CHOPPING AND GRINDING
Processing Food
1. Place the prep bowl firmly on a flat sturdy surface like a
countertop. Be sure the blade is assembled to use the
blade edge that is appropriate for the food to be pro-
cessed.
2. Place food in the prep bowl. Be sure the food is cut into
small pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded.
3. Place the chopper/grinder cover on top of the prep bowl.
Be sure the cover is properly seated.
4. Press the On/Off button on the hand blender.
5. Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment for longer
than 15 seconds at a time.
Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit,
Cuisinart recommends using one hand to support the
chopper/grinder during operation.
6. When you have finished processing the food, stop the
machine by taking your fingers off the On/Off button.
7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, remove the hand
blender motor body from the chopper/grinder cover, and
remove the cover from the chopper/grinder.
8. Carefully remove the blade assembly, holding it by the grip
-
ping ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE
BLADE ITSELF.

Note: Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment
without food contents in the prep bowl.
