Safety & Cleaning Rules
1. Before and after each use, disassemble and wash all parts of the
food mill that come into contact with food. Wash in hot, soapy
water. Rinse with clear water. Dry immediately. The food mill is
top-rack dishwasher safe.
2. Check that all parts are operating properly and perform the
intended functions. Check for alignment of moving parts or any
other conditions that may affect the operation. If the product is not
working properly contact Consumer Service.
3. Never use fingers to scrape food away from the milling disc while
PRIOR TO USING
It is best to pre-soften some foods prior to use. If the food is
firm, like potatoes, apples and pears, remember to soften them
by steaming or baking until tender before using them in the
food mill.

the unit is in operation. Severe injury may result.
4. Do not attempt to grind bones, nuts or other hard items. Grinding
food other than what the food mill was intended for will void the
warranty.
5. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in the case of
improper use of this unit.
Food Tips
• No peeling or coring required to make your favorite applesauce!
Use the fine disc for smooth; medium disk for chunky.
• Add just the right texture to your mashed potatoes with the
medium or coarse disc.
• Make homemade gnocchi quickly and easily; the medium disc is
ideal for ricing potatoes.
• Purée tomatoes without time-consuming prep. Skins and seeds
are removed when milling, making creating a delicious tomato-
based sauce simple.
• Make homemade baby food with your own carefully selected
ingredients; use the fine disc to purée peas, carrots, squash and
more.
• Turn blueberries, strawberries and raspberries into preserves,
jellies and jams with the medium and fine discs.

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 which
sells Cuisinart
®
products of the same type. The retail store shall then,
according to its preference, 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 two 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. To obtain a return shipping label, email us at
www.cuisinart.com/customer-care/product-return. Cuisinart will
