Equipped with a 1000-watt peak-power motor, this convenient food
processor quickly and easily slices, dices, chops, and purees,
helping to reduce prep time in the kitchen. It supplies a 12-cup
work , plus a 4-cup work that nests inside the bigger
--a versatile two-in-one design that can handle small and
large batches alike. Both s feature durable polycarbonate
construction, measurement marks up the side, and drip-free pour
spouts. An exclusive SealTight Advantage System seals the s
and locks the blades for clean, safe processing and pouring. In
addition, the unit's wide-mouth feed tube accommodates larger
ingredients, which reduces the need for cutting food into smaller
pieces first, and its electronic touchpad control panel offers
three selections for on, off, and pulse. Use the machine to
quickly blend up individual or family-size batches of pesto, chop
onions and green peppers for a veggie pizza, or shred cheese for
omelets on a Sunday morning. Accessories include a
stainless-steel adjustable slicing disc (1 to 6 mm), a
stainless-steel reversible shredding disc (fine/medium), a large
and small stainless-steel chopping/mixing blade, and a dough
blade. Thoughtfully designed, the food-prep appliance also
provides blue LED indicator lights, a simple on/off locking
system with push-button release, and dishwasher-safe removable
parts for quick cleanup. A spatula, "how-to" DVD, and a
recipe/instruction book come included. The food processor
measures 7 by 10-1/2 by 15-1/5 inches and carries a three-year
limited warranty with a 10-year warranty on the motor.
From the Manufacturer
Cuisinart extended the potential of every kitchen, with the
introduction of the food processor in 1973. Now with the
innovative Elite Collection, Cuisinart continues the pioneering
tradition. Loaded with 1000 watts of peak power and innovative
options, this ground breaking collection utilizes the exclusive
SealTight Advantage system and a revolutionary nested design
to usher in the next generation of food processing. With two
nested s, a reversible shredding disc and adjustable slicing
disc (8 different options with 2 discs), a dough blade, and a
versatile chopping/mixing blade, there is no limit to what you
can do. The SealTight lid and blade assembly lets you utilize the
maximum of each 's processing capacity without spills or
leaks, and ensures easy cleaning and convenient handling. The
motor housing base is extra-durable with a streamline design that
provides a solid foundation for the demands of food processing.
It's versatile, powerful, and user-friendly food
processor--something consumers always expect from Cuisinart.
Features, Benefits, and Operations
* Housing Base and Motor: With a vertically projecting shaft,
this powerful base processes through a variety of recipes with
1000 watts of peak power.
* Touchpad Control Panel: These easy to clean, electronically
controlled buttons, On, Off, and Pulse, cover a host of food
processing functions. The contemporary blue LED light indicates

The large and small work s (12 and 4 cup) are made of durable
polycarbonate material with convenient measurements marking and
pour spouts. Cuisinart recommends using the work s in a
manner that will optimize efficiency. For example, if your recipe
requires using both s, begin with the small to minimize
cleaning. This way the small can serve as a prep to
reserve chopped ingredients for a recipe. Note that the s
lock into place while nested. The convenient finger recesses can

can remain nested during pouring or food removal.

Cleaning and Storage
All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe, and
recommend washing on the top rack only. The housing base may be
wiped clean with a soapy, non-abrasive material and dry after
cleaning. If you wash the blades and discs by hand, do it
carefully as their cutting edges are very sharp. For your safety

finger holes for the discs.
