also use the Pulse button with this function for pulse-chopping.

NOTE: The motor base will start, but the food processor blade

will not turn until assembled properly.

To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled

properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are

locked into place.

b) SLICING AND SHREDDING WITH THE REVERSIBLE

SLICING/SHREDDING DISC

When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each

button you press.

The slicing/shredding disc can slice and shred a variety of fruits

and vegetables, meats and cheeses.

Press the On button. For continuous operation, press the

Food Processor button. Motor will start if you have followed

assembly instructions.

1. Place adapter stem onto the center shaft. To slice: Attach disc

to stem with the raised edge of slicer on top. To shred: Attach

disc to stem with the raised shredding slots on top. Place the

slicing/shredding disc onto shaft with the desired cutting blade

Turn cover clockwise until it fits into position. Insert food in feed

tube.

3. Hold pusher with more rounded side toward the outside of the

bowl and insert it in feed tube over food. Always use pusher to

guide food through feed tube. Never use your fingers or spatula.

For on/off operation, called pulse-chopping or pulsing, press the

On button, press the Pulse button, and then press and release the

Food Processor button the desired number of times. Motor runs as

long as you hold the Food Processor button down. The motor

stops when you release control switch. Try it a few times.

plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside

of bowl.

Onions and other food with a high water content turn into a smooth

purée very quickly. Do not overchop – look at food frequently

through work bowl.

You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of

time you hold the Food Processor button down and the rate at

which you press it. Pulses should be short bursts. Allow enough

time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall to bottom.

To purée, follow same procedure as for chopping, but let machine

run until food is a smooth purée.

New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works.

You will quickly get used to its great speed.

Always use the Food Processor button for pulse/chopping.

Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.

These are some conditions that affect your results:

• Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same

size.

USING THE POWERBLEND DUET^™BLENDER/FOOD

PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX

• Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.

Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on pages 8–9.

• Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse/chopping.

1. Cut food into ¾" pieces. You will get a more even chop if you

start with pieces that are all the same size. Put pieces into work

bowl with metal blade in place. You can put in up to 1 cup of

food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in batches.

ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through the

open feed tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise

or dressings.

2. Put on cover, lock it and insert pusher. It is recommended that

one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to

provide unit stability. Press the On button, press the Pulse

button, and the Food Processor button (to pulse), then release.

Repeat two to three times. Each time blade stops, let food

pieces drop to the bottom of bowl before pulsing again. This

ensures that the blade will chop them at every pulse. Watch what

happens to the food. With pulse/chopping technique, you can

get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check

texture by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to

overprocess.

A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow,

steady stream – useful when making sauces.

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.

To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients,

use a funnel.

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

together; this can damage work bowl.

For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.

NOTE: The unit has an advanced thermal, resettable fuse

feature. In the event of an overload condition, the unit will shut

down to protect the motor from overheating. When this

happens, reset the unit by unplugging the blender and let it cool

down for a minimum of 15 minutes.

It is important not to let metal blade fall out of

work bowl as you empty it.

Here are two ways to prevent it from falling out:

3. If you want a finer chop or purée, press the On button and then

the Food Processor button and let machine run continuously

until the food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently

through clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use a

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove

food from around blade. Carefully remove

blade by the plastic hub.

2. Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring

out processed food.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Chopping

THE FOOD

HOW TO PREPARE IT

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.

Fruits and vegetables

Peel and core if necessary. Remove large, hard

pits and seeds. Cut into ¾" pieces and process

up to 1 cup at a time.

NOTES: 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.

Meat, poultry and fish

These should be very cold but not frozen. First,

cut into ¾" pieces. Put up to ½ pound in work

bowl. If you want to chop or purée more, do it

in batches of not more than ½ pound each.

Pulse/chop or run continuously until desired

consistency is reached. Check texture every 2

or 3 seconds to avoid overprocessing.

Don't store food or liquids in the food processor work bowl.

CLEANING AND STORING

Bread, crackers or cookies

Break into 1" 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.

YOUR POWERBLEND DUET^™

FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT

Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you

would sharp knives – out of the reach of children.

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.

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.

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 ¾"

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 3

ounces at one time.

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 center and move rapidly up

and down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is

also effective. If necessary, use a brush.

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. Do not use food processor

whipped cream to prepare soufflés or other

foods where volume is required.

The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.

Parsley and other fresh herbs

Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and

dry. Remove stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding

Food

To Prepare for Slicing

To Prepare for Shredding

Long narrow foods like carrots, celery,

cucumbers and zucchini

Cut into even lengths about 1" shorter than height

of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube,

flat side down, adding enough pieces so they

cannot tilt.

For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit

sideways in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to

about 1" from top. For shorter shreds, stand

pieces upright in feed tube, flat side down (as

described in slicing column).

Apples, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes

and other large, round fruits and vegetables

Cut one end flat, then cut lengthwise into halves

or quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent

tilting. Fill feed tube to about 1" from top.

Use light to moderate pressure.

Same as slicing. Place in feed tube sideways for

longer shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.

Strawberries, mushrooms, radishes and other

small, round fruits and vegetables

Slice off top and bottom, leaving center section.

Place in feed tube, flat side down.

Same as slicing. Radishes shred well.

Do not shred.

Cabbage, iceberg lettuce

Cut off top and bottom, leaving center section.

Cut into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove

core. Cut top and bottom pieces into similar

wedges.

Uncooked meat and poultry

(8 oz. maximum at one time)

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 with tip of

sharp knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand

pieces 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.

Same as slicing.

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

4 oz. maximum.

Soft cheeses like mozzarella

Do not slice.

Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before

processing. Use 4 oz. maximum.

Medium-hard cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss

Hard cheeses like Parmesan

Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in

feed tube and use light pressure on pusher.

Do not shred.

Do not slice.

WARRANTY

LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY

This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states

do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so they may not

apply to you.

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own

a Cuisinart^®PowerBlend Duet^™Blender/Food Processor that was purchased

at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required

under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other

commercial purchasers or owners.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have

the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was

purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the

same type.

We warrant that your Cuisinart^®PowerBlend Duet^™Blender/Food Processor

will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use

for 3 years from the date of original purchase.

The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer the

consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund

the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s

prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the

appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product

to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically

accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for

the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for

nonconforming products under warranty.

We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration card

promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase. However,

return of the product registration card does not eliminate the need for the

consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the

warranty benefits. 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.

If your Cuisinart^®PowerBlend Duet^™Blender/Food Processor should prove

to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think

necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free

number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Customer Service

Representatives, or send the defective product to Customer Service at

Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.

California residents may also, according to their preference, return

nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,

replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at

1-800-726-0190.

Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and

shipping and handling for such products under warranty.

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 for

shipping and handling of the product.

BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART^®PRODUCT

Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only supply

you call our Cuisinart^®Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the

product serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether

the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart^®product

that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery

service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other

than Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call

our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem

Grinding Hard Cheese

RECIPE TIPS

Cut cheese into ½" pieces. Blend on Food Processor speed for

30 seconds. Turn blender off. For best results, grind no more

than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.

You’ll find many easy ways to prepare savory, healthful meals with

your Cuisinart^®PowerBlend Duet^™. The simple recipes that follow

include some Cuisinart favorites as well as some creative new

combinations that are sure to please your friends and family.

Thanks to the superior ice crushing power of the PowerBlend

Duet^™, you’ll also be able to make delicious frozen drinks.

Whipping Cream

Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy cream) at a time. Blend

on Mix, and process for 45 to 60 seconds or until creamy and

smooth. If making sweetened cream, add sugar after 10 seconds.

Turn blender off. Makes about 1 cup.

Chopping Nuts

Pulse ½ cup of nuts (shells removed) on Chop 4 to 5 times. Turn

blender off; scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn blender on and

pulse on Chop 2 to 3 times. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times for

more coarsely chopped nuts. For best results, process no more

than 1 cup at a time.

Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Rehydrate 1 ounce 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 to 20

seconds. Turn blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired.

Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs

For best results, use day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break

bread slices into ½" pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of

pieces at a time on Mix for 5 to 10 seconds. Crackers and cookies

should also be broken into ½" pieces; process 1 cup at a time on

Mix for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn blender off.

Makes about ½ cup of puréed tomatoes.

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.

Grating Citrus Zest

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 to 20

seconds. Turn blender off.

granulated sugar, and espresso powder in the blender jar. Cover

and pulse on Chop 10 to 15 times to chop the chocolate

somewhat finely.

Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 325°F.

Brush a six-cup oval baker or gratin dish with the melted butter.

Dust with 2 teaspoons of the granulated sugar.

Add the egg yolks and blend for 20 seconds on Mix. With the

blender running on Purée, add the hot heavy cream through the

pour lid in a slow steady stream and blend until chocolate is

completely melted, about 45 seconds. Spoon off foam and discard

(may also put in a fat separator and pour off liquid until just foam

remains). Stir in vanilla.

Place ¼ cup of the sugar and the nuts in the blender jar. Cover and

pulse 15 times on Chop to chop the nuts. Add the evaporated

milk, cream, eggs, vanilla, brandy, salt, flour, and cinnamon. Blend

creamy – do not overblend.

Arrange the cherries in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Carefully pour the batter over the cherries. Place in the preheated

oven and bake for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, sprinkle evenly

with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar. Continue to bake for an

additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the clafoutis is puffed and golden

brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before

serving. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or

frozen yogurt as desired.

Pour equal amounts of the chocolate mixture into each of the

ramekins. Place pan in oven and add hot water to reach halfway

up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in preheated 325°F oven for 55

Roasted Garlic Hummus

Pesto

Traditional pesto is a thick, uncooked sauce made of basil leaves, garlic,

olive oil, pine nuts, and cheese. It is a favorite for dressing pasta, and is

also wonderful on boiled or steamed potatoes, steamed fresh vegetables,

or as a spread on a fresh tomato and mozzarella sandwich. You may vary

your pesto by using other herbs such as cilantro, mint or parsley and by

using other nuts such as almonds, pecans or hazelnuts.

on hand), and toss them in a small amount of olive oil. Place them

in the center of a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and roast in a

400ºF oven for 35 to 45 minutes until tender and golden. The sharp

pungent flavor of the garlic will become sweet and mellow.
