CARE AND CLEANING
When finished processing, switch the food
processor off at the power outlet and unplug
the power cord.
Motor base
Wipe the motor base with a clean, damp
cloth after each use. Dry thoroughly with a
soft, clean cloth.
Processing bowl, lid and food pusher
Hand wash in hot, soapy water using a mild
detergent. Do not use a scourer or abrasive
cleaners as they will scratch the plastic
surface. The plastic parts may occasionally
be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf
only). It is not recommended on a regular
basis, as prolonged exposure to hot water
temperatures and harsh detergents will
damage and shorten the life of the plastic.
NOTE
Do not place food pusher in the
dishwasher as the heat may deform it.
Processing QUAD
‰
blade, dough blade
and discs
Hand wash the bowl and lid. Use the
cleaning brush accessory to scrub stubborn
foods off the blades and discs. The handle
end of the brush is designed for scraping.
To avoid accidental cuts, do not leave quad
blade or discs to soak in sudsy water. The
quad blade, dough blade, discs and spindle
can also be washed in the dishwasher
(top shelf only).
NOTE
The quad blade cover can be
assembled onto the quad blade while
it is placed in the dishwasher for
added safety.
Food stains and odours
Foods such as carrot may leave a stain on
plastic parts whilst other foods such as
garlic may leave a strong odour. To remove
either, soak the parts for 5 minutes in 2
litres of water with ½ cup lemon juice added.
Rinse and wash as normal.
STORAGE
• Ensure the food processor is switched off
and unplugged at the power outlet.
• Ensure all parts of the food processor are
clean and dry.
• Carefully grasp the quad blade using
the spindle. The quad blade and mini
processing blade, should be stored in the
storage box when not in use. It is good
practise to store the quad blade inside
its cover and then inside the storage box.
The mini processing bowl can be stored
inside the main processing bowl when
not in use.
• Place the lid on top of the processing
bowl but DO NOT turn clockwise to the
locked position.
• Place the food pusher, with the
measuring cup inserted, into position in
the feed chute.
• It is advisable not to store the food
processor with the processing bowl or
lid locked onto the processing bowl as
unnecessary strain will be placed on the
operating and safety switches on the
processing bowl and the motor base.
• Place the discs in the storage container
and store in a safe place out of the reach
of children to avoid accidental cuts. It is
not recommended to store the discs in a
drawer with other utensils.
NOTE
The large chipper disc must be
placed in the back slot in the storage
container.
