INTRODUCTION  
PARTS AND FEATURES  
The versatile Cuisinart® PrepExpress™  
Handheld Food Processor puts expert food  
preparation at your fingertips. This elegant  
unit slices, shreds and grates with ease. Just

operate it on the countertop – either way it’s  
fast, powerful and safe to use.

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.  
2. Insert food chamber into base.  
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.  
3. Twist food chamber on base to lock  
position.  
6
4. Maximum rating of 1.8 amperes is based  
on attachment that draws greatest  
current. Other recommended attachments  
may draw significantly less current.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Like all powerful electrical appliances, the  
Cuisinart® PrepExpressHandheld Food  
Processor should be handled with care.  
Follow these guidelines to protect yourself  
and your family from misuse that could  
cause injury.  
CLEANING AND STORAGE  
Keep your food processor ready to use  
on a kitchen counter. When not in use,  
leave it unplugged.  
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.  
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.  
Always unplug the unit before removing food,  
cleaning, or putting on or taking off parts.  
Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully  
where the sharp drums are located.  
SAFETY FEATURES  
The motor in your PrepExpressHandheld  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
