Your SmartPower Duet^®appliance

comes with a food processor button.

This button is the perfect speed for all

your food processing tasks. Always

use this speed when using the food

processor. You may also use the

“Pulse” button with this function for

pulse-chopping.

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 plastic spatula to scrape

down any pieces that stick to inside

of bowl.

SLICING AND SHREDDING WITH

THE REVERSIBLE

SLICING/SHREDDING DISC

Always use the “Food Processor” but-

ton for pulse/chopping. Never turn

cover back and forth to start and stop

processor.

The slicing/shredding disc can slice

and shred a variety of fruits and veg-

etables, meats and cheeses.

Food Processor Assembly for

Slicing and Shredding

USING THE SMARTPOWER DUET^®

BLENDER/FOOD PROCESSOR TO

CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX

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.

1. Hold collar in one hand and bowl

handle in the other. Twist bowl

clockwise onto collar.

Onions and other food with a high

water content turn into a smooth purée

very quickly. Do not over- chop - look

at food frequently through work bowl.

Refer to Food Processor Assembly

instructions on page 6.

When you use the control panel, the

LED will light next to each button you

press.

2. Place collar with bowl onto motor

base with handle facing front.

1. Remove cover and put food into

work bowl.

To purée, follow same procedure as

for chopping, but let machine run until

food is a smooth purée.

Here are two ways to prevent it from

falling out:

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 plas-

tic 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 3/4" 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 3/4" pieces. Put up to 1/2 pound in work bowl.

If you want to chop or purée more, do it in batches

of not more than 1/2 pound 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 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.

2. Hold top of blade in place with fin-

ger or spatula while pouring out

processed food.

ADDING FOOD

WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is run-

ning, 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.

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.

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.

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 3/4" 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.

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 hap-

pens, 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 turn-

ing it counterclockwise. Never try to

remove cover and work bowl together;

this can damage 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.

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

savory, 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 favorites 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/shred-

ding disc with the desired cutting

edge facing up onto the adapter

stem. Always handle slicing/shred-

ding 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 1/2" 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.

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.

Chopping Nuts

Grinding Spices

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.

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.

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

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 dam-

age work bowl.

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.

Bread, Cookie or

Cracker Crumbs

For best results, use day-old bread

(drier bread works best). Break bread

slices into 1/2" 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 1/2"

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 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 15-20 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 side-

ways 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).

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.

Cut one end flat then cut lengthwise in halves or quar-

ters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.

Fill feed tube to about 1" 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 center 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 center

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 usu-

ally fit when frozen as described above and cut in half

crosswise.

Uncooked meat and poultry

(8 oz. 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 4 oz. maxi-

mum.

Do not slice

Soft cheeses like Mozzarella

Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before pro-

cessing. Use 4 oz. 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.
