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
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 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 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.
Maintenance:
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.
