CLEANING, STORAGE AND

MAINTENANCE

Keep your Cuisinart Elite Collection

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 safekeeping of blades and discs.

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 of the

seal. (Note: The seal is not removable and water

will drain properly.) 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,

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, run faucet water

pressure directly through the holes in the cover

while pushing up and down on the rubber seal.

If you wash blades and discs by hand, do it

carefully. When handling, use the plastic hubs

on the blades and the discs. 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 it rapidly up and down

on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray

attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a

brush.

The work bowl is made of durable plastic that is

shatter resistant and heat resistant. It should not

be placed in a microwave oven, as the aperture

at the front of the pusher houses the metal rod

that activates the motor.

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 a 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 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 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

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 work bowl from base of machine

before you remove chopping blade or dough

blade.
