pulses, or process for less time.

sides of Prep Bowl.

• You may be processing too much
food. Carefully remove blade. Remove
food from blade with spatula, and start

CLEANING AND STORAGE:
To simplify cleaning, rinse the Prep Bowl,
cover and blade immediately after use,
so that food won't dry onto them. Wash
Blade Assembly, Sheath, Prep Bowl,
cover and spatula in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry. Wash the blade carefully.
Avoid leaving it in soapy water where it
may disappear from sight.
If you have a dishwasher, you can wash
the Prep Bowl, cover, Blade Assembly
and spatula on the upper shelf. Insert
the Prep 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 Mini-Prep

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.
