bowl, with feed tube at about 11 o’clock. Turn the cover
clockwise until it fits into position. Cover lock must click into

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.

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.
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.
Always use the Food Processor button for pulse/chopping.
Never turn cover back and forth to start and stop processor.
USING THE POWERBLEND DUET
®
BLENDER/FOOD
PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX
Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on pages 8–9.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through the
open feed tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise
or dressings.
Operating Instructions For Cuisinart Food Processor
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.
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:
1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove
food from around blade. Carefully remove
blade by the plastic hub.
