INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your new Cuisinart® Mini Prep
Pro. It handles a variety of food preparation tasks,
such as chopping, grinding, puréeing, emulsifying,
and blending. The patented SmartPower
auto-reversing blade features an incredibly sharp
edge for delicate chopping and puréeing soft foods.
The reverse edge is blunt, to grind through spices
and harder foods. The exclusive BladeLock System
enables the blade to lock into the bowl, so you can
now pour ingredients out of the bowl without first
having to remove the blade.

The powerful, high-speed motor works hard and
fast to accomplish small jobs with ease. Chop
herbs, onions, garlic; grind spices, hard cheese;
