IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Always follow these safety
precautions when using this appli-
ance.
Getting Ready
1. Read all instructions.
2. Blades are sharp. Handle them
carefully.
3. Unplug from outlet when not in
use, before putting on or taking off
parts 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 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. Do not use pusher assembly if
sleeve becomes detached from
pusher.
2. Keep hands as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from
moving blades or discs while pro-
cessing food, to prevent
possibility of severe personal
injury or damage to food processor.
A plastic scraper may be used but
must be used only when food
processor motor is stopped.
3. Avoid contact with moving
parts. Never push food down by
hand when slicing or shredding.
Always use pusher.
4. Make sure motor has
completely stopped before
removing cover. (If machine
does not stop within 4 seconds
when you turn cover, call
1-800-726-0190 for assistance.
Do not use machine).
5. 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.
6. Be sure cover is securely
locked in place before operating
food processor.
7. Do not try to override cover
interlock mechanism.
Cleaning
To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not put base in water or
other liquid.

shock, personal injury or damage
to your food processor.
5. To avoid possible malfunction

NOTICE
This appliance 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.

when mixing hot, thin liquids
such as soups or sauces. If you
do, it is possible that hot liquid

ding, julienne, French
fry-cut or fine grater discs with

expose the user to injury.
3. Although the Cuisinart
®

compatible with machines from
other manufacturers, using the
cover with other machines may be
dangerous and may expose the
user to injury. We specifically cau-
tion you not to use the Compact
Cover with other
brand machines.
