You are a consumer if you are the owner of a Cuisinart® Mini-Mate Plus® Chopper/Grinder that was purchased for household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable state laws, this warranty is not available to retailers or to other commercial purchasers or owners.

[. . . ] Grip motor housing and place it over work bowl. The power cord, as well as the control buttons, should be at the rear. 7. Insert stainless steel motor shaft into center opening of blade/shaft assembly. Place motor housing directly over work bowl and fit it into work bowl. Insert plug from motor housing into household electrical outlet. With other hand, press down firmly on motor housing and press one control button either HI/I for high speed or LO/II for low speed. To turn motor off, release control button. As motor comes to a stop, you may hear a few clicks from the blade/shaft assembly. Lift motor housing straight up from work bowl after motor has stopped. First, release it from post by twisting hub gently clockwise while exerting slight upward pressure. Then pull straight up on blade shaft, moving blade away from you. With spatula, scrape food off blade into work bowl. Remove food from work bowl with spatula. USES Chop, grate and grind small amounts of food. For your convenience, we have listed a number of ingredients alphabetically. 5 6 Ingredient Blade Position/Speed Sharp/ Low anchovies bacon butter celery cheese X X X X Blunt/ High Comments USEFUL OPERATING TECHNIQUES Size must be cooked crisp must be very soft, of spreading consistency grate no more than 2 ounces (55g); start with 1/2 ounce (15g), chop additional cheese 1/2 ounce at a time must be chilled must be chilled High must be chilled must be at room temperature grate no more than 1 ounce (28g) at a time must be refrigerated must be frozen grind no more than 1/2 cup (35g) at a time Always cut large pieces of food into even pieces of about 1/2 inch (12mm) in size. If you do not put in small, even-size pieces, you will not get an even chop. Timing The blade action is lightning fast, even faster than a food processor. You will be astonished at how quickly it does its job. To use the Mini-Mate Plus® Chopper/Grinder effectively, try to think about time in a new way: everything happens in seconds or even fractions of seconds. Pulsing Action When using the sharp edge of the blade for chopping, operate the unit for only a fraction of a second. Use pulse action by pressing and releasing the control button until the food is chopped. One to three pulses are enough to chop most food.
