Grinding Coffee Beans And Hard Foods; Adding Liquid; Troubleshooting - Cuisinart CH4BCU User Manual

E . Grinding coffee beans and hard foods:
Add coffee or hard food to the work bowl. Use the 'GRIND' switch and process using a
continuous action until desired consistency is reached. Coffee beans may take slightly
longer to process, so use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to
the bottom of the work bowl.
F . Adding liquid:
You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavouring while the appliance is running. Pour
the liquid through one of the two openings in the lid.
N .B . Add liquid through only one opening at a time . The other opening must be left
free for air to circulate .

Troubleshooting

Motor does not start or blade does not rotate:
Check that plug is securely inserted into the mains.
Check that work bowl and lid are securely locked into place.
Ensure only one control switch is being pressed at a time.
Food is unevenly chopped:
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are too large. Try
cutting food into smaller pieces of an even size and processing a smaller amount per
batch.
Food is chopped too fine or is watery:
The food has been over-processed. Use brief pulses or process for a shorter period of
time.
Food collects on lid or sides of work bowl:
You may be processing too much food. Turn the appliance off. When blade stops
moving remove lid and clean work bowl and lid with spatula. 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.
Food gets stuck on blade:
You may be processing too much food. Turn the appliance off. When blade stops
moving, carefully remove blade. Remove food from blade and work bowl using a spatula
and start again.
