven, as the tube at the
back of the bowl houses the metal rod that
activates the motor.
Chopping certain foods may scratch or cloud the
work bowl. Among them are ice, whole spices and
oils, like wintergreen. If you like to prepare your
own spice blends, you may want to keep a sec-
ond bowl just for that purpose.
The base housing is made of a durable, high-
impact resistant plastic. Its smooth surface will
look new for years. Keep a sponge handy as
you work to wipe spills from the base.
Four rubber feet under the base help keep it
stable on most work surfaces even when
processing heavy loads. If the feet leave spots on
the counter, spray them with a spot remover like
Fantastik®or K2-R®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 non-abrasive cleaning powder.
To clean the inside of the detachable stem, slide
the stem release button up as far as it will go and
hold as you run water through the stem.
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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical appliances, a food
processor should be handled with care. Follow
these guidelines to protect you and your family
from misuse that could cause injury.
* Handle metal blade and discs carefully. Their
cutting edges are very sharp.
* Always place discs on flat, stable surface before
connecting detachable stem.
* Never put blade or disc on motor shaft until work
bowl is locked in place.
* Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on
motor shaft as far as it will go.
* Always insert metal blade in work bowl before
putting ingredients in bowl.
* When slicing or shredding food, always use
pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into
feed tube.
* Always wait for blade or disc to stop spinning
before you remove pusher assembly or cover
from work bowl.
* Always remove work bowl from base of machine
before you remove metal blade or dough blade.
* Be careful to prevent metal blade from falling out
of work bowl when emptying bowl. Remove
blade before tilting bowl, or hold it in place with
your finger, a spatula or spoon.
* Never use pusher assembly if sleeve becomes
detached from pusher. Call Cuisinart Customer
Service immediately at 1-800-726-0190.
TECHNICAL DATA
The motor in your food processor operates on
standard line operating current. The appropriate
voltage and frequency for your machine are
shown on a label under 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,
18
the processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for the
motor to cool off before proceeding. It will usually
cool off 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 sec-
onds when the motor is turned off, and a fast-stop
circuit stops it instantly when the pusher assembly
is unlocked.

California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail
store which sells Cuisinart®products of the same
type. The retail store shall then, according to its
preference, either repair the product, refer the
consumer to an independent repair facility,
replace the product, or refund the purchase
price less the amount directly attributable to the
consumer’s prior usage of the product. If either
of the above two options does not result in the
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent
repair facility if service or repair can be
economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the
consumer will be responsible for the reasonable
cost of such service, repair, replacement,
or refund for nonconforming products under
warranty.
California residents may also, according to their
preference, return nonconforming products
directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary,
replacement by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will
be responsible for the cost of the repair,
replacement, and shipping and handling for
such nonconforming products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART®
PRODUCT
Important: If the nonconforming product is to
be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s
Authorized Service Center, please remind the
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center to
ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed,
the product serviced with the correct parts, and
to ensure that the product is still under warranty.

Work through each bag to press dough together
into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Refrigerate
dough for at least 1 hour.
Roll each disk of dough on lightly floured
surface into a circle about 1
8inch thick.
Press into place in pie pan. Use kitchen shears
to trim dough, leaving 1-inch overlap beyond
pan. Fold overlap under and pinch crust to
form decorative edge. Prick bottom and sides
with fork and refrigerate crust for 30 minutes,
or until firm.
Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat oven
to 400°F.
Line pie shell with parchment paper and fill
it with uncooked beans or rice. Bake for
12 minutes. Remove paper, beans or rice.
Prick shell again and bake it 6 minutes longer, or
until it is lightly browned. Remove shell from pan
and let cool on wire rack.
Fruit Tart Variation:
Use a 9-inch tart pan instead of a pie pan.
Bake shell according to above directions.
When cooked shell is thoroughly cool, fill with
about 1 cup of pastry cream (see recipe on
page 35.) Arrange sliced, fresh fruit (kiwi,
peaches, raspberries, etc.) decoratively on
top and serve immediately.
