note: Before cleaning, be sure unit is turned off and cord is unplugged.
• Completely disassemble processor parts before washing.
• Rinse parts immediately after processing for easy cleanup.
• Wipe base and feet with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Stubborn spots
can be removed by rubbing with a damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive
cleaner. do not immerse base in liquid.
• All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Hand
washing of plastic parts will help to maintain the food processor’s
appearance.
• If washing by hand, fill workbowl with hot soapy water and rapidly raise
and lower the cutting blade and discs up and down on the center shaft.
• If washing in a dishwasher, place removable parts on top rack only – not in
or near utensil basket.
• Some staining of parts may occur. If so, make a paste of 2 tablespoons
of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of water. Apply to stains and let stand
overnight. Rinse and dry.
• do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on any plastic or metal parts
to clean.
• do not allow blades or discs to soak in water for long periods of time.
• Remember to clean the internal shaft of the chopping blade; use a baby
bottle brush to remove any clogged food particles.
• If you are having trouble closing the cover over the workbowl, apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the rim of the cover and workbowl. This should
make the pieces work smoother when attaching the cover to the bowl.
