03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 10/2/03 11:34 AM Page 7 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the Cuisinart® Premier Series 14-Cup Food Processor. This product is the ultimate food preparation tool, and it comes from the originator of the American food processor, Cuisinart. The Cuisinart® Premier Series 14-Cup Food Processor has all the elements of quality that Cuisinart is known for, including a powerful motor, the largest work bowl, and the longest warranty in the industry.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 THE MACHINE INCLUDES: 1. Housing base with a vertically projecting shaft and convenient touchpad control panel. 2. 14-cup work bowl. 3. Cover with extra large feed tube. 4. Pusher assembly that slides inside the feed tube. 5. Unique metal dough blade, designed specifically for our dough speed control. 6. Sharp metal chopping/mixing blade. 8. Serrated slicing disc. 10. Shredding disc. 11. Detachable stem for discs (not shown). 12. Plastic spatula (not shown).
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 3. Turn the stem to the right, so the locking tabs are covered by the metal supports and a ‘click’ locks the stem in place. 4. With the stem facing down, place the assembly over the center hub. It should fit snugly and rest on the bottom of the work bowl. 5. Place work bowl cover onto work bowl, with the handle area just to the left of center. Turn counterclockwise to lock onto work bowl. 6.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 Before you do anything, wait for the blade to stop spinning. Once it does, turn the cover clockwise to unlock and remove by lifting it off. Remove the bowl from the base of the machine before removing the blade. This creates a seal to prevent food from leaking. Turn the bowl clockwise to unlock from the base and lift straight up to remove. To prevent the blade from falling from the work bowl onto your hand, use one of the following methods when emptying the work bowl.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 To chop parsley and other fresh herbs: The herbs, the work bowl and the metal chopping blade must all be thoroughly clean and dry. Remove stems from herbs. Add leaves to bowl and process, using the PULSE button until chopped as fine as desired. The more herbs you chop at a time, the finer chop you can obtain. If completely dry when chopped, parsley and other herbs will keep for at least 4-5 days, stored in an airtight bag in the refrigerator.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 To make mayonnaise: The work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry. Use one whole large egg, or the yolks from two large eggs. Mayonnaise made from yolks will be almost as thick as butter. You should be able to add 2/3 cup of oil for each yolk or 1-1/4 cups for a whole egg. Process the yolks or egg with salt, mustard and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for at least 30 seconds using the ON button. Then, while the machine is running, pour 1/4 cup of oil into the small pusher.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 chopped - like raisins or nuts - add them last with the mixed dry ingredients.) To make cake mix: Your food processor work bowl is large enough for the preparation of an 18.5-ounce packaged cake mix. Insert the metal blade and add the cake mix to the work bowl. Press the ON button and while the machine is running, add the eggs and liquid through the small feed tube and process for 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl and process 1 minute more for maximum volume.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 4. You can load the feed tube repeatedly without removing work bowl cover. Simply grasp the pusher and lift up. The pusher assembly will come off easily, leaving the cover and feed tube in place. Your other hand is free to reload the feed tube, and you do not need to re-press the ON button if it was previously selected. REMOVING SLICED OR SHREDDED FOOD Before you do anything, wait for the disc to stop spinning.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 SLICING MEAT AND POULTRY Cooked meat and poultry The food must be very cold. If possible, use a piece of food just large enough to fit in the feed tube. To make julienne strips of ham, bologna or luncheon meat, stack slices, then roll or fold them double and stand upright in the feed tube, wedging in as many rolls as possible. This technique works better with square or rectangular pieces than with round ones.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 at room temperature. Therefore, only attempt to slice or shred mozzarella when well chilled, and Parmesan when at room temperature. TECHNIQUES FOR KNEADING YEAST DOUGH WITH THE POWERPREP® METAL DOUGH BLADE The Premier Series 14-Cup Food Processor is designed to mix and knead dough in a fraction of the time it takes to do it by hand. You will get perfect results every time if you follow these directions. NEVER TRY TO PROCESS DOUGH THAT IS TOO STIFF TO KNEAD COMFORTABLY BY HAND.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 Adding liquids All liquid should be added through the small feed tube while the machine is running. Add liquid in a slow, steady stream, only as fast as dry ingredients absorb it. If liquid sloshes or splatters, stop adding it but do not turn off the machine. Wait until ingredients in bowl have mixed, then add remaining liquid slowly. Pour liquid onto dough as it passes under feed tube opening. Do not pour liquid directly onto bottom of bowl. Follow the recipe carefully.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 dough feels very sticky, reinsert blade and immediately add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) flour through small feed tube while machine is running. Dough doesn’t clean inside of work bowl: • Amount of dough may exceed maximum capacity of your food processor. Remove half and process in 2 batches. • Dough may be too dry. If it feels crumbly, add water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, while machine is running, until dough becomes moist and cleans inside of work bowl.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 Blade doesn’t incorporate ingredients: Butter or margarine, if not melted, must be cut into tablespoon-size pieces before being added to work bowl. Metal dough blade rises in work bowl: Blade may not have been pushed down as far as possible before processing started. Machine may be overloaded. Remove half of dough and process in 2 batches.
03CU13537 DLC-2014N IB-5056 FOR YOUR SAFETY Like all powerful electrical appliances, the Premier Series 14-Cup Food Processor should be handled with care. Follow these guidelines to protect you and your family from misuse that could cause injury. Handle and store metal blades and discs carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp. Always place discs on flat stable surface before connecting detachable stem. Never put blades or discs on the motor shaft until the work bowl is locked in place.
