3. Twist food chamber on base to lock position. USE AND CARE 1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and other utensils away from moving drums while processing food, to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the food processor. A plastic scraper may be used, but only when the food processor motor is stopped. 2. Avoid contact with moving parts. Never push food down into feed tube by hand when slicing, shredding, or grating. Always use pusher. 3. The exterior of the drums are sharp. Store drums as you would other sharp objects, out of reach of children. 4. Maximum rating of 1.8 amperes is based on attachment that draws greatest current. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current. cleaning and storage Keep your food processor ready to use on a kitchen counter. When not in use, leave it unplugged. The exterior of the drums are sharp. Store the drums, as you would sharp knives, out of the reach of children. All parts except the housing base are dishwasher-safe, and we recommend washing them in the top rack of the dishwasher only. Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully where the sharp drums are located. To simplify cleaning, rinse the pusher, drums, and food chamber immediately after use, so food won't dry on them. If you wash drums by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. Use of a spray attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a brush. The housing base is made of a tough plastic with high impact resistance. Its smooth surface will look new for years. Keep a sponge handy as you work, and wipe spills from the base. Two rubber feet on the underside keep the base from moving on most work surfaces when the machine is processing heavy loads. If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray them with a spot remover and wipe with a damp sponge. If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the procedure and wipe the area with a damp sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder. Dry completely. for your safety Like all powerful electrical appliances, the Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Handheld Food Processor should be handled with care. Follow these guidelines to protect yourself and your family from misuse that could cause injury. Handle and store metal drums carefully. Their cutting edges are very sharp. When slicing, shredding, or grating food, always use the pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula into feed tube. Always unplug the unit before removing food, cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts. Safety features The motor in your PrepExpress™ Handheld Food Processor operates on standard line operating current. The appropriate voltage and frequency for your machine are shown on the lower housing under the base. Safety switches prevent the machine from operating when the drum and feed tube are not locked into position. The motor stops within seconds when the motor is turned off. 5 6
