TIPS FOR PROCESSING FOOD
Preparing the Food
Size
Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1-2cm in size or as specified
in the User Guide on page 8. If you don't start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not
get an even chop.
Quantity
Do not overload the work bowl. Overloading causes inconsistent results and it strains the motor. As
a rule of thumb, most foods should not reach more than two-thirds of the way up the work bowl.
Use the quantities given in the user guide and online recipe booklet as a guide.
NOTE: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, we recommend using one hand to
support the Cuisinart
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, work bowl, and cover in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wash
the blade carefully. Avoid leaving blade in soapy water where it may disappear from sight.
The work bowl and cover can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Insert the work bowl
upside down and the cover right side up. The blade can be washed 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 liquids.
The Mini Chopper stores neatly on the benchtop. 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 benchtop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Store the blade as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children.
The Mini Chopper is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
