Instructions For Use

A. Fitting & removing the parts

Place the housing base on a flat, dry, stable surface.

Locate the Cuisinart logo on the bottom of the work bowl. Place the work bowl over the motor shaft

with the logo facing the front and to the left of the centre. Rotate the work bowl in an anticlockwise

direction until it locks into position on the housing base.

Carefully lift the blade assembly, holding the central plastic stem and place over the motor shaft. The

lower blade of the blade assembly should almost touch the bottom of the work bowl.

ALWAYS HOLD THE BLADE ASSEMBLY FROM THE CENTRAL PLASTIC STEM.

NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE IT IS VERY SHARP.

Always insert the blade in the work bowl before adding ingredients.

NEVER PLACE THE BLADE ON THE MOTOR SHAFT UNTIL THE WORK BOWL IS LOCKED INTO

PLACE.

Place the lid over the work bowl. Ensure the descending tab is positioned to the right of the interlock

slot on the column of the housing base. While holding the housing base, with your left hand, securely

grip the handle on the top of the lid and rotate in an anticlockwise direction until the descending tab

locks into the interlock slot.

N.B. If the tab does not lock in the slot, the motor will not start.

To remove the lid, hold the housing base with your left hand, securely grip the handle on the top of the

lid and rotate it in a clockwise direction.

N.B. Make sure the motor has completely stopped and the blade has stopped moving before removing

the lid.

To remove the blade, simply lift the blade away from the motor shaft holding the central plastic stem.

To remove the work bowl, hold the housing base with your left hand, hold the work bowl with your

right hand and rotate in a clockwise direction to unlock and lift away from the housing base.

B. The Dual Blade

edge for grinding.

C. Control Switches

To start operation, simply press one of the two speed switches and hold down for the desired length of

time.

Use the ‘CHOP’ speed switch for chopping, puréeing and mixing food with the sharp edge of the blade.

Use the ‘GRIND’ speed switch for grinding and for chopping hard food with the blunt edge of the

blade.

A ‘Pulse’ action is best when you are using the sharp edge of the blade. Two or three pulses are often

enough.Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent over-processing. Over-processing will result

in a watery paste instead of a fine chop.

N.B. Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, we recommend using one hand to support

the Mini Processor during operation.

Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the grind function. You may have to operate the

Mini Processor for several seconds to achieve the desired results with some food, as long as 20 seconds

for some seeds, or 40 seconds for coffee beans. When you operate the unit for more than 10 seconds,

use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to the bottom of the work bowl.This

provides more consistent results.

IMPORTANT: NEVER OPERATE THE MINI PROCESSOR CONTINUOUSLY FOR

LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE AT A TIME
