CLEANING, STORAGE, AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR GOODFULTM BY CUISINART® BLENDER/ FOOD PROCESSOR Always unplug your GoodfulTM by Cuisinart® Blender/Food Processor from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts that are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER/FOOD PROCESSOR. Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and away. Remove blade assembly by turning counterclockwise. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. CAUTION: Handle the blade assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from assembly. Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly or place in upper rack of dishwasher. The blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can also be placed upside down in dishwasher. Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquids, or place in a dishwasher. Tip: You may wish to clean your blender blade assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill halfway with warm water. Run on LOW for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. Store the chopping blade and slicing/shredding disc as you would sharp knives out of reach of children. 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. The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth. If you wash the blade and disc 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. The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven. DOS & DON'TS WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER DO: · Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the motor base. · Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface. · Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed. 6 · Cut most foods into cubes approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no larger than ½ inch (1.3cm). · Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been added. · Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar or blade assembly. · Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on. · Make sure removable blade assembly is tightly attached to blender jar. · Always remove blade assembly before cleaning. · When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts, etc., make sure the blender jar and blade assembly are completely dry. · If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts. · Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses, about 12 seconds. DON'T: · Don't store food or liquids in the blender jar. · Don't place blade assembly on motor base without the blender jar attached. · Don't attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough or beat egg whites. · Don't remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar cover on the blender jar while blending. · Don't twist removable blade assembly from blender jar when removing blender jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base. · Don't overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immediately, unplug the unit and remove a portion of the food, then continue. · Don't use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on. · Don't use any containers or accessories not recommended by GoodfulTM by Cuisinart®. Doing so may result in injury. · Don't put hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in. · Don't add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being poured into blender jar. · Don't run blender when jar is empty. 7 FOOD PROCESSOR ASSEMBLY, USE AND CARE FOOD PROCESSOR ASSEMBLY FOR SLICING AND SHREDDING 1. Unplug unit. Place gearbox collar onto motor base. Please note that the bowl with collar will fit on the base in four different positions. The handle can be in front or on either side, and the feed tube in front, back or on either side. Directions for use reference a certain position for instructional purposes only. FOOD PROCESSOR ASSEMBLY FOR CHOPPING, PURÉEING AND MIXING 1. Place collar onto motor base. 2. Place work bowl onto the collar with handle facing front. Twist clockwise to lock onto collar. 3. Place chopping/mixing blade over shaft in work bowl. Chopping blade should slide easily to the bottom of the bowl. Lower blade will almost touch bottom of bowl. BE SURE TO HANDLE THE METAL BLADE WITH CARE, AS IT IS RAZOR SHARP! 4. Place food to be processed in work bowl. Put cover on work bowl and turn the cover clockwise until it fits into position. Cover lock must click into locked position prior to use. If you have trouble fitting the cover on the work bowl, turn chopping blade hub slightly and replace cover. 5. The food pusher fits in feed tube with the more rounded side toward the outside of the bowl. ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR SPATULA. 6. Plug your GoodfulTM by Cuisinart® Blender/ Food Processor with work bowl into a household electrical outlet. Turn dial knob to desired LOW, HIGH, or PULSE to start chopping or puréeing. It is recommended that one hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide unit stability. If the machine doesn't start, make sure it is plugged in and the work bowl and cover are locked into place. The food processor will not start until the collar, work bowl and work bowl lid are locked into place. Nevertheless, always unplug the unit before placing hands into the food processor bowl. NOTE: The motor base will start, but the food processor blade will not turn until assembled properly. 2. Place workbowl onto the collar with handle facing front. Twist clockwise to lock onto collar. 3. 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. Be sure to handle the metal blade with care, as it is razor sharp. 4. Place cover on work bowl and turn cover clockwise until it fits into position and locks. Insert food into feed tube. 5. Hold pusher with the 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. 6. Plug your GoodfulTM by Cuisinart® Blender/ Food Processor with work bowl into a household electrical outlet. 7. To remove cover, unlock it by turning it counterclockwise, then lift it straight up. FOOD PROCESSOR OPERATION Turn the dial to LOW or HIGH for continuous operation. Motor will start if you have followed assembly instructions. To turn motor off, turn the dial to OFF. Turn dial to PULSE and alternately "pulse and release" in short bursts until ingredients have reached desired consistency. Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor. TIPS WHEN USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX 1. Cut food into ½- to 1-inch pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that are all the same size. You can put in up to 1 cup of food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in batches. 2. It is recommended to use the PULSE function to chop food. With pulse-chopping technique, 8 you can get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check texture by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to overprocess. For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times. 3. If you want a finer chop or purée, turn the dial to HIGH 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 over-chopping. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside of bowl. 4. 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. 5. To purée, follow same procedure for chopping, but let machine run until food is a smooth purée. 6. New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works. You will quickly get used to its great speed. 7. These are some conditions that affect your results: · 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. ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING 1. To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through open feed tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise or dressings. 2. A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow, steady stream useful when making sauces or dressings. 3. When you want to add small pieces of food such as cheese, meat or garlic cloves while machine is running, drop them through open feed tube. 4. To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients, use a funnel. REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD Before removing processed food, turn dial to OFF 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. It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty it. Here are two ways to prevent the blade from falling out: 1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade. Carefully remove blade by holding onto the plastic hub. 2. Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring out processed food. At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off motor base or hold the collar at the base, turn the handle of the bowl counterclockwise and lift work bowl straight up. NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between the blade and the work bowl. If this happens, turn to 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. TIPS WHEN USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO SLICE AND SHRED 1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way. (See page 8.) 2. Use moderate pressure with one hand to guide food down with the pusher, while using your other hand to turn the dial to LOW or HIGH. 3. Turn dial to the OFF position and wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops, remove cover by turning it counterclockwise. Next, remove slicing/ shredding disc before removing work bowl. To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up. To remove work bowl, hold work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it straight up to remove it from base. Never try to remove cover and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl. 9 QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE To begin blending/processing Rotate dial to desired speed (HIGH/LOW or PULSE).
