6. The slicing disc is on the edge of one of the long sides of the
foam block; the shredding disc is on the other side. Two
additional slicing discs are on the edge of one of the short
sides of the foam block. Slide them out of their grooves
WITH GREAT CARE; THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
7. Only the work bowl cover and pusher assembly now remain
in the foam block. Grasp an edge of the work bowl cover and
pull it straight up. The pusher assembly will slide away from
the work bowl and remain in place. Lift it straight up to
remove.
8. Lift out the plastic foam block.
9. Lift out the cardboard frame.
10. The machine base and work bowl with metal blade are at the
bottom of the box. CAREFULLY REMOVE THE METAL
BLADE BY GRASPING THE CENTER WHITE HUB AND
LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADES
AS THEY ARE RAZOR SHARP.
11. Remove the base and bowl together by grasping the plastic
bowl at the top with both hands and lifting the bowl straight
up. Do not rotate the bowl clockwise on the base. This will
cause the bowl to separate from the base.
12. Place the food processor on a counter or table and read
the instructions thoroughly before using the machine.
13. Save the shipping cartons and plastic foam blocks.
You may want to use them at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
The Cuisinart DLC-X Plus features Cuisinart’s world-renowned
food processing technology plus the largest work bowl on the
consumer market. This is the best food processor for the big

heavy-duty motor that handles high volume processing with
ease. The DLC-X Plus is a true workhorse, capable of mixing,
slicing, shredding, and chopping batch after batch of the heaviest
