in any way. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair
or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. This appliance comes with a resettable
protection device to prevent damage to the
motor in the the case of extreme overload.
Should unit shut off unexpectedly, unplug it and
let it cool for at least 15 minutes before
continuing.
Operation
1. Keep hands and other utensils away from Cutting
Cones while processing food to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury or damage to
the PrepExpress™.
2. Avoid coming into contact with moving parts.
Never push food down Feed Tube by hand.
Always use Pusher.
3. Make sure motor has completely stopped before
removing Feed Tube. (If machine does not stop

NOTES ON THE
CORD PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
NOTES ON THE CORD
1. A short power-supply cord (or
detachable power-supply cord) is
provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer, detachable power-supply cords
or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long, detachable power-supply cord
or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
b. If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
c. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped
over.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
Do not put power cord, plug or motor unit in
water or other liquids.
• Disassemble all the accessories such as
Feed Tubes, Cutting Cones and Cutting
Cone Holder.
• Rinse under running water and remove food
scraps with Cleaning Brush.
• Wipe the outside surface of the motor unit
with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
• All removable parts are top rack dishwasher
safe.
• Clean all accessories after each use.
CAUTION:
• Ensure that the motor unit is unplugged
when disassembling.
• The blades are sharp; please handle
carefully when cleaning.
NOTE: Never immerse the motor unit in water
for cleaning.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
TIPS & HINTS
• Choose vegetables and fruits that are firm
and not overripe.
• Ingredients do not need to be cut to fit the
height of the Feed Tube. Some ingredients,
however, may need to be trimmed to fit the
width of the Feed Tube.
• Sometimes, if ingredients are too wide to fit
through the Straight Feed Tube for
spiralizing, they can first be placed directly
into the Cutting Cone before assembling the
Feed Tube. If ingredient is still too wide to fit
the Feed Tube, the sides may be pared
down.
• Before spiralizing, slightly trim tops and
bottoms of ingredients to form a flat
surface. This will help secure the food to the
Pusher.
• Make sure Pusher is firmly inserted into the
desired ingredient before spiralizing.
• Put the narrowest end of the food into the
Feed Tube first.
• Round items that fit the Straight Feed Tube
spiralize best.
• Use consistent pressure when spiralizing/
slicing/shredding to achieve the most even
cuts.
• Switching between spiralizing and slicing
and shredding is easy—simply switch the
Feed Tube.
• When continuously processing ingredients,
remove the remaining scrap from the
Cutting Cone before processing the next
ingredient.
• If the machine runs for a long time (around
60 minutes) and shuts off, the unit may have
overheated. Your machine has an overload
protection device. It will shut down to
protect the motor. Turn off and unplug the
unit, and let it rest for a few minutes. The
machine will be recovered for use.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,
California residents have the option of returning a

Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion,
either repair the product, refer the consumer to an
independent repair facility, replace the product, or
refund the purchase price less the amount directly
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the
product. If the above options do not result in the
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent repair
facility if service or repair can be economically
accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will
be responsible for the reasonable cost of such
service, repair, replacement, or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to
their preference, return nonconforming products
directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
