ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use
Before using your Cuisinart Elite Collection
™
14-Cup Food Processor for the first time, wash
all of the work bowls, work bowl cover, pusher
assembly, blades, discs, and spatula (see
Cleaning Instructions on page 15).
1. Place the food processor base on a dry,
level countertop with the controls facing
toward you. Do not plug the unit in until it
is fully assembled.
Note: To use the medium bowl, it must
be nested into the large bowl. The small
bowl must be nested in the medium,
with the medium in the large for
operation.
2. With the large bowl on the base, use
the handle to turn the work bowl
counterclockwise to lock it onto the
housing base.
To use the medium bowl, place your
thumbs in the finger recesses and align in
the large bowl with the pour spout facing
the back of the unit. Push down to lock.
To use the small bowl, place your thumbs
in the finger recesses and align the medium
bowl with the pour spout facing opposite
the handle. Push down to lock.
Blade Operation
The BladeLock feature is designed to
keep the blade in place during processing,
pouring, lifting, and handling tasks – but is
not permanently attached. Handle with
care. Always check to be sure the blade
is securely locked before turning the
bowl upside down.
Note: The chopping/mixing blades
should not be removed with liquid
contents above the hub of the blade in
the bowls, as this will defeat the
SealTight
™
system.
Large Blade Operation
3.
With your medium and/or large work bowl
assembled on the base, grasp the large
chopping/mixing blade by its hub, align it
over the center of the bowl, place it onto
the shaft and turn it until it slides into
place. Firmly push down to lock.
Always
check to be sure the blade is securely
locked before turning the bowl upside
down.
(To remove, first take the bowl off
the base and put it on a flat surface. Rest
the heel of your hand on the rim of the
bowl and pull up gently and carefully.)
Dough Blade Operation
4. For use with the large bowl. Carefully lift
and place the dough blade on the shaft
and turn it until it slides into place.
Small Blade Operation
5. With all three work bowls assembled on the
base, position the stem adapter over the
center of the bowls, place it on the shaft
and turn it until it slides into place. Grasp
the small chopping/mixing blade by its hub,
place it on the stem adapter, turning it until
it slides into place, and push down firmly to
lock. Always check to be sure the blade
is securely locked before turning the
bowl upside down.
(To remove, first take
the bowl off the base and put it on a flat
surface. Rest the heel of your hand on the
rim of the bowl and pull up gently and
carefully.)
Disc Operation
6. When using your medium and/or large bowl
only, position the stem adapter over the
center of the bowl, place it on the shaft and
turn it until it slides into place. If using the
adjustable slicing disc, use the rotating hub
and indicator markings to select slicing
thickness. Using the finger holes, align and
insert the disc over the stem adapter.
