Frequently Asked Questions - SPI-50 CUISINART

How do I adjust the slicing thickness on the Cuisinart SPI-50?

Turn the thickness knob located on the side of the machine. It allows adjustments from 0 to 15 mm. Always adjust with the machine turned off.

Can I slice frozen meat with this slicer?

No, the SPI-50 is designed for fresh or chilled meats only. Frozen meat can damage the blade and motor. Partially frozen meat may be sliced if it is not too hard.

How do I clean the blade?

Unplug the slicer. Remove the blade guard and carriage. The blade can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the blade in water. The carriage and blade guard are dishwasher safe (top rack).

Why is my slicer not turning on?

Check that the safety lock switch is engaged (pushed in) and the plug is firmly inserted. Also ensure the blade is properly locked. If it still doesn't start, contact Cuisinart support.

Is the blade replaceable?

Yes, replacement blades are available. Contact Cuisinart or visit their website for compatible parts.

What is the maximum thickness of food that can be sliced?

The carriage can accommodate food up to about 6 inches in width and 7 inches in length. The thickness adjustment goes up to 15 mm (about 0.6 inches).

How do I prevent food from sticking to the blade?

The blade has a non-stick coating, but for very sticky foods, you can lightly spray the blade with cooking oil before slicing.

Can I slice cheese with this machine?

Yes, but it is recommended to chill or freeze cheese slightly (< 30 minutes in freezer) to prevent crumbling.

Where can I download the full manual?

The manual is available for free on notice-facile.com in multiple languages. Visit the Cuisinart SPI-50 page to download the PDF.

What safety features does the SPI-50 have?

It includes a safety lock switch to prevent accidental start, a blade guard for hand protection, and non-slip rubber feet for stability.

CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• Unplug the power cord before cleaning. Do not put power cord, plug or stand mixer in water or other liquids.
• Clean all accessories after each use.
• Disassemble all the accessories attached: Feed Tubes, Cutting Cones and Cutting Cone Holder.
• Rinse under running water and remove food scraps with Cleaning Brush.
• All removable parts are top rack dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the outside surface of the motor unit with a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.

CAUTION:

• Ensure that the stand mixer is unplugged when disassembling.
• The blades are sharp; please handle carefully when cleaning.

NOTE: Never immerse the stand mixer in water for cleaning.

Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Tips and 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. May need more force to press pusher when handling hard ingredients.

- 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.

LIMITED 1-YEAR WARRANTY (U.S. AND CANADA ONLY)

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Spiralizer Attachment that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.

We warrant that your Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Spiralizer Attachment will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 1 year from the date of original purchase.

We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase receipt, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

If your Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Spiralizer Attachment should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Consumer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to Consumer Service at Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307.

To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose \$10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.

Please pay by check or money order made payable to Cuisinart (California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).

NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart product that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product model number (located on bottom of product), original date of purchase and any other information pertinent to the product's return.

Your Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Spiralizer Attachment has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120 volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts. This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by attempted use of this unit with a converter, as well as use with accessories, replacement parts or repair service other than those authorized by Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells 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 Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.

Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such products under warranty.

BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT

If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart product, we suggest that you call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the product to be serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart's Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts, and the product is still under warranty.

Recipe Tips and Hints

• The Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ Spiralizer Attachment allows you to prepare ingredients quickly and easily, whether you're cooking for one person or for a party. Plus, cleanup is a breeze. Just rinse the accessories when you're done and run them through the dishwasher.

• Some softer items may be sliced, such as firm plum

tomatoes, avocados and mangoes.

• Prepped foods can be enjoyed raw, pickled, sautéed, fried, roasted or mixed into recipes. They can be used as toppings, served as a side or main dish, or even as a garnish.

• Other fun uses for the Cuisinart® PrepExpress™ include:

• Making rose-like garnishes using radishes and the Slice/Ribbon Cone.

• Making cauliflower rice using cauliflower florets and the Thin Shred/Spaghetti Cone.
