prior to assembly.
2. Insert the hopper into the left hopper
cover, lining up the 2 tabs. It will click
into place.
3. Attach the right hopper cover, ensuring it
clicks to lock into place.
4. Attach the hopper assembly to the main
body of the unit by inserting the tabs on
the bottom of hopper assembly into the
open slots on the main body.
5. Slide away from the handle to secure.
6. Insert the desired processing drum into the
hopper, being sure the end with gear is
facing out.
7. Slide the drum cover into position.
8. Attach the food pusher to the handle,
pressing it firmly into place.
9. Your multi-grater is now ready to charge.
CHARGING YOUR MULTI-GRATER
NOTE: The batteries included in this unit are not charged. Before initial use, the
batteries must be charged for 24 hours to insure maximum operating capability. For
best performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery 3 times before first use.
1. Ensure the multi-grater is properly assembled.
2. Attach the DC plug of the charger to the charging base.
3. Place assembled multi-grater onto charging base, ensuring the multi-grater
locks into place.
4. Plug charger into a 120V - 60Hz AC outlet only.
5. The red light will illuminate to indicate the main unit has been correctly placed
on charging base and that it's accepting a charge. If the red light is not illuminated, lift and reposition unit on the charging base.
6. If after repositioning, the red light is still not illuminated, check to ensure that
the power cord is securely plugged into outlet and the DC plug is securely
plugged into the charging base.

NOTE: To ensure the longest battery life, unit must be charged for a minimum of 24
hours for the initial charge.
WARNING
Do not immerse, charging base or main body in water or any other liquid. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the appliance.
CONTINUOUS CHARGING
The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is
recommended that the Cuisinart Cordless Rechargeable Multi-Grater charger be
kept plugged into a wall socket so that the grater will always be ready to use.
Leaving the unit on continuous charge is inexpensive in terms of the amount of
electricity consumed.
Use only with the charger provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to use this
charger with any other product. Likewise, do not attempt to charge this appliance
with any other charger.
HOLDING A CHARGE
The batteries hold most of their charge even when not plugged in and charging,
losing only about 30% of total charge per month.
SHORT RUN TIMES
If, after repeated use, the run time seems to get shorter and the multi-grater has less
power, remove the plug from the wall outlet and continue to use the grater until it is
fully discharged and stops operating. Plug base back into wall outlet and recharge
the unit for 16 hours or overnight for a full new charge. This procedure improves
battery capacity and should be repeated once every 2 to 3 months to ensure
optimum performance.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Grating, Shredding and Slicing

than 24 hours
1. Ensure that your multi-grater has been appropriately assembled, with the hop-
per attached to the main body and the food pusher attached to the handle.

hands, hair, clothing and any utensils away from the moving parts during operation.
Never touch the hopper or drums during operation.
