Before First Use

Take care when unpacking the chopping/mixing blades and the reversible slicing/

grating discs. The blades are very sharp and could cause injury.

To avoid injury, ensure the raised ﬁnger grips on the plastic casing are used to remove the

blades from their plastic packaging and carefully remove cardboard and tape from the

reversible slicing/grating discs. Retain the plastic casings for safe storage.

Before using your Cuisinart Easy Prep Pro for the ﬁrst time, wash the large and small

work bowls, work bowl cover, pusher accessory, chopping/mixing blades, and both slicing/

grating discs.

1. Selecting the Work Bowl

nThe Food Processor is supplied with two work bowls.

nThe large work bowl has a maximum capacity of 1.9L and can be used with the large

chopping/mixing blade and the two reversible slicing and grating/shredding discs.

nThe small work bowl has a maximum capacity of 0.7L and can be used with the small

chopping/mixing blade only. The seal on the inner bowl prevents any leakage into the

large work bowl, allowing you to use the small bowl without the need to wash up the

large bowl after use.

N.B. The large work bowl must always be ﬁtted before the small work bowl can be set up

inside.

It will not always be possible to use the work bowls to their maximum capacity. The

amount of food/liquid you can process in the bowls will depend on the density of the

ingredients in the work bowl and the consistency of the desired end result. For example,

to achieve a consistent result when chopping or pureeing nuts, fruits, vegetables or meats

you may need to process in batches of 300-500g . If you are mixing dough which can be

very dense, you may need to process in batches of around 400g.

If you ﬁnd that the motor is struggling or that the processing results are uneven, then

we would recommend that you reduce the amount of ingredients in the work bowl and

instead process in batches.

For liquid, we recommend that you do not ﬁll the bowls above the Maximum Liquid Fill

markings on each bowl (900ml on the large work bowl and 300ml on the small work

bowl.) This is to avoid liquid spilling into the central spindle which may cause leakage.

2. Selecting the Blade/Disc

For chopping, mixing, blending and puréeing use the chopping/mixing blades.

nThe large chopping/mixing blade can only be used with the large work bowl.

nThe small chopping/mixing blade can only be used with the small work bowl.

For slicing and grating/shredding use one of the reversible discs.

nUse one disc for fine slicing (2mm) and fine grating/shredding.

nUse the other disc for medium slicing (4mm) and medium grating/shredding.

Both discs are labelled accordingly.

3. Setting Up the Food Processor

A Fitting and Removing the Large Work Bowl

nPlace the food processor base on a dry, flat, sturdy surface.

nPlace the large work bowl over the motor spindle, ensuring that the handle of the bowl

is positioned to the right of the centre.

nTurn the work bowl in a clockwise direction until it locks into position on the housing

base.

nTo remove, grasp the handle and turn the work bowl anti-clockwise until it unlocks. Lift

up and away.

N.B. The work bowl may be stiff during the first few times of use.

B Fitting and Removing the Large Chopping/Mixing Blade

nSet up the large work bowl as directed in 3A.

nHolding the central plastic stem, carefully lift and place the large chopping blade over

the work bowl’s centre spindle. Push the blade down until it can go no further.

N.B. Always fit the blade in the bowl before adding ingredients.

nTo remove, hold the central plastic stem of the blade and lift up and away from the work

bowl’s centre spindle.

WARNING: Take great care when handling the blades; they are sharp and can cause

injury.
