INTRODUCTION
The versatile Cuisinart® PrepExpress™
Handheld Food Processor puts expert food
preparation at your fingertips. This elegant
unit slices, shreds and grates with ease. Just
pick it up to process directly into a bowl or
operate it on the countertop – either way it’s
fast, powerful and safe to use.
PARTS AND FEATURES
1. Motorized housing base with on/off
switch and handle
2. Food chamber
3. Pusher
4. Slicing drum
5. Shredding drum
6. Grating/Fine Shredding drum
ASSEMBLY/USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select the drum that will be used and
insert it into the chute opening. The
exterior metal portions of the drums are
sharp. Handle them carefully.
2.
Attach the food chamber assembly to
the motorized base. With the handle in
your right hand and holding the food
chamber at a 15° angle, line up the line
on the food chamber with the line on the
housing. The driving end of the assembly
must be fully inserted into the socket of
the motorized base. Next, while pushing
the food chamber assembly firmly in
toward the handle, rotate the assembly
counterclockwise until it is upright and
it is centered with the handle.
3.
Plug cord in and load the food chamber.
For best results, it is important that the
food be prepared and properly placed
in the food chamber as follows:
•
Cut food so that it will easily fit into the
feed tube.
•
Stack food upright into the feed tube
for short pieces or vertically for longer
pieces.
4.
Begin processing by pushing down the
switch and evenly pushing the food
down, using the pusher.
5.
The processed food will be released from
the front of the unit, directly into your
bowl or platter.

USE AND CARE
1. Keep hands as well as spatulas and
other utensils away from moving drums
while processing food, to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury or
damage to the food processor. A plastic
scraper may be used, but only when the
food processor motor is stopped.
2.
Avoid contact with moving parts. Never
push food down into feed tube by hand
when slicing, shredding, or grating.
Always use pusher.
3.
The exterior of the drums are sharp.
Store drums as you would other sharp
objects, out of reach of children.
4.
Maximum rating of 1.8 amperes is based
on attachment that draws greatest
current. Other recommended attachments
may draw significantly less current.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
Keep your food processor ready to use
on a kitchen counter. When not in use,
leave it unplugged.
The exterior of the drums are sharp. Store
the drums, as you would sharp knives, out
of the reach of children. All parts except the
housing base are dishwasher-safe, and we
recommend washing them in the top rack
of the dishwasher only.
Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully
where the sharp drums are located.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the pusher, drums,
and food chamber immediately after use, so
food won’t dry on them.
If you wash drums by hand, do it carefully.
Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they
may disappear from sight. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective. If necessary,
use a brush. The housing base is made of a
tough plastic with high impact resistance. Its
smooth surface will look new for years. Keep
a sponge handy as you work, and wipe spills
from the base.
Two rubber feet on the underside keep the
base from moving on most work surfaces
when the machine is processing heavy loads.
If the feet leave spots on the counter, spray
them with a spot remover and wipe with a
damp sponge.
If any trace of the spot remains, repeat the
procedure and wipe the area with a damp
sponge and nonabrasive cleaning powder.
Dry completely.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Like all powerful electrical appliances, the
Cuisinart
®
PrepExpress™ Handheld Food
Processor should be handled with care.
Follow these guidelines to protect yourself
and your family from misuse that could
cause injury.
Handle and store metal drums carefully. Their
cutting edges are very sharp. When slicing,
shredding, or grating food, always use the
pusher. Never put your fingers or a spatula
into feed tube.
Always unplug the unit before removing food,
cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.
SAFETY FEATURES
The motor in your PrepExpress™ Handheld
Food Processor operates on standard line
operating current. The appropriate voltage
and frequency for your machine are shown
on the lower housing under the base.
Safety switches prevent the machine from
operating when the drum and feed tube are
not locked into position. The motor stops
within seconds when the motor is turned off.
3. Twist food chamber on base to lock
position.
