Motor stops: See comments under "Typical Bread Dough Problems and Solutions." Dough doesn't rise: See comments under "Typical Bread Dough Problems and Solutions." The motor stops within seconds when the motor is turned off, and a fast-stop circuit stops it instantly when the pusher assembly is removed. Cuisinart offers a Limited Three-Year Warranty on the entire machine. Always insert chopping 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. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Keep your food processor ready to use on a kitchen counter. When not in use, leave it unplugged. Store the blade and discs as you would sharp knives, out of the reach of children. The disc and blade holders are optional accessories which offer safe and convenient storage. Always remove work bowl from base of machine before you remove chopping blade. Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl. Remove blade before tilting bowl, or hold it in place with your finger, a spatula or a spoon. TECHNICAL DATA 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 and work bowl cover on the bottom rack of your dishwasher may cause damage over time. Insert the work bowl upside down. Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully wherever you place the sharp blade and discs. The motor in your food processor operates on standard line operating current. The appropriate voltage and frequency for your machine are shown on the lower housing under the base. An automatic, temperature-controlled circuit breaker in the motor ensures complete protection against motor burnout. If the processor runs for an exceptionally long time when chopping, mixing or kneading a thick or heavy mixture in successive batches, the motor may overheat. If this happens, the processor will stop. Turn it off and wait for the motor to cool before proceeding. It will usually cool within 10 minutes. In extreme cases, it could take an hour. Safety switches prevent the machine from operating when the work bowl or the cover is not locked into position. To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher assembly and blade or disc immediately after use, so food won't dry on them. Openings at the bottom of the large pusher provide drainage and make cleaning easy. If food lodges in the pusher, remove it by running water through it, or use a bottle brush. If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do it carefully. 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 plastic, which is shatter resistant and heat resistant. 17
