Troubleshooting - Cuisinart MINI PREP PRO Instructions Manual

N.B. Cooked potatoes are an exception to this procedure. They develop a gluey
texture when processed with the metal blade.
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 the beans to drop to the bottom of the work bowl.
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.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

Motor does not start or blade does not rotate:
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the mains.
Check that the work bowl and lid are securely locked into place (see section A for more information).
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 the blade stops moving remove
the lid and clean the work bowl and lid with the 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 the blade stops moving, carefully
remove it. Remove food from the blade and work bowl using a spatula, and start again.
