General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Processing with  
the Food Processor Chopping Blade  
1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to  
remove food from around blade.  
Carefully remove blade by the  
plastic hub.  
THE FOOD  
HOW TO PREPARE IT  
New users are often surprised at how  
fast the processor works. You will  
quickly get used to its great speed.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Peel and core if necessary. Remove large hard  
pits and seeds. Cut into 2cm pieces and process  
up to 1 cup at a time.  
These are some conditions that affect  
your results:  
Meat, poultry and fish  
These should be very cold but not frozen. First, cut  
into 2cm pieces. Put up to 230g in work bowl.  
If you want to chop or purée more, do it in batches  
of not more than 230g each. Pulse/chop or  
run continuously until desired consistency is  
reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to  
avoid overprocessing.  
Size of pieces you put in bowl –  
all should be about the same size.  
Amount of food you process – don’t  
add too much.  
Type of processing you choose –  
continuous or pulse/chopping.  
Bread, crackers or cookies  
Break into 2.5cm pieces and process continuously  
until texture for crumbs is fine. For seasoned  
crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered crumbs,  
dribble melted butter through feed tube while  
processing - 1 teaspoon melted butter for each  
slice of bread.  
2. Hold top of blade in place with  
finger or spatula while pouring out  
processed food.  
ADDING FOOD  
WHILE PROCESSING  
To add liquid while the machine is  
running, pour it through open feed  
tube. This is especially useful when  
making mayonnaise or dressings.  
A small hole in the pusher allows you  
to add liquids in a very slow, steady  
stream – useful when making sauces.  
At this point, you may either lift the  
work bowl off motor base, or hold the  
collar at the base and turn the handle  
of the bowl counterclockwise and lift  
blade straight up.  
Crumb crusts  
Chop crackers or cookies as described in  
preceding paragraph. Add sugar, spices and butter  
and cut into pieces, as specified by recipe.  
Pulse/chop until combined.  
Your SmartPower Duet Blender/Food  
Processor makes many everyday food  
preparation tasks much easier and  
faster. Follow these guidelines to get  
best results when using metal blade  
with food you prepare most often.  
When you want to add small pieces  
of food like cheese, meat or garlic  
cloves while machine is running,  
drop them through open feed tube.  
Hard cheese “grated”  
If it’s too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to chop  
it – it may damage blade. First cut into 2cm pieces.  
Pulse/chop until pea-sized, then process  
continuously. You can chop it as coarse or as fine  
as you want. Simply run machine longer for finer  
chop. Process up to 100g at one time.  
To prevent spills when adding  
sugar and other dry ingredients,  
use a funnel.  
NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food  
may become wedged between the  
blade and the work bowl. If this  
happens, remove the cover, lift the  
blade out carefully and remove the  
wedged piece. Empty the bowl,  
reinsert the blade and lock the cover  
into place. Process smaller amounts of  
the food at one time.  
Whipping cream  
Processor-whipped cream works well for most  
purposes. It is excellent as a topping for desserts  
or hot drinks. Cream must be at refrigerator  
temperature. You can whip up to 1 cup at a time.  
REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD  
Before removing processed food, press  
“Off” button and wait for blade to stop  
spinning. Then remove cover by  
turning it counterclockwise. Never try  
to remove cover and work bowl  
Parsley and other fresh herbs  
Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and  
dry. Remove stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs  
completely. The more herbs you chop at once, the  
finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs keep for  
several days in the refrigerator in airtight bags, or  
can be frozen for months.  
together; this can damage work bowl.  
It is important not to let metal blade fall  
out of work bowl as you empty it.

STORING YOUR  
SMARTPOWER  
FOOD PROCESSOR  
ATTACHMENT  
1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar  
and base in the usual way. (See  
steps 1 and 2 on page 6.)  
For best results, blender jar and cutting  
assembly must be clean and dry.  
Remove zest from fruit in strips (using  
vegetable peeler). Use no more than  
8 strips at a time (zest of one medium  
lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips  
and 1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe)  
to the blender jar. Blend on food  
processor speed for 15-20 seconds.  
Turn blender off.  
You’ll find many easy ways to prepare  
savoury, healthful meals with your  
Cuisinart® SmartPowerDuet  
2. Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by  
side that has the octagon shape  
(eight sided) and push rounded side  
down as far as it will go on motor  
shaft.  
Blender/Food Processor. The simple  
recipes that follow include some old  
Cuisinart favourites as well as some  
creative combinations that are sure to  
please your friends and family. Thanks to  
the superior ice crushing power of the  
SmartPowerDuet Blender/Food  
Processor, you’ll also be able to make  
delicious frozen drinks.  
Store the chopping blade and slicing/  
shredding disc as you would sharp  
knives – out of the reach of children.  
3. Place the reversible  
slicing/shredding disc with the  
desired cutting edge facing up onto  
the adapter stem. Always handle  
slicing/shredding disc by the rim.  
Never touch sharp cutting blades.  
The work bowl, cover, pusher,  
chopping blade, and slicing/shredding  
disc are top shelf dishwasher safe.  
When placing parts in your  
dishwasher, insert the work bowl  
upside down. Remember where you  
place the sharp blade and disc, and  
be certain to unload the dishwasher  
carefully.  
Grinding Hard Cheese  
Cut cheese into 15mm pieces. Blend on  
food processor speed for 30 seconds.  
Turn blender off. For best results, grind  
no more than 100g of cheese at a time.  
RECIPE TIPS FOR USING  
YOUR SMARTPOWER DUET  
BLENDER:  
4. Put cover on work bowl, lock it into  
place by twisting it clockwise and  
insert food in feed tube.  
Grinding Spices  
Chopping Nuts  
For best results, blender jar and cutting  
assembly must be clean and dry. Add  
1/4 -1/2 cup of spices, seeds or  
peppercorns to blender jar. Blend on  
food processor speed for 30-35  
seconds. Turn blender off.  
Pulse 1/2 cup of nuts (shells removed)  
on chop 4-5 times. Turn blender off;  
scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn  
blender on and pulse on chop 2-3 times.  
Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times for  
more coarsely chopped results. For best  
results, process no more than 1 cup at  
a time.  
5. Insert pusher. Use moderate  
pressure to push down on pusher  
with one hand while using your  
other hand to push the On button,  
Pulse button, and hold down the  
Food Processor button. Slicing and  
shredding only take a few seconds.  
The gearbox collar is not immersible.  
To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.  
If you wash the blades 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 centre and move rapidly up  
and down on the centre shaft of the  
bowl. Use of a spray hose is also  
effective. If necessary, use a brush.  
Whipping Cream  
Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy  
cream) at a time. Blend on mix, and  
process for 45-60 seconds or until  
creamy and smooth. If making  
sweetened cream, add sugar after  
10 seconds. Turn blender off.  
Makes about 1 cup.  
Wait until disc stops spinning before  
removing cover. When it stops,  
remove cover before removing work  
bowl. Never try to remove cover and  
work bowl together; this could  
damage work bowl.  
Bread, Cookie or  
Cracker Crumbs  
For best results, use day-old bread (drier  
bread works best). Break bread slices  
into 15mm pieces, and process no more  
than 1 cup of pieces at a time on mix for  
5-10 seconds. Crackers and cookies  
should also be broken into 15mm  
pieces; process 1 cup at a time on mix  
for 10-15 seconds. Turn blender off.  
6. Remove slicing/shredding disc  
before removing work bowl. To  
remove it, grasp flat top section of  
adapter stem and lift it straight up.  
Holding work bowl collar, turn work  
bowl counterclockwise and lift it  
straight up to remove it from base.  
Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes  
Rehydrate 30g of tomatoes in 1 cup  
boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes  
or until softened. Add tomatoes and  
water to blender jar. Cover and pulse on  
food processor speed 5 times; then run  
continuously on food processor speed  
for 15-20 seconds. Turn blender off.  
Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes  
about 1/2 cup of puréed tomatoes.  
The work bowl should not be placed  
in a microwave oven.  
Crushing Ice  
(Blender Jar Only)  
Add up to 10 large ice cubes to  
blender jar. Press the “Ice Crush”  
Button, using short bursts, 10 times or  
until cubes are the consistency of  
snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer  
times if coarsely chopped ice is  
desired.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding  
To Prepare for Shredding  
Food  
To Prepare for Slicing  
For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit  
sideways in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to about  
2.5cm from top. For shorter shreds, stand pieces  
upright in feed tube, flat side down (as described in  
slicing column).  
Long narrow foods like carrots, celery, cucumbers,  
and zucchini  
Cut into even lengths about 2.5cm shorter than height  
of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat  
side down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.  
Cut one end flat then cut lengthwise in halves or  
quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.  
Fill feed tube to about 2.5cm from top.  
Apples, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and  
other large round fruits and vegetables  
Same as slicing. Place in feed tube sideways for  
longer shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.  
Use light to moderate pressure.  
Slice off top and bottom, leaving centre section. Place  
in feed tube, flat side down.  
Strawberries, mushrooms, radishes and other small,  
round fruits and vegetables  
Radishes shred well.  
Same as slicing.  
Cut off top & bottom, leaving centre section. Cut into  
wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core. Cut top  
& bottom pieces in similar wedges.  
Cabbage, Iceberg Lettuce  
Do not shred.  
Same as slicing.  
Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.  
Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put  
in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it  
but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp knife.  
Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed tube.  
Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be sliced  
with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast will  
usually fit when frozen as described above and cut in  
half crosswise.  
Uncooked meat and poultry  
(230g maximum at one time)  
Chill in freezer for 5 minutes before processing.  
Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed  
tube and use light pressure on pusher. Use 120g  
maximum.  
Do not slice  
Soft cheeses like Mozzarella  
Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before  
processing. Use 120g maximum.  
Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed  
tube and use light pressure on pusher.  
Medium-hard cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss  
Hard cheeses like Parmesan  
Do not shred.  
Do not slice.
