Unpacking
Carefully remove the power unit from its packaging and place it on the counter so it is ready to use. As you remove the accessories from the carton, check them against figure 1 to assure that all the standard parts are present.
Electrical Specifications
Check to make sure that the voltage on which your food processor is to operate is the same as specified on the rating plate. Standard North American models have an electrical power rating of 530-watt maximum power rating with the attachment that draws the most power (some attachments may draw less power).
Before Using for the First Time
Before using any of the attachments for the first time it is recommended they be washed, rinsed well and dried. Of the attachments supplied with the systems in this manual, all parts, except the blender’s jar/blade assembly, are dishwasher safe:
>The blender’s jar/blade assembly should be washed under running water and dried.
Note: It is recommended that the blender jar/blade assembly never be left to stand in water or soap solution, to prevent the bearing lubricant from being washed out.

Built-in Safety Cutout
The Bosch Food Processors are provided with a built-in safety cutout to protect the motor against overheating.
If the safety cutout should open:
a.Turn the processor to the off position “O/Off” and unplug.
b.Contact Bosch Small Appliances Customer Support, see page 6, for closest Bosch authorized service center.
c.Take, or ship, the food processor to a Bosch authorized service center to have the safety cutout replaced.
Safety Cover Interlock
The Bosch Food Processor incorporate in their design a special safety feature; the Safety Cover Interlock, figure 2c. This feature prevents the rotary switch from being turned from the Off position, “O/Off,” if cover has not been placed on the bowl properly and rotated to trip the Safety Cover Interlock.
Safety Motor Drive Cover
Another special safety feature incorporated in the Bosch Food Processors is the Safety Motor Drive Cover, figure 2d. The Safety Motor Drive Cover must be in place on the high speed blender drive when not in use or the motor will not start when turned to one of its On positions, or if removed while power unit is running will bring the power unit to a stop.
Dual drives
The Bosch Food Processors come with three drives:
•A high-speed drive directly coupled to the motor, used to drive the blender and other special accessories, located under the Safety Motor Drive Cover, figure 2e.
•A dual drive, figure 2f, used by bowl accessories: one high-torque drive used to drive dough hook, citrus juicer and other special accessories requiring high torque; and, a high speed drive used to drive the multifunction blade, beater, whipping whisk and other accessories requiring higher speeds.
Convenient cord storage
The MCM 5200 UC model stores the cord internally, on an automatic cord winder, see figure 2g.
Four rubber feet
Four rubber feet provide the ultimate in stability, while also serving to isolate the power unit from the hard surface to minimize noise and vibration, figure 2h.
Special features of mixing bowl
The mixing bowl has a number of special features:
Dual feeding tube
The three-quart capacity mixing bowl comes with two feeding tubes molded into the cover. The small tube may be used for slicing or grating items that you wish to stand on end.
Pusher/measuring cup
In addition to its ability to act as both a pusher and a measuring cup, the slimmer portion of the pusher has a hole at the bottom to allow it top be used as a funnel when liquids need to be added to the mixture in the bowl. See figure 3a.
Filling tray
The MCM 5200 UC, Bosch Food Processor, also comes with a filling tray that can be mounted on the feeding funnel to simplify the feeding of material into the bowl, figure 3b.

Getting Started
The operation of your Bosch Food Processor is summarized below.
Specific instructions for using each of the attachments, provided with the food processor systems covered by this manual, follow the summarized instructions. Please read the specific instructions thoroughly before using that attachment, paying particular attention to the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and WARNINGS provided.
1.Place power unit on suitable work surface.
Before using the food processor with any of the attachments, the power unit should be placed on a suitable work surface. The surface should be sturdy, smooth and clean; make sure that there is no flour or oil on the surface. A clean, smooth surface will provide the best footing for the suction cup feet on the power unit and will limit slipping and/or “walking,” see figure 2h.
2.Plug power unit into power supply.
Pull the power unit’s cord out to appropriate length and plug it into a convenient nearby outlet.
3.Select attachment to be used.
Select the attachment you wish to use.
4.Cover the drive not being used.
If dual drive is to be used for selected attachment, make sure that safety motor drive cover is placed over the
high speed blender drive and pressed down until it snaps in place.
If high speed blender drive is to be used, remove the safety motor drive cover from the high speed blender drive and place mixing bowl over dual drive and turn clockwise to lock into position as shown in figure 4a. Next place the mixing bowl cover, with pusher/measuring cup in the feeding tube, on the bowl. Make sure arrows on cover and bowl are aligned, so that tabs on bowl fit into channels in cover and then turn cover clockwise until tab on cover enters cover interlock and turn until tab clicks into place, figure 4b.

6.Operate unit with rotary switch.
Once the attachment is in place, the speed of its moving components can be controlled through the use of the rotary switch at the front of the power unit. See figure 2. The rotary switch has six or four positions, depending on the model you have:
All MCM models have the following:
a.“M,” a momentary “pulse” position that provides full speed and power for the time it is held in position.
b.“O/Off,” the off position.
The MCM 5000 and 5100have2speeds
c.Two speeds labeled 1 and 2. Speed 1 is the lowest speed.
The MCM 5200 has 4 speeds:
d.Four speeds labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. Speed 1 is the lowest speed. The speed increases with each succeeding step up to the highest speed, speed 4.
All models of the Bosch Food Processor incorporate a built-in safety cutout switch to protect the motor against overheating. If the safety becomes activated, the power unit will stop. If power unit should stop even though there is power to the unit see TROUBLESHOOTING at the back of this manual .
7.Turn power unit off.
When your work with the attachment is completed or the capacity of the batch-feed attachment has been reached, turn the power unit to the Off position, “O/Off,” and unplug.
8.Remove the attachment.
Remove the attachment from the power unit, per instructions for the specific attachment being used.
9.Continue use.
If the attachment was of the batch-feed type and you wish to continue using the attachment, empty the bowl or jar of the attachment per its specific instructions and reinstall the attachment as before. Repeat steps 5 through 8 as often as necessary to complete work.
10.Work completed, remove attachment.
If the attachment is of the continuous feed type or is the batch type and you have completed the work you wished to perform with the attachment, remove the attachment from the power unit per the instructions for the specific attachment being used.
11.Place contents (batch-feed type).
If the attachment is the batch feed type, disassemble per the specific attachment’s instructions and place the contents in a suitable container.
12.Care and cleaning.
Once you have completed working with the Bosch Food Processor, the next step is to disassemble and clean the attachments. If you wish to use another attachment, please return to step 3, above.
