TIPS FOR PROCESSING FOOD

Preparing the Food

Size
Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1 ⁄2 inch (12mm) to a side or as specified under Operation/ Technique on pages 6 and 7. 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, remember most foods should not reach more than 2 ⁄3 of the way up the workbowl. Use the quantities given in the charts and recipe section as a guide.
Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, it is recommended to use one hand to support the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/ Grinder during operation.
Selecting the Right Operating Control
Use the Chop function for chopping, puréeing
and mixing. It is the right choice, for example, for chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for puréeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise, and mixing salad dressing.
Pulse action is best when you are using the Chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough. Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent overprocessing. If you overprocess, you are likely to get a watery paste instead of a fine chop.
Use the Grind function for grinding spices, and for chopping hard food such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts.

Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the Grind function. You may have to operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/ Grinder for several seconds with some food to achieve the desired results – or as long as 20 seconds for some seeds.
When you operate the unit for more than 10 seconds, use a pulse action every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to the bottom of the work bowl. This provides more consistent results.
Never operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder continuously for longer than 1 minute at a time.
Note: The work bowl and cover may become scratched when you use them for grinding grain and spices. This does not affect the performance of the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder.
However, you may want to reserve the original bowl for grinding, and purchase an additional bowl and cover set for other uses. These are available from the Cuisinart Customer Service Department, which you can reach by dialing our toll-free number: 800-726-0190.
Adding Liquid
You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover.
IMPORTANT: Add liquid through only one opening at a time. The other opening must be left free to allow air to escape. If both openings are blocked, liquid cannot flow smoothly into the bowl.
Removing Food from the Sides of the Bowl Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear food away. AFTER THE BLADE HAS STOPPED MOVING, remove the cover, and use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit is unplugged.
Note: Handle with care – the blade is not permanent.

PROCESSING FOOD

1. Place the work bowl firmly on the motor base. Opening at back of bowl must face column at back of the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder. Turn bowl counterclockwise to lock in place.

2. Insert the blade assembly. Carefully pick up the blade by its hub and place on the center stem until it drops to the bottom of the stem.
   Firmly push to lock the blade into position.
   NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF AND NOTE THE BLADE IS NOT PERMANENTLY LOCKED.

3. Place food in the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded.

4. Lock the cover into position.

5. Press the appropriate Chop or Grind control, depending on the food you are processing.

6. When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine by releasing the control button.

7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the unit. Remove cover and work bowl
   a. Turn work bowl cover clockwise to remove.
   b. Turn work bowl clockwise to unlock it and lift it off base.
   NOTE: Thicker ingredients can be removed while work bowl is still on base.

8. To remove liquids and sauces from bowl: Simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. Our convenient BladeLock System keeps blade safely in place.

9. To remove thicker ingredients from bowl: Carefully remove the blade assembly by holding the handle on the top of the sheath and gently pulling up to disengage blade lock. Remove food with spatula.

NOTE: HANDLE WITH CARE – THE BLADE IS NOT PERMANENT.

Tips: Always process foods in order, from dry to wet, to avoid having to clean bowl and blade between each task.
Never operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder without ingredients in the work bowl.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after each use, so that food won’t dry on them. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover, and spatula 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, cover, blade assembly, and spatula can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Insert the work
bowl upside down and the cover right side up.
Put the blade and spatula 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 liquid.
The Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. 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 countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Store the blades as you would sharp knives – out of the reach of children.
The Cuisinart Elite Collection® Chopper/Grinder is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
MAINTENANCE: Any service other than cleaning and normal user maintenance should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart® Service Representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Motor doesn’t start or blade doesn’t rotate.

• Check that plug is securely inserted into outlet.

  Food is unevenly chopped.

• Try cutting food into smaller, even-sized pieces.

• Try processing smaller amounts of food per batch.
  Food is chopped too fine or is watery.

• The food has been overprocessed. Use brief pulses, or process for a shorter time. Let blade stop completely between pulses.
