you use them for grinding grains and spices. This does not affect
the performance of the mini chopper.
However, you may want to reserve the original bowl for grinding,
and purchase an additional bowl and cover set for other uses.
These are available from the Cuisinart Consumer Service Department,
which you can reach by dialing our toll-free number: 800-726-0190.
ADDING LIQUID
You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine
is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making
mayonnaise or salad dressing.
Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover.
IMPORTANT: Add liquid through only one opening at a time.
The other opening must be left free to allow air to escape. If both
openings are blocked, liquid cannot flow smoothly into the bowl.
REMOVING FOOD FROM THE SIDES OF THE BOWL
Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process.
Stop the machine to clear food away. AFTER THE BLADE
HAS STOPPED.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The base and parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials that
are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each
part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly.
DO NOT USE if any part is damaged, or the cup is chipped or cracked.
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, and blade
assembly on the top rack. Insert the work bowl upside down and the
cover right side up. Put the blade in the cutlery basket. 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 in water or other liquid.
The mini chopper stores neatly on the countertop, taking up a minimum
amount of space. When it is not in use, be sure to leave it unplugged.
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 chopper is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Any service
other than cleaning and normal user maintenance should be performed
by an authorized Cuisinart
