NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).

INTRODUCTION
The Cuisinart®Mini-Prep®Processor
handles a variety of food preparation
tasks including chopping, grinding,
puréeing, emulsifying and blending.
The patented two-position blade
provides a super-sharp edge for the
delicate chopping of herbs, and for
blending and puréeing other soft foods,
while the blunt edge offers a powerful
cutting surface to grind through coffee
beans, spices and other hard foods.
Two operating speeds with pulse
activation give maximum control for
precision processing.
A powerful high-speed motor works
hard and fast to accomplish any small
job with ease. Chop herbs, onions,
garlic; grind coffee beans, spices,
hard cheese; purée baby foods; blend
mayonnaise and flavored butters all
with the same compact appliance.
The Mini- Prep
®
takes up a minimum
of counter space and stores neatly on
the countertop or in a cabinet.

HOLDING RIBS (grips) ONLY. DO NOT
TOUCH THE RAZOR-SHARP BLADES.
Note these important features of the
Blade Assembly.
• The Assembly can be placed over
the Sheath in two different ways.
If you hold it this way (A), you will
see the word "Sharp" on the blade.
Assemble the blade this side up to use
the sharp edge. (See the section on
processing food for information about
when to use the sharp edge.)
If you hold it this way (B), you will see
no writing on the blade. Assemble the
blade this side up to use the blunt edge.
(See the section on processing food
for infor-mation about when to use the
blunt edge.)
• There are notches (C) on opposite
sides of the interior of the hub.
These
fit over ridges on the sides of
the Sheath.
Place the Sheath, handle side up,
on a flat surface. Pick up the Blade
Assembly by its hub holding ribs (grips)
and line up the notches in the interior of
the hub with the ridges on the sides of
the Sheath. Let the Blade Assembly
slide down to the bottom of the Sheath.
Lift the Sheath by its handle. Hold the
Blade Assembly by its hub holding
ribs (grips) and turn it very slightly
clockwise. This locks it in place on
the Sheath and prevents it from
sliding up during processing.
4. Hold the Sheath by
its top handle, place
it over the central
opening of the Bowl,
and slide the Sheath
down over the motor
shaft. The lower blade
