Producing A Purée; Grinding Coffee Beans And Hard Foods; Adding Liquid; Troubleshooting - Cuisinart CORDLESS MINI PREP PRO Manual

D. Producing a purée:
Cut the food into 1.5cm pieces and place in the work bowl. Use the 'Chop'
switch and a 'pulse' action to chop coarsely, then process continuously
until food is puréed.
N.B. Cooked potatoes are an exception to this procedure They develop
a gluey texture when processed with the metal blade.
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 the beans 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 the appliance is charged sufficiently.
n
Check that the work bowl and lid are securely locked into place (see
n
section A for more information).
Ensure only one control switch is being pressed at a time.
n
Food is unevenly chopped:
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces are too
n
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
n
shorter period of time.
