 Care,  Cleaning 

& Storage

Keeping your FoodCycler clean will help 

ensure that your FoodCycler performs 

cleanly and efficiently. Both the exterior of the 

FoodCycler and the removable bucket should 

be cleaned regularly. 

  NOTE

Before starting to operate your FoodCycler for 

each time, clean the bottom of the grinding 

bucket and the surface of the heating plate 

using a clean and dry cloth.
Follow the directions below to keep your 

FoodCycler looking (and working) at its best.
Always ensure the FoodCycler is turned off, 

switched off at the power outlet and unplugged 

and allow the FoodCycler to cool before 

performing any cleaning or filter replacement.
Cleaning the outside of the FoodCycler

  WARNING

DO NOT immerse your FoodCycler in water. 

This will damage your FoodCycler beyond 

repair and might cause electric shock. Exterior, 

cosmetic cleaning only! 

  NOTE

Use a clean, dry cloth to clean external 

surface, internal surface and heating plate 

surface of the FoodCycler. With particularly 

stubborn grime, you can add a small amount 

of dish soap to your damp dish cloth before 

thoroughly wringing out most of the moisture.

  NOTE

Exposure to cooking oils and cleaning 

chemicals may cause colour fading and 

discolouration to the FoodCycler. If the 

FoodCycler is exposed to oils or chemicals, 

turn off and unplug the appliance and use 

a damp cloth to clean the external surface 

of the FoodCycler. Dry thoroughly using 

a dry, lint-free cloth or paper towel to remove 

all moisture before use.
DO NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner, 

harsh cleaners, etc. on and/or in the 

FoodCycler while cleaning as they will 

damage the FoodCycler.
NEVER use alcohol or other solvents on 

this FoodCycler.
Cleaning the Grinding Bucket

The grinding bucket is made from tough 

aluminium with a protective porcelain 

coating, making your bucket dishwasher 

friendly for ultimate convenience.
Allow your bucket to cool before handling 

or placing it back in your FoodCycler.
1.  Remove bucket.
2.  Remove all blockages and loose particles 

from grinding bucket.

3.  Place bucket in lower rack of dishwasher.
If you find that the bucket contains a residue 

from the previous cycle and you would like to 

remove it, you can run a cycle with only citrus 

rinds (lemons, orange, etc.). The citrus peels 

will help clear any residue or caked-on food 

waste. 
If a jam occurs and you cannot remove the 

blockage manually, soak the bucket overnight 

in warm water (soap optional). Avoid using 

metal tools or metal wire brushes to clear out 

the blockage. 
You can also hand wash your bucket using 

warm water, a small amount of dish soap 

and a dish cloth. Scrub around and beneath 

the agitators as much as possible to clean 

all available surfaces.
