Cuisinart HANDY PREP DFP-3 - Manual (Page 14)

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.
TECHNICAL DATA
The line voltage and
frequency 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.
