[. . . ] Frankfurters, salami and other sausages If the sausage is soft, freeze it until it is hard to the touch but easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If the sausage is thin enough to fit in the small feed tube, use that tube. Otherwise, cut the sausage into pieces to fit the large feed tube completely. Stand the pieces vertically, packing them in tightly so they cannot tilt sideways.

Liquid leaks from bottom of bowl onto motor base Remove bowl from base as soon as you finish processing. When bowl and blade are removed together, blade drops down and forms an almost perfect seal against the bowl. Liquid leaks out between bowl and cover when machine is running You added too much liquid. Never use more than 2-3/4 cups thin or 5 cups thick liquid. The thicker the liquid, the more you can use. Slices are uneven or slanted Pack feed tube more carefully, as described on pages 16 and 17. Carrot, or similar food falls over in feed tube Cut food into enough short pieces of equal height to fill feed tube. Cut carrots in half and insert one piece point down and the other stem down. Sliced or shredded food piles up on one side of work bowl This is normal. A few pieces of food remain on top of slicing or shredding disc This is normal. In most cases, you can shred more of the food by moving the large pusher up and down, allowing the piece to be shredded, or by repositioning the piece in the feed tube and reshredding it. Soft cheese like Mozzarella spreads out and collects on top of shredding disc The cheese was not cold enough, or the pressure on the pusher was too hard. To shred soft cheese, do not push­rather let the cheese go through by itself. CLEANING AND STORING Keep your food processor ready to use on the kitchen counter. Don't leave the pusher assembly in locked position; this could damage the on-off mechanism. Store the blades and discs as you would sharp knives -- out of the reach of children. [. . . ] Process with metal blade just until mixture becomes smooth and creamy. WARRANTY 46 CUISINART® PRO CUSTOM 11TM FOOD PROCESSOR LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY ON THE ENTIRE MACHINE.
