TO REMOVE PREP BOWL
1. Turn the work bowl cover clockwise and
remove.
2. Turn the work bowl clockwise to unlock
and lift off of the base.
3. Carefully remove the blade by lifting it up
from the hub.
CLEANING
AND STORAGE
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover,
and blade immediately after each use, so that
food won’t dry on them. Wash blade assembly,
work bowl, cover, and spatula in warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry. Wash the blade carefully.
Avoid leaving blade in soapy water where it may
disappear from sight. If you have a dishwasher,
you can wash the work bowl, cover, blade
assembly, and spatula on the top rack. Insert the
work bowl upside down and the cover right side
up. Put the blade and spatula in the cutlery bas-
ket. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid
contact with the sharp blade.
Wipe the motor base clean with a damp sponge
or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the
motor base or the plug in water or other liquid.
The Mini-Prep
®
Plus Processor stores neatly on
the countertop in a minimum of space. When it is
not in use, be sure to leave it unplugged. The
hidden cord storage underneath the motor base
will help to keep excess cord off the countertop.
Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of
parts. Store the blades as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children.
The Mini-Prep
®
Plus Processor is intended for
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Any service other
than cleaning and normal user maintenance
should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart
Service Representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Motor doesn't start or blade doesn't rotate.
• Check that plug is securely inserted into outlet.
• Check that work bowl and cover are securely
locked into place.
• Be sure to press only one operation control
button at a time.
Food is unevenly chopped.
• Either you are chopping too much food at one
time, or the pieces are not small enough. Try
cutting food into smaller pieces of even size
and processing a smaller amount per batch.
Food is chopped too fine or is watery.
• The food has been overprocessed. Use brief
pulses, or process for a shorter time. Let blade
stop completely between pulses.
Food collects on work bowl cover or sides of
prep bowl.
• You may be processing too much food. Turn
machine off. When blade stops rotating,
remove cover, and clean bowl and lid with
spatula.
Food catches on blade.
• You may be processing too much food.
Carefully remove blade. Remove food from
blade with spatula, and start over again.
