This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse

the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the

plug in any way.

Maximum rating of 500 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws

the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw

significantly less power.

When using food processor, pulses should be short bursts. Space

the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses.

DO’S AND DON’TS WHEN USING

YOUR BLENDER/FOOD

PROCESSOR

Don’t:

•

Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar or food processor

work bowl.

When using blender, don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring

onto motor base without the blender jar attached.

Do:

•

Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that

stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.

Blender or food processor will not mash potatoes, knead dough, or

beat egg whites.

•

Always use the motor base on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.

Don’t remove blender jar or food processor bowl while unit is on.

Keep the blender jar or food processor cover on while blending.

Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add

remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly

mixed.

Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar

from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.

•

When using either appliance, cut most foods into cubes

approximately ½" to 1" to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all

cheeses into pieces no larger than ½".

Don’t overprocess foods. Blender or food processor will achieve

most desired results in seconds, not minutes.

Don’t overload blender or food processor. If the motor stalls, turn off

immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food; then

continue.

When using blender, use the measured pour lid to measure liquid

ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after

ingredients have been added.

•

Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar or food processor bowl

while the motor is on.

When using either appliance, use a rubber or plastic spatula as

needed, only when the blender is turned OFF. Never use metal

utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar/work bowl or

cutting assembly.

Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by

Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.

Don’t place hands inside the blender jar or food processor bowl

when blender is plugged in.

•

Place blender cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the

cover on.

Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½"

pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool

for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.

•

Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.

After using blender, always remove locking ring, cutting assembly,

and rubber gasket before cleaning.

•

The food processor accessory is not intended to crush ice. This

could damage the chopping blade and will damage work bowl.

•

When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food from

the sides of the blender jar and place it in the center of the blender

jar, over the cutting assembly.

When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts,

spices, etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are

completely dry.

If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar or food

processor work bowl during use, pulse in short bursts.

RAZOR SHARP!

7. To remove cover, unlock it by turning it counterclockwise, then lift it

straight up.

4. Place food to be processed in work bowl. Put cover on work bowl,

with feed tube at about 11 o’clock.

FOOD PROCESSOR OPERATION

Turn the cover clockwise until it fits into position. Cover lock must click

into locked position prior to use. If you have trouble fitting the cover on

the work bowl, turn chopping blade hub slightly and replace cover.

Your SmartPower Duet^®appliance comes with a Food Processor button.

This button is the perfect speed for all your food processing tasks.

Always use this speed when using the food processor. You may also

use the Pulse button with this function for pulse-chopping.

5. The food pusher fits in feed tube with the more rounded side toward

the outside of the bowl. ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD

THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR

SPATULA.

To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled

properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are

locked into place.

6. Plug your SmartPower Duet^®Blender/Food Processor into a wall

outlet. Push the On button and then the Food Processor button to

start chopping or puréeing. It is recommended that one hand be

placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide unit

stability. If the machine doesn’t start, make sure it is plugged in and

the work bowl and cover are locked into place. The food processor

will not start until the collar, work bowl and work bowl lid are locked

into place. Nevertheless, always unplug the unit before placing

hands into the food processor bowl. NOTE: The motor base will

start, but the food processor blade will not turn until assembled

properly.

When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each button

you press.

Press the On button. For continuous operation, press the Food

Processor button. Motor will start if you have followed assembly

instructions.

release control switch. Try it a few times.

food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently through

clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use a plastic spatula

to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside of bowl.

You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of time

you hold the Food Processor button down and the rate at which you

press it. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall

to bottom.

Onions and other food with a high water content turn into a smooth

purée very quickly. Do not over-chop – look at food frequently through

work bowl.

Always use the Food Processor button for pulse-chopping. Never turn

cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

To purée, follow same procedure as for chopping, but let machine run

until food is a smooth purée.

USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX

New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works. You will

quickly get used to its great speed.

Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on page 10.

These are some conditions that affect your results:

1. Remove cover and put food into work bowl. First, cut food into ¾"

pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that

are all the same size.

•

Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.

Put pieces into work bowl with metal blade in place. You can put in

up to 1 cup of food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in

batches.

Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse-chopping.

ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING

2. Put on cover and lock it. Insert pusher. It is recommended that one

hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide

unit stability. Press the On button, press the Pulse button, and the

Food Processor button (to pulse), then release. Repeat two to three

times. Each time blade stops, let food pieces drop to the bottom of

bowl before pulsing again. This ensures that the blade will chop

them at every pulse.

To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through open feed

tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise or dressings.

A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow,

steady stream – useful when making sauces.

When you want to add small pieces of food like cheese, meat or garlic

cloves while machine is running, drop them through open feed tube.

NOTE: The unit has an advanced thermal resettable fuse feature. If the

event of an overload condition the unit will shut down to protect the

motor from overheating. When this happens, to reset the unit, unplug

the blender and let it cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes.

To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients, use a

funnel.

REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD

Before removing processed food, press Off button and wait for blade to

stop spinning. Then remove cover by turning it counterclockwise. Never

try to remove cover and work bowl together; this can damage work

bowl.

Watch what happens to the food. With pulse-chopping technique, you

can get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check texture

by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to overprocess.

It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty

it.

For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.

3. If you want a finer chop or purée, press the On button and then the

Food Processor button and let machine run continuously until the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Here are two ways to prevent it from falling out:

Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it

straight up to remove it from base.

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade.

Carefully remove blade by the plastic hub.

2. Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring out

processed food.

RECIPE TIPS

At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off motor base or hold

the collar at the base and turn the handle of the bowl counterclockwise

and lift blade straight up.

be broken into ½" pieces; process 1 cup at a time on Mix for 10 to 15

seconds. Turn blender off.

1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way.

(See page 10.)

2. Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by side that has the octagon

shape (eight sided) and push rounded side down as far as it will go

on motor shaft.

Crushing Ice

(Blender jar only)

3. Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc with the desired cutting

edge facing up onto the adapter stem. Always handle slicing/

shredding disc by the rim. Never touch sharp cutting blades.

Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press the Ice Crush button,

using short bursts, 10 times or until cubes are the consistency of snow.

Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.

4. Put cover on work bowl, lock it into place by twisting it clockwise

and insert food in feed tube.

Grating Citrus Zest

5. Insert pusher. Use moderate pressure to push down on pusher with

one hand while using your other hand to push the On button, Pulse

button, and hold down the Food Processor button. Slicing and

shredding only take a few seconds.

For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and

dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no

more than 8 strips at a time (zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in

half. Add strips and 1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe) to the blender jar.

Blend on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.

Wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops,

remove cover before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover

and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl.

Grinding Hard Cheese

Cut cheese into ½" pieces. Blend on Food Processor speed for 30

seconds. Turn blender off. For best results, grind no more than 3 ounces

of cheese at a time.

6. Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl. To

remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight

up.

sweetened cream, add sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes

about 1 cup.

Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Rehydrate 1 ounce of sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup boiling water. Allow

to sit for 10 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes and water to

blender jar. Cover and pulse on Food Processor speed 5 times; then run

continuously on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn

puréed tomatoes.

CLEANING AND STORING YOUR

SMARTPOWER^®FOOD PROCESSOR

ATTACHMENT

Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you would

sharp knives – out of the reach of children.

The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding

disc are top-shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your

dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you

place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the dishwasher

carefully.

The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp

cloth. If you wash the 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 should not be placed in a microwave oven.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding

Food

To Prepare for Slicing

To Prepare for Shredding

For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit sideways

in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to about 1 inch from top.

For shorter shreds, stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat

side down (as described in slicing column).

Cut into even lengths about 1 inch shorter than height

of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat

side down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.

Long narrow foods like carrots, celery,

cucumbers, and zucchini

Apples, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes

and other large round fruits and vegetables

Cut one end flat, then cut lengthwise in halves or

quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.

Same as slicing. Place in feed tube sideways for longer

shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.

Slice off top and bottom, leaving center section. Place

in feed tube, flat side down.

Fill feed tube to about 1 inch from top. Use light to

moderate pressure.

Strawberries, mushrooms, radishes and other

small, round fruits and vegetables

Radishes shred well.

Same as slicing.

Cut off top and bottom, leaving center section.Cut

into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core.

Cut top and bottom pieces in similar wedges.

Cabbage, iceberg lettuce

Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.

Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put

in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it

but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp

knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed

tube. Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be

sliced with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast

will usually fit when frozen as described above and

cut in half crosswise.

Uncooked meat and poultry

(8 oz. maximum at one time)

Do not shred.

Chill in freezer for 5 minutes before processing. Cut into

pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed tube and use

light pressure on pusher. Use 4 oz. maximum.

Soft cheeses like mozzarella

Do not slice

Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed

tube and use light pressure on pusher.

Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before

processing. Use 4 oz. maximum.

Medium-hard cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss

Hard cheeses like Parmesan

Do not slice.

Do not shred.
