- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Use only on an appropriate benchtop and indoors only, sitting away from flammable materials such as curtains, draperies and walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if comes in contact or becomes covered during operation.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating appliance beneath or near the mini chopper.
- Do not mount or store mini chopper over or near a portion of a heating or cooking appliance, or a sink/washbasin.
- Other than the blade, bowl and cover, never submerge any portion of the mini chopper base/motor in liquids. If mini chopper falls into liquid, carefully and quickly remove. Clean and dry mini chopper thoroughly before continuing.
- Do not use this mini chopper for other than its intended use of preparing foods.
- Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as utensils, including spatulas away from the moving blades during operation. A spatula may be used when the mini chopper is not operating.
- Blade is extremely sharp. Handle carefully when removing, inserting or cleaning.
- Always allow blade to stop moving before removing cover.
- When chopping or grinding larger quantities of liquids, process smaller amounts at a time to reduce spillage and possibility of injury.
- Use extra care when working with hot liquids.
- Discontinue pulsing or processing ingredients so blade can completely stop before any form of approaching.
- e.g. removing the blade or scraping down the sides with a spatula.
- To avoid damage to the USB cord, do not let cord meet any hot surfaces including a stovetop.
- The USB power adapter and USB cable should be plugged into an electrical outlet away from sink or hot surface.
- Do not use an extension cord. Plug USB power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.
- Unplug the USB power adapter from the outlet before attempting any routine cleaning, assembling, disassembling or cleaning of the charger.
- Do not operate a damaged USB power adapter and replace immediately.
- Recharge only with the USB power adapter specified by the manufacturer. A USB power adapter (5VDC/2000mA output) that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
- Do not let USB cable hang over edge of table or counter.
- Do not expose a battery pack or mini chopper to fire or excessive heat. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.
- Do not incinerate the mini chopper, even if severely damaged; the batteries contain lithium ion which may explode in high temperatures and in a fire.
- Do not use a battery pack or mini chopper that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Under abusive/extreme conditions leaks from battery cells can occur. If the liquid gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralise with mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.
- Recommended ambient charging and storage temperature: 10°C−40°C.
- The use of attachments or accessories are not recommended by Cuisinart may be hazardous.
- Make sure the mini chopper is off and the motor/beaters have stopped completely before taking off attachments, and before cleaning.

- While cleaning do not try to dislodge any food when mini chopper is plugged in; always unplug it when cleaning.
- Any other servicing should be performed by an authorised service representative.
- DO NOT LEAVE OUTDOORS.

QUICK TIPS GUIDE
Notes, Tips
Size
| Tip: Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1-2cm or as specified in the Quick Tips Guide in the Recipe Booklet on page 2.
Tip: If you don’t start with pieces that are small & uniformed, you will not get an even chop.
Quantity
| NB: Do not overload the work bowl. Overloading causes inconsistent results & strains the motor.
Tip: As a rule of thumb, remember most foods should not reach more than 2 ⁄3 of the way up the work bowl. Use the quantities suggested in the Quick Tips Guide on page 2 of the Recipe Booklet.
Chop
| Chopping & Mincing| Puréeing & Mixing
For herbs, celery, onions, garlic & most cheeses.| For cooked vegetables,
making mayonnaise & mixing salad dressing.
Tip: Pulse action is best when you are using the – two or three pulses
are often enough. Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent over-
processing. If you over process, you are likely to get a watery paste instead
of a fine chop.
Grind
| Use the Grind function. For grinding spices & hard foods such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate & nuts.
Tip: 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.
Tip: Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the Grind function.
You may have to operate the mini chopper for several seconds with some foods to achieve the desired results – or as long as 20 seconds for some seeds.
NB: The work bowl & cover may become scratched when you use them for grinding grains & spices. This does not affect the performance of the mini chopper. However, you may want to reserve the original bowl for grinding,
& purchase an additional bowl & cover set for other uses. These are available from the Cuisinart Consumer Service Department.
Adding Liquid
| Tip: Add liquids such as water, oil or flavouring while the machine is running i.e. add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing. Pour the liquid through the drizzle holes in the cover.
Tip: Always process foods in order, from dry to wet, to avoid having to clean bowl & blade between each task.
Removing Food from the Sides of the Bowl
| NB: 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, & use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the Centre. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit is unplugged.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
- When not in use, recharge and leave unplugged ready for the next use.
- Periodically check all parts before reassembly.
- To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after use so food will not dry on them.
- All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe and recommend washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack only. Due to intense water heat, washing the work bowl and cover on the bottom rack may cause damage over time. Insert the cover right side up to ensure proper cleaning and the work bowl upside down for drainage. Put the blade in the cutlery basket and remember when unloading, to CAREFULLY remove the blade and avoid contact with the blade.
- If you wash the blade by hand, handle the plastic stem only. Avoid leaving it in sudsy water where they may disappear from sight. Fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its stem and move it rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a nonabrasive brush..
- The housing base may, be wiped clean with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Be sure to dry it thoroughly.
- If the feet leave spots, wipe the area with a damp sponge and nonabrasive cleaning detergent.
- To help keep excess cord off the benchtop, wrap the cord underneath the motor base in the hidden storage.
- Any other servicing should be performed by an authorised service representative.
