Processing - Cuisinart CH4BCU User Manual

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 .

Processing

1. Fit the work bowl and blade (refer to section A).
2. Ensure you use the correct action (refer to section C) that is appropriate for the food
to be processed (refer to 'Processing Techniques' for further details).
3. Place food in the work bowl. Ensure food is cut into small evenly sized pieces and the
work bowl is not overloaded.
4. Lock the lid into position.
5. Press the appropriate control switch i.e. 'CHOP' or 'GRIND', depending on the food you
are processing, for the required amount of time (refer to 'Processing Techniques for
further details).
6. Wait for the blade to stop moving. Unplug the appliance and remove the lid & work
bowl.
7. To remove liquids and sauces from bowl, simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. The
BladeLock System keeps blade safely in place.
8. To remove thicker ingredients from bowl, carefully remove the blade assembly, holding
it by the top of the plastic central stem. Gently pull up to disengage blade lock and
remove blade from the work bowl. Remove food with a spatula.
Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the work bowl as you process. If this happens,
stop the appliance. After the blade has stopped moving, remove the lid and use the
spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the work bowl back into the centre. Do not
use your hand.
You can also reverse the motor by alternating between 'CHOP' and 'GRIND' . This will help
to combine the ingredients and clean the sides of the work bowl.
N .B . Do not operate without food contents in the work bowl .
