• Never put stem adapter discs on the stem adapter until the work bowl is locked in place. • Always be sure that the disc is properly in place on the stem adapter. Disc should be level. • When slicing or shredding food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or utensils into feed tube. Only use feed tube pusher provided with the food processor. • Always wait for the disc to stop spinning before you remove the pusher or cover from the work bowl. • Always unplug the food processor before removing food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts. • Always remove work bowl from food processor base before you remove the slicing/shredding disc and slinger disc. • Be careful to prevent the slicing/shredding disc from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove the stem adapter with disc before tilting the work bowl. • Don't use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury. • To remove continuous feed attachment from the housing base, turn the work bowl clockwise to unlock it from the housing base. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Food is sticking to the walls of the continuous feed work bowl. SOLUTION When slicing or shredding, begin processing ingredients in order from the least water content to the most. As the bowl gets wet, some ingredients might adhere to the side of the work bowl. Some examples of lower water content vegetables: cabbage and Brussels sprouts Medium water content: radishes, carrots, celery Higher water content: cucumbers For best results, be sure to trim all items so that they loosely fit in the feed tube. It should take minimal to no effort for items to feed through the tube. Should bowl and/or chute become clogged with food, pause and disassemble to clean work bowl and chute and dry both well. Food is clogging the continuous feed chute. We suggest using the medium slicing/shredding disc. To clear food from the chute, remove the lid from the continuous feed work bowl and then remove the slicing/shredding disc. Use a small spatula to clear food. Note: Foods with a higher water content can be more prone to sticking to the inside walls of the chute. Note: While processing large quantities, chute may have to be cleared periodically. 5
