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. If you have a dishwasher,
you can wash the work bowl, cover, blade
assembly, and spatula on the top rack. 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 Mini-Prep
®
Plus Processor 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 counter-
top. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss
of parts. Store the blades as you would sharp
knives – out of the reach of children.
The Mini-Prep
®
Plus Processor is intended
for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Maintenance:
Any other servings should be performed by an
authorized Cuisinart Service Representative.
