Cuisinart LPP - Manual (Page 8)

TECHNICAL DATA
The line voltage and fre-
quency approximate for
your machine are shown
on label on underside of
base.
An automatic temperature-
controlled circuit breaker in
motor ensures protection
against motor burnout. If
processor runs for excep-
tionally long time when
chopping, mixing or knead-
ing thick or heavy mixtures
in successive batches,
motor may overheat. If this
happens, processor will
stop. Turn it off and wait for
motor to cool off before
proceeding. It will usually
cool off within 10 minutes.
In extreme cases, it could
take an hour.
Safety switches prevent
machine from operating
when work bowl or cover is
not locked into position.
Motor stops within seconds
when control switch is
turned off or cover is
unlocked. If motor should
ever continue to run, do not
attempt to remove cover.
Remove plug from outlet
and immediately notify the
Cuisinart Consumer
Service Center.
WARRANTY
CUISINART ® PRO PLUS ™
FOOD PROCESSOR /
JUICER LIMITED
THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all
previous warranties on
Cuisinart
® Pro Plus ™ Food
Processors.
This warranty is available to
consumers only. You are a
consumer if you own a
Cuisinart
® Pro Plus ™ Food
Processor that was purchased
at retail for personal, family or
household use. Except as oth-
erwise required under applica-
ble state law, this warranty is
not available to retailers
or other commercial
purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your
Cuisinart
® Pro Plus ™ Food
Processor will be free of
defects in material and work-
manship under normal home
use for three years from the
date of original purchase.
However, return of the
warranty registration card
is not a condition of this war-
ranty and does not eliminate
the need for the consumer to
maintain the original proof of
purchase. In the event that you
do not have proof of purchase
date, the purchase date for
purposes of this warranty will
be the date of manufacture.
We suggest that you complete
and return the enclosed
warranty registration card
promptly to facilitate verifica-
tion of the date of original
purchase.
If your food processor should
prove to be defective within
the warranty period, we will
repair it (or, if we think
necessary, replace it) without
charge to you. To obtain
warranty service, please call
our Consumer Service Center
toll-free at 800-726-0190 or
write to:
Cuisinart

To facilitate the speed and
accuracy of your return, please
also enclose $7.00 for shipping
and handling of the product;
under California law, only proof
of purchase is required. Please
also be sure to include a return
address, description of the
product defect, product serial
number, and any other infor-
mation pertinent to the prod-
ucts return. Please pay by

Your Cuisinart ® Pro Plus ™ Food
Processor has been manufac-
tured to strict specifications
and has been designed for use
with the Cuisinart
® Food
Processor authorized acces-
sories and replacement parts
for your model. This warranty
expressly excludes any
defects or damages caused by
accessories, replacement parts
or repair service other than
those that have been author-
ized by Cuisinart.
This warranty does not cover
any damage caused by
accident, misuse, shipment
or other than ordinary
household use.
This warranty excludes all inci-
dental or consequential dam-
ages. Some states do not
allow the exclusion of or limita-
tion of incidental or conse-
quential damages, so the fore-
going may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specif-
ic legal rights, and you may
have other rights that vary
from state to state.
WARNING
Our food processors and
accessories are carefully
designed and manufactured
with high-quality materials to
assure your satisfaction and
safety when you use them.
Although accessories sold by
companies other than
Cuisinart may be compatible
with your Cuisinart
® Food
Processor, they may also be
extremely dangerous and
expose the user to serious
injury.
We specifically caution you not
to use other brand acces-
sories, such as juicers, which
permit your processor to oper-
ate with exposed cutting or
shredding discs.
If you have any questions
about the safety features of
your Cuisinart
® Food
Processor, please call us at
the toll-free number that
appears on the above
warranty.
Cut carrots in half and
insert one piece point-side
down and the other stem-
side down.
A few pieces of food
remain on top of slicing
or shredding disc
You can improve this by
raising and lowering
(bouncing) pusher when
food is almost all sliced
or shredded.
Cheese spreads out and
collects on top of shred-
ding disc
Cheese was not cold
enough, or pressure on
pusher was too great.
Always use light pressure
when processing cheese.
CLEANING AND
STORING
Keep your food processor
ready for use on a kitchen
counter. When it’s not
being used, leave it
unplugged. Don’t leave it
with cover in locked posi-
tion; this could damage the
off-on mechanism.
Store blades and discs in
safe, convenient place, as
you would sharp knives —
out of the reach of children.
All parts except motor base
are dishwasher safe and
we recommend washing
them in the dishwasher ON
THE TOP RACK. Due to
intense water heat, wash-
ing the work bowl, work
bowl cover and accessories
on the bottom rack may
cause damage over time.
Insert work bowl upside
down. Remember where
you place sharp blades and
discs, and unload them
carefully.
To simplify cleaning, rinse
work bowl, cover, pusher
and blade or disc immedi-
ately after use so food
won’t dry on them.
If you wash blades and
discs by hand, do it careful-
ly. Avoid leaving them in
soapy water, where they
may disappear from sight.
To clean metal blade, fill
work bowl with soapy
water, hold blade by its
center plastic part and
move it up and down on
center shaft. Use of a spray
attachment is also effec-
tive. If necessary, use a
brush.
Work bowl is made of
Lexan
® polycarbonate plas-
tic, which is shatter resist-
ant and heat resistant.
Chopping certain foods
may scratch or cloud work
bowl. Among them are rice,
whole spices and oils like
wintergreen. If you like to
prepare your own spice
blends, you may want to
keep a second bowl just for
that purpose.
Base housing is made of
touch plastic with high
impact resistance. Its
smooth surface will look
new for years. Keep a
sponge handy as you work
and wipe spills from base.
Wipe in direction away
from motor shaft. Do not
use abrasive spray clean-
ers on base or pusher.
Four rubber feet on under-
side of base keep it from
moving on most work sur-
faces when machine is pro-
cessing heavy loads. Clean
feet from time to time; if
rubber surface is not clean,
machine may move on
counter. If feet leave spots
on counter, spray with spot
remover and wipe with
damp sponge. If any trace
of spot remains, repeat
procedure and wipe area
with damp sponge and
non-abrasive cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Never store
any blade or disc on motor
shaft. No blade or disc
should be placed on shaft
except when work bowl is
in place and processor is
about to be used.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical
appliances, your food
processor should be han-
dled with care.
Follow these guidelines to
protect yourself and your
family from misuse that
could cause injury.
Handle and store metal
blade and discs carefully.
Their cutting edges are
very sharp.
Never put adapter stem on
motor shaft until work bowl
is securely locked in place.
Always make certain that
adapter stem is down on
motor shaft as far as it will
go.
Always insert metal blade
in work bowl before putting
ingredients in work bowl.
When slicing or shred-
ding food, always use
pusher. Never put your
fingers or a spatula into
feed tube.
Always wait for blade or
disc to stop spinning before
you remove cover from
work bowl.
Be careful not to let metal
blade fall out of work bowl
when you empty bowl.
Remove it before tilting
bowl or hold it in place.
