Care and Cleaning
• Keep the blade and discs out of the reach of children.
• All parts except the housing base are dishwasher safe,
and we recommend washing them in the dishwasher on
the top rack only. Due to intense water heat, washing
the work bowl, cover and accessories on the bottom
rack may cause damage over time. Insert the cover with
the feed tube facing up to ensure proper cleaning. Insert
the work bowl and pusher upside down for drainage.
Remember to unload the dishwasher carefully wherever
you have placed sharp blades and discs.
• To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, pusher
and blade or disc immediately after use so food won’t
dry on them. Be sure to position the pusher upside
down for drainage. If food lodges in the pusher, remove
it by running water through it, or use a bottle brush. Be
sure to rinse out the underside of the removeable stem
to prevent any food lodging there.
• If you wash the blade and discs by hand, do it
carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where
they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal
blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the
blade by its plastic center and move it rapidly up and
down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray
attachment is also effective. If necessary, use a
brush.
• The work bowl is made of SAN plastic. It should not be
placed in a microwave oven.
• The housing base may be wiped clean with a soapy,
nonabrasive material. Be sure to dry it thoroughly.
• 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.
IMPORTANT:
Never store any blade or disc on the motor
shaft. No blade or disc should be placed on the shaft
except when the processor is about to be used.
MAINTENANCE:
Any other servicing should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
CAUTION
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Like all powerful electrical appliances a food
processor should be handled with care. Follow these
guidelines to protect yourself and your family from
misuse that could cause injury.
• Handle and store metal blade and discs carefully.
Their cutting edges are very sharp.
• Never put blade or discs on the motor shaft until the
work bowl is locked in place.
• Always be sure that the blade or disc is down on the
motor shaft as far as it will go.
• Always insert the metal blade in the work bowl before
putting ingredients in bowl.
• When slicing or shredding food, always use the
pusher. Never put your fingers or spatula into the
feed tube.
• Always wait for the blade or disc to stop spinning
before you remove the pusher assembly or cover
from the work bowl.
• Always unplug the unit before removing food, cleaning
or putting on or taking off parts.
• Always remove work bowl from base of machine
before you remove the chopping/mixing/dough blade.
• Be careful to prevent the chopping blade from
falling out of the work bowl when emptying the bowl.
Remove it before tilting the work bowl.
