CLEANING & TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning

water or any other liquid. Clean with a
damp sponge and cloth and wipe dry.
• The glass jar and the chopping blades
may be cleaned in the upper basket of
the dishwasher.

the chopping blade as the blades are
very sharp.
• The safety cover/splash guard, anti-slip
pad and the sealing ring may be
washed in lukewarm water and a mild
dishwashing liquid. Do NOT place
these in the dishwasher.
Trouble Shooting (cont.)
Food is unevenly chopped:
• Either you are chopping too much food
at one time, or the pieces are not small
enough. Try cutting the food into
smaller pieces of even size and
processing smaller amounts per batch.
Food is chopped too fine or is too
watery:
• The food has been over processed.
Use brief pulses or process for shorter
time. Let blade stop completely
between pulses.
Food collects on splash guard/safety
cover or on the sides of the glass
bowl:
• You may be processing too much food.
Turn the machine off. When the blade
stops rotating, remove the power unit
and the splash guard/safety cover.
Remove some of the food being
processed. Maximum capacity for
processing is 6 cups (1500 ml).
The processing times indicated below are approximate and also depend on the quantity
of the food to be processed and the degree of fineness you require.
