9. To remove liquids and sauces from bowl:
Simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. Our conve-
nient BladeLock System keeps blade safely in place.
10. To remove thicker ingredients from bowl:
Carefully remove the blade assembly by holding the
handle on the top of the sheath and gently pulling up
to disengage blade lock. Remove food with spatula.
NOTE: HANDLE WITH CARE – THE BLADE IS NOT
PERMANENT.
Tips: Always process foods in order, from dry to wet,
to avoid having to clean bowl and blade between each
task.
Never operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection
Grinder without ingredients in the work bowl.
CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
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 disap-
pear from sight. The work bowl, cover, blade assembly,
and spatula can be washed on the top rack of a dish-
washer. Insert the work bowl upside down and the cover
right side up. Put the blade and spatula in the cutlery
basket. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid con-
tact 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 Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder stores
neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. When
it is not in use, be sure to leave it unplugged. The hid-
den 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.
