1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. To protect against electrical shock, fire and injury to
persons, do not immerse the multi-grater, charging base,
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
3. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
4. Unplug charger base from outlet before cleaning.
5. Charger base should be plugged into an electrical
outlet away from sink or hot surfaces.
6. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance has malfunctioned or

or compost batteries, as they will combust at high temperatures.
11. Do not incinerate the multi-grater, even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

are completely dry prior
to assembly.

the left hopper cover,
lining up the 2 tabs. It

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.

CHARGING YOUR MULTI-GRATER

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 cable 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,

If problem persists, please contact our Customer Service
Center at 1-800-726-0190 to have your multi-grater
replaced.

WARNING
Do not immerse charger, 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
NOTE: Before initial use, be sure the batteries have been
charged for no less than 24 hours
1. Ensure that your multi-grater has been appropriately
assembled, with the hopper attached to the main body and
the food pusher attached to the handle.
2. Lift the handle from the main body to prevent accidentally
activating the unit while attaching accessories. The multigrater is designed with a safety interlock that prevents the
unit from turning on when the handle is in the open position.
3. Insert the desired processing drum into the hopper. Refer
to the section Tips for Using Your Cordless Rechargeable
Multi-Grater on page 7 and for suggested uses for each
drum.
4. Place the drum cover onto the side of the hopper to secure
the drum in place.
5. Place your chosen food into the hopper and lower the handle, being sure that the piece inserted is sized appropriately. If the piece of food is too large, it may prevent the unit’s
handle from lowering far enough to initiate power.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury to persons, and /or
damage to the unit, keep hands, hair, clothing and any utensils
away from the appliance during operation. Never touch the
hopper or drums during operation.

refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the
consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not
result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take

responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement,
or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
